Decent Italian food with German portion size: Restaurant Bocconcino (16. October 2018)
Somehow I ended up in an Italian restaurant again – as there seems to be quite a lot of them. Once seated, it took a while until the menu arrived but shortly after that, some “bread with tuna spread” was served which was fine (but not enough spread). For dessert, I went for the “wild […]
Good lunch bargain but somewhat slow service: Restaurant *hirschchen (16. October 2018)
When you sit outside in the sun in the *hirschchen, you will be able to see how the service is friendly and jovial but slow at the same time. We sat down and I asked quite rapidly for the order to be taken up – and was basically told that it is like in Spain […]
Good drinks and friendly but slow service: DOX Bar @ Hyatt Regency Düsseldorf (15. October 2018)
The DOX Bar is located in the lobby area of the Hyatt Regency in Düsseldorf and is quite nice in terms of atmosphere and the service did a great job. The bar tenders not so much on the other hand as we had to wait quite a while for a “Cherry Mule (cherry, lime, sugar, […]
Decent food but incredibly inattentive service: Restaurant Riva (15. October 2018)
It was time for another round of Italian food – as a starter I went for the “burrata with tomato basil pesto” (EUR 14.50) which was good. The tomatoes lacked a bit of flavour but the burrata was really great. You do not find flank steak often – so I was super happy to find […]
Decent lunch offering with swift service: Restaurant Casa Palmieri (15. October 2018)
Soon after having been there for the first time, I returned to the Casa Palmieri for a quick lunch. As a starter, I went for “Insalata Caprese (tomatoes, mozzarella)” (EUR 11.00) which was fine but I suppose tomato season is over as they were lacking flavour. As a main course, I went for the “Pasta […]
Slurpy Asian noodle soups: Restaurant DON by Maruyasu (11. October 2018)
Given, today was a day without any expected client meetings, it was the perfect day for an Asian soup where you would – for sure – ruin your shirt. So, it was time to go to that same place again and get an Asian noodle soup. I went for the “Yakiniku (fried minced beef with […]
Decent but way too loud: Restaurant Meerbar (10. October 2018)
The restaurant Meerbar has been on my recommendation list for a solid three years. Considering that, I think it’s quite surprising that the place still exists. And it was absolutely full on a Wednesday night! We had booked a table in advance but I’m not sure they had actually reserved a table. However, we got […]
Decent burger but disgusting cheese fries: Restaurant Bullhut Barbecue (10. October 2018)
After the concept of ‘something new every day’, I went to the same mall again for lunch but this time to another restaurant. The Bullhut Barbecue was the place to be, so I went for a typical dish you would expect from a meat place – the “Beef-Cheese-Bacon-Burger (beef burger, cheddar cheese, bacon, sauce, greens)” […]
