Yumi has been one of my go-to sites for clothing for a while now. I feel like their style is very 'me' from the vintage inspired skater dresses, pretty jumpers & cute animal prints - I always just want everything! I fell in love with this dress* as soon as I saw it online and knew I had to have it for my trip to Jersey! The floral lace top, nipped in waist and flared out skirt is very pretty and flattering for my shape. Plus it's comfy! So perfect for going out to dinner and consuming much delicious food. I wore this dress out to dinner on our first night - scroll down to see what we had to eat and what I thought of the restaurant!

The Salty Dog | Located in the picturesque harbour town of St Aubin's Bay, The Salty Dog was only a 10 minute Taxi ride from our hotel. Fondly know as 'The Salty' to the locals this restaurant was highly recommended to us. It has built up a reputation for its delicious and predominantly locally sourced food plus the friendly staff. On our first night in Jersey we had pre-booked our table there (reservations are a must here!). I hadn't eaten anything all day, due to being really ill on the plane, so I was actually feeling really hungry! We really liked St Aubins Bay and wished we'd had time to look around it for longer as it was very pretty, but it's on our list for next time.
The restaurant was very comfortable, something that is important to me with all my joint pain. The atmosphere is casual and relaxed yet stylish with really interesting décor and quirky art and it was buzzing with people! You can dine al fresco by the harbour during the summer time which I think would be lovely, it was a bit too cold for us to do that this time though. They have a great choice on the menu with lots of fresh Jersey produce and seasonal specials. They also have a set menu which is incredible value, considering the individual dish prices, at £27 each for 3 courses so we decided to go for that! Something that I thought was a nice touch was that as soon as we'd ordered the waiter came round with a bread basket with some delicious Jersey butter at no extra charge. You don't get that in all restaurants!
Mum and I ended up choosing the same things off the menu with the exception of pudding - here is what we had.
Starter | Grilled Haloumi Kebab, Rocket, Char-Grilled Asparagus & Zucchini, Sunblush Tomato, Fig, Quince & Apricot Chutney.
Main | Char Grilled Prime Sirloin Minute Steak, Hand Cut Chunky Chips & Salad
Dessert | Mum - Classic Vanilla Crème Brulée & Almond Biscotti
Me - Peach & Almond Dacquoise, Tonia Bean Cream, Raspberry Sorbet
Everything was delicious but the Halloumi starter was a highlight for me! Their Halloumi seems different to what we have here, it was softer and lighter, coupled with the chutney and other accompaniments made it an amazing dish.
We both really enjoyed are meal at The Salty Dog and will definitely be visiting again next time we're in Jersey. I'd highly recommend going for dinner there if you're in the area.
