ABERDEEN
The award-winning, family-run Ashvale fish and chip shop on Great Western Road has
been serving the people of the North East for over 30 years. Their concept is simple: buy
the very best of produce and deliver the perfect fish supper. Most of their fish comes
straight from Peterhead Market and they use local suppliers where possible. The menu
includes delights such as Fisherman’s Feast (a platter of haddock, cod, sole, rock turbot,
scampi and salmon) and the Ashvale Whale, a one-pound haddock fillet that comes with a
challenge. Finish it and you get a second on the house, or a free dessert. Although fish is their
speciality (they make a mean Smoked Chowder with hot bread), they also serve a variety
of grilled steaks, burgers and chicken dishes, plus salads and vegetarian dishes. Desserts
are traditional and include Sticky Toffee Pudding, Caramel Apple Pie, Knickerbocker Glory,
Banana Split, Chocolate Fudge Cake and Millionaire Cheesecake. There’s also a gluten-free
menu and free meals for under-fives. They also have eight other restaurants in the area.
ANGLESEY
Anglesey Sea Zoo is a unique
aquarium with over 40 tanks
displaying the best of British marine
wildlife! Don’t expect to see large sharks,
tropical fish or sea turtles – instead you’ll
find fascinating creatures from around the
coasts of the UK, such as octopus, lobsters,
cuttlefish and small British catsharks, along
with lumpsuckers, rare British long-snouted
seahorses, and Moon Jellyfish, to name
a few! You’ll also learn about British
marine habitats and the research and
conservation work which is helping to
save them.
AL I CANTE
Situated in the heart of the old
town, Hotel Les Monges Palace was
once a historic nunnery but is now a
delightful hotel brimming with treasures,
such as restored ornate tiles, stained glass,
wooden beams, paintings and pretty
interior patios. Bedrooms are decorated
in neutral colours or white with wooden
flooring, while the bathrooms are a
contrast of dazzling patterns or black-and-
white sketches. Breakfast is buffet style
and there’s a stunning roof terrace for
evening drinks where you can enjoy
views of the city.
ANTWERP
The De Groote Witte Arend brasserie
in the centre of Antwerp is a must-visit.
This café-restaurant was established
in 1977 in an old patrician house. An
oasis in the middle of the noisy city,
there are different rooms to dine in and
the beautiful terrace ensures that you
can enjoy a snack or extensive dinner
in comfort both summer and winter. The
menu includes several traditional Flemish
dishes, including herrings with a sauce
and potatoes on Fridays, plus an extensive
beer list with a number of speciality beers
that are quite rare.
AMSTERDAM
The Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) is
the world’s biggest club festival and
Europe’s leading electronic music
conference. It returns to Amsterdam from
17th-19th October, hosting more than 400
events throughout the city. The playlist is
always suitably diverse, featuring electro,
acid, techno, trance, house, hip-hop,
drum ‘n’ bass and other beat-filled
sounds. With a huge number of events
and parties taking place, ADE sees more
than 2,000 artists descend on 80 locations
across the city.
