What's Best Meal You've Ever Had?
We asked our Travellers Club members what they consider to be their favorite restaurant/dining experience. We’ve got a well-travelled bunch, whose answers spanned the globe:
Tabitha - “Le Petit Chatelet next to Shakespeare and Co. in Paris and Sazón in Santa Fe, New Mexico."
Vanessa - “Caseificio Borderi in Sicily takes the gold medal which is home to probably the world's best sandwich."
Gregory - “Ristorante Contraste in Milan immediately came to mind!"
Beth - “A cooking class in the Philippines. Market tour, boat tour, and then cooking a feast. Highly recommend!”
Mia - “Mercado de San Miguel in Madrid! You can get any kind of paella and cheeses.”
Heather - "The appetizer where they wash your hands in chocolate at El Cielo in Miami!"
