Beaumaris' 'Deli Dydd' has launched - and it's great!
Based in Beaumaris, it is part of 'The Grove' restaurant which is opening in the coming weeks, in the former Tredici's site.
My wife and I were heading over to the other side of the island to spend some time with my family as it was my dad's birthday. And, on the way we noticed that the deli was now up and running as of that very day.
Among the hustle and bustle of a busy summertime Beaumaris was this quietly brilliant new business on Castle Street.
It was stocked with plenty of treats to enjoy, from pastries to jacket potatoes and 'hotboxes', which I had been eyeing up, but as it was early morning I opted for a sandwich.
They offer 'make your own' sandwiches for which you can choose your fillings, as well as a range of different breads including Focaccia.

For a quick snack, I have to say that we both thought it was delicious, and cost us £3.90 each. My wife, who is a huge Starbucks fan, also had a hot chocolate (£3.50), which she was left impressed by.
There are, of course, plenty of other drinks on offer there including Matcha options, which are proving popular in the UK right now.

The next day, I was back in Beaumaris with my one-and-a-half-year-old son, as we took a stroll along the pier.
And, yep, you guessed it - we returned to Deli Dydd, this time to try out one of their hotboxes which had already proven popular according to staff.
In fact, I myself spotted plenty of people dotted around the town enjoying tucking into them.
You can choose from a range of main ingredients like beef brisket and chicken schnitzel to be accompanied by two sides for £9.95.

The flavours blended together really well and there was enough in the bowl to make you feel full afterwards too.
Staff at the deli were very friendly, despite being rushed off their feet with orders coming in thick and fast.
So, Beaumaris has yet another culinary gem to add to its ever-growing ranks it seems.
And with the neighbouring The Grove restaurant opening soon, there is still much more to look forward to in the town.

I tried all day breakfast at Boswells Cafe in Newport
So, with this belief in mind, I decided to check out a place that always looks busy whenever I walk past it in the Kingsway Shopping Centre. Boswells Café doesn't exactly scream fine dining but from a distance I always appreciated its humble charm. Boswells Cafe always appears busy in the Kingsway Shopping Centre. (Image: Newsquest) On Tripadvisor it has an average rating of 3.7 stars out of 5 which is slightly on the low side and it's easy to perceive that an establishment with less than four stars won't be great. However, you never have the full picture of a restaurant unless you physically go there and order food. In terms of service, I was warmly greeted by a member of staff at the cash register who took my order. My food arrived in adequate time and another member of staff offered to bring me cutlery without me even asking. I was happy with the service in the cafe. (Image: Newsquest) As for the meal itself, there was a sizable portion which is always appreciated whenever you eat out – unless you're going to a fine dining restaurant you expect to feel full once you finish. That was the case at Boswells. The two eggs, two sausages, two rashers of bacon, baked beans and chips was enough to leave me feeling satisfied. Everything was well-cooked and tasted fresh. My only gripes with the meal was that it didn't come with toast or a hot drink. I feel like this is a standard expectation when ordering a full English or Welsh breakfast and paying £10.50. To sum it up, if you're passing through the Kingsway Shopping Centre, I would recommend grabbing something from Boswells. It wasn't the best full breakfast I have ever had, but it was tasty, filling and reasonably priced. This is my honest opinion of the café, yet you can look at other reviews on Tripadvisor for a different point of view.

Edinburgh's 'Brazil-in-a-box' is a must visit lunch spot
As for Edinburgh? There's a little spot that describes itself as 'Brazil-in-a-box', bringing a taste of South America to the capital city. Located in a green police box on Lauriston Place, at Tupiniquim you'll find a menu of savoury crêpes filled with fresh, healthy ingredients that the team promises will 'brighten up your day'. Taking some time to scout out quick bites near popular Fringe venues, this place is first on my list after spotting an impressive run of five-star reviews online. If anything can improve my mood after a morning of ducking and weaving through the crowds of summertime tourists prone to stopping for selfies midstep, I figure this will be it. It all begins with the batter at Tupiniquim, a blend of rice, tapioca starch, maize, buckwheat and potato flours with added eggs and milk. It's a naturally gluten-free recipe which can easily be made vegan by switching to almond milk. A win for inclusive eating. With my plant-based days far behind me, however, I'm drawn to a less veggie-friendly filling dubbed 'Release the Chicken' (£11.30) with pulled chicken breast, gooey mozzarella, avocado, sweet corn, cherry tomatoes, and spinach. Prepared on a smoking hot griddle, the thin crêpe is given the chance to bubble as it cooks, creating a crisp outer layer that will hold up when packed with sauce and molten cheese. Pictured: The 'Release the Chicken' with pulled chicken breast, mozzarella, avocado, sweet corn, spinach, and both semi-dried and cherry tomatoes (Image: Newsquest) 'Would you like it spicy?', a member of the two-person team in charge asks at some point during the speedy preparation process. Not one to back down from a challenge, my response is a firm yes. Perhaps they wisely called my bluff, because when the hefty finished product is handed over, there's a gentle buzz of heat from added jalapenos rather than a wave of spice guaranteed to trigger an embarrassing fit of hiccups in front of a crowded outdoor seating area. It's just right, and despite a blanket of melted cheese, this veggie and protein-packed wrap still feels like a more nourishing lunch option than some of the deep-fried, you'll find at other street food vendors in the city. Read more: I learn later that this was owners Fernando and Gardenia's main aim for Tupiniquim when launching the business in 2010 after moving from Brazil to Edinburgh. To this day, their belief remains that "healthy and delicious food should be an experience accessible to everyone, anywhere and anytime". A truly healthy lifestyle is, of course, all about balance, so on the menu there is also a selection of sweet crepes ranging from banana, cinnamon and pecans to Dulce de Leche and a splash of Baileys. Lacking a sweet tooth, more interesting to me is the Feijoada, a popular Brazilian dish described as a rich and smoky black bean stew made with pork ribs, pork belly and smoked sausage atop rice and stir-fried green beans. This special is only available on Saturdays, so there will be no chance to put this to the test today. That's probably for the best, as it would take an appetite more ambitious than mine to tackle two orders from this place. But after my first experience of this tiny little kitchen in the heart of the Fringe action, I'm far from disappointed with the prospect of a return trip. Tupiniquim is located at the Green Police Box on Lauriston Place, Edinburgh. Find them on social media @tupiniquim_brasilcrepes.
