Oh Spartan...

Currie ALWAYS gets it right. I love these inlaid utensils at Spartan. Perfect.

Scribe

I've had a dream of owning an avocado farm with a Spanish style farm house for a long time and in my dreams in looks a lot like Scribe Winery. The long palm tree lined driveway leading up to an old, but ridiculously charming hacienda, with delicious wine and food. Heaven. (images from here and here)

Candeleria

How fantastic is this Parisian Taqueria. I love the Confetti System, cavernous seating, and neon sign. Could enjoy many a Marg on that sofa! (via Simple Lovely, images from here)

Sydney Picnic Co.

Pretty picnic baskets from Sydney Picnic Co.

Tawlet

I love the concept of this Beirut restaurant, Tawlet. Each day they feature a new producer, farmer, grandmother, mom, chef...to create an amazing lunch buffet feast. In a region plagued by conflict food becomes a common bond across religions and regions. Beautiful idea. (photos from Tawlet and Jason Michael Lang)

Pane e Acqua

I love the whimsical design of Pane e Acqua restaurant in Milan. The owner has a fantastically curated shop down the street called Spazio Rosanna Orlandi where she sourced all of the furnishings for her restaurant. The giant leaves are incredible! (photos from here and here)

Cup of Marsha

Cute coffee making with kitty. (via Hope and Union)

Jeni's Ice Cream

I'm slightly obsessed with Jeni's Ice Cream. The Salty Caramel is amazing and the design (by Columbus, Ohio firm Element) is so fun! They just started carrying it at a gourmet grocery store in Charleston and I think it's going to become a problem. They use all fresh and in season ingredients and get their cream from a local Ohio dairy. Follow their process, 'Cow to Cone' on their cute blog.
