	SPOTLIGHT ON

Restaurant of the Month

Les 110 Taillevent
Paris

A restaurant for wine lovers! This brasserie on the rue de Fauborg in Paris, lists a selection of 110 wines that you can order by the glass. Each dish on the menu has been matched with 4 wines, served in smaller glasses, so that you can experience a different wine with each course. You can dine a la carte or from the menu fixe which offers a delicious selection of meat, fish and vegetarian options.

Venue of the Month

The Mini Bottle Gallery
Oslo

If you are looking for an unusual venue to host up to 80 people, then this is certainly worth a look! Christian Ringnes, whose great great grandfather founded the Ringnes Brewery is also known as “The Mini Bottle King”. Since the age of seven, he has been collecting miniature bottles and in 1996 purchased the building at Kirkegaten 10 in Oslo to house his 53,000 bottles. The venue boasts a main plenary room which seat 88, with 2 breakout rooms.

Location of the Month

Prague, Czech Republic

Equal to Paris in terms of beauty, history going back a millennia and possibly the best beer in Europe; it’s easy to see why Prague has been voted 5th top destination to visit in the world. With plenty of hotels and meeting space to suit all budgets and an international airport within 20km of the city centre, we think this is a great location for any conference.
