3. September 2015: Inflight Menu ZRH – JFK (LX16)
The very moment you know you’ve been upgraded, you already start your flight in a mentally different state which led to me ordering a glass of red wine at 9:30am – without having had breakfast. Not the smartest start into the day so I only had water and tea for the rest of the flight. […]
2. January 2013: Restaurant The Bazaar by José Andrés @SLS Hotel Beverly Hills
Two words: Breathtaking and mouth-watering! A truly outstanding dining experience is what you have at the Restaurant The Bazaar by José Andrés. As a first amuse bouche, “traditional olives with piquillo peppers were served” which had a very intense taste of olives. But the taste of the “modern version of olives” was even more intense. […]
2. January 2013: Figtree’s Cafe
Venice Beach is an absolutely amazing area – located right next to the beach with a lot of sun, just great. So, basically in whatever restaurant you decided to sit down which is located right next to the beach, it is absolutely nice there. So sunny, so many palm trees, just great! No wonder people […]
2. – 3. January 2013: Restaurant Tres @SLS Hotel Beverly Hills
The breakfast at the Restaurant Tres at the SLS Hotel Beverly Hills is a dream come true. For USD 42.00 you get access to the “Brunch Table”. While the selection is not too large the elements offered are of outstanding quality. There are cereals, fresh almonds, dried apricots, various cheeses including blue cheese … … […]
1. January 2012: Restaurant Lawry’s – The Prime Rib
When you order a typical cut at Lawry’s you get much more thant that – first, you get the “Famous Original Spinning Bowl Salad (crisp romaine and iceberg lettuce, baby spinach, shredded beets, chopped eggs and croutons, tossed with our exclusive Vintage Dressing)” which is a nice salad mixture which is artfully prepared. Then, the […]
31. December 2012: Restaurant La Villa
When walking around in Little Italy, I passed several restaurants and La Villa just persuaded me from the outside – and well, it was also quite persuasive on the plates. I had a “Niman Ranch Pork Belly” (USD 10.00 on the menu; USD 11.00 on the bill; with spiced apple purée and lemon chili aioli). […]
30. December 2012: Alchemy Restaurant
The Alchemy Restaurant was ranked up high on TripAdvisor and apparently provided good and fresh food, so I decided to give it a try and take the 15 USD cab ride from downtown San Diego to the restaurant – so much upfront: it was worth it, even if you pay another USD 15 to get […]
30. December 2012: Viva El Cafe
What is so outstanding about this place is the fact that you get actual coffee in this place – and it is good and real coffee. Not this filter coffee crap you get in most places in the United States. The double espresso (USD 3.50) comes from freshly grinded roasted coffee beans and tastes great. […]
