Sub-terrestrial bad service: Restaurant Teatro Più (12. December 2018)
Although the last time I’ve been here, I didn’t really like the experience as the service was incredibly slow, I decided to give the place another shot. Big mistake. Their service didn’t improve a bit since. I went for the “insalata di pomodoro (tomato salad with onions)” (EUR 5.00) which was full of onions (which […]
Decent lunch option but average in terms of taste: Restaurant *hirschchen (11. December 2018)
Given there was nothing on the weekly menu today which caught my eye, I decided to go for something on the regular menu and went for the “chicken noodle bowl (rigatoni in olive oil with grilled chicken breast stripes, porcini from the meadow, bell pepper and rocket salad)” (EUR 12.00). It was okay. The pasta […]
When the weekly lunch menu isn’t all that amazing: Restaurant *hirschchen (5. December 2018)
Although I generally like the hirschchen* due to the speed of service and the fair price performance ratio for lunch offers, today wasn’t a good day in terms of experience. The “curry sausage with French fries and cabbage salad” (EUR 8.70) was really far from a revelation. The curry sauce on top of the sausage […]
Nice bar with the best name ever: Café Muggel (4. December 2018)
The “Café Muggel” is a rather nice bar – small, simple but overall very lovely. The bar tenders are friendly and serve your “Vodka Lemon” (EUR 8.00) within basically no time. The Café Muggel isn’t a place I’d specifically go to but it is definitely a place you can visit if you are having dinner […]
Delicious sister restaurant of Robert’s Bistro: Restaurant Brasserie Hülsmann (4. December 2018)
The Brasserie Hülsmann is a sister restaurant of Robert’s Bistro (apparently run by his daughter) and is rather similar in terms of experience. The evening starts with “bread, butter and vegetable sticks” which is quite a nice selection overall. As a starter I went for the “blood sausage salad” (EUR 10.90) which was way larger […]
Absent service but good dishes: Restaurant La Piazzetta (4. December 2018)
What you get at the La Piazzetta is decent dishes – what you don’t get is decent service! The place is rather empty (we were the only guests) but actually quite nice in terms of interior decoration. Once you are seated, the waiter comes and puts down a stand with the menu. Then it was […]
Weird name but good drinks: Restaurant Böser Chinese Medienhafen (26. November 2018)
Admittedly, the name of the restaurant is a bit weird but what are names but weird ideas someone once had. The food menu is ‘Chinese’ or rather a very European interpretation of Chinese. Still, I tried a bite or two of a friend and I must say it was quite delicious. What is also great […]
Always a good choice for the food but under-performing service: Restaurant DOX @ Hyatt Regency Düsseldorf (26. November 2018)
Once more it was time to enjoy a lovely dinner at the DOX in the Hyatt Regency Düsseldorf. What wasn’t so lovely though was the service as they were very slow and not really attentive today. However, I went for the “baked free range egg, porcini risotto, pumpkin seeds pesto and cress” (EUR 16.00). The […]
