Decent lobby bar, but definitely nothing more: B Lounge @ Penha Longa Resort Ritz-Carlton (25. December 2024)
The B Lounge at the Penha Longa Resort Ritz-Carlton is located right next to the lobby, which makes it a rather noisy place, but other than that, it’s quite fine. I went for the “Citric Basil (gin, basil, lime juice, sugar syrup, foam)” (EUR 12.00), which was nice and refreshing – plus, the guy who […]
A lovely view during sunset right onto the bay: Chomtawan Bar @ Phulay Bay, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve (30. November 2024)
If you’re looking for a lovely place to enjoy a drink during sunset, then the Chomtawan Bar in the Phulay Bay, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve is definitely the place to do that. I went for the “Watermelon Bubble (Gin, PB Licci Schnapps, Rose Syrup, lemon juice, tonic)” (475 THB), which sounded more promising than it actually […]
The perfect place to sit down in peace and read a book: Restaurant Kafodeio Elliniko (24. November 2024)
I was looking for a place to warm up and have a bit of a read, and the Kafodeio Elliniko turned out to be the perfect place to do so. At first, it’s not really where you’d expect a relaxed and chill atmosphere since it’s more of a pub with music, but once you go […]
A rooftop bar with a lovely view onto the Acropolis: Olympias, The Rooftop Bar (17. November 2024)
Although we weren’t too lucky with the weather this weekend, the sun decided to come out about 2 hours before we left. So, why not get a little of that sun and look for a nice rooftop bar – and so we found the Olympias, which is lovely as the view onto the Acropolis is […]
A lovely bar with great nibbles and cocktails: The Clumsies (16. November 2024)
The Clumsies was No. 3 on the World’s 50 Best Bars back in 2020, and I can still see why. On top of that, I also figured that the bar was saved on a list, which a friend had shared with me, so, I was rather curious when I realised that, and I was not […]
A lovely place for a few drinks in the evening – booking necessary: Restaurant George Bar & Grill (26. September 2024)
It’s more than a year ago since I’ve last been to the George – and I must say it remains a good place for drinks (and probably also for dinner, still). We had prebooked a table since we were a larger group, so, I was quite surprised that I had received my drink within no […]
A place, which is lovely in terms of cocktails, but a bit loud in its surroundings: Late Bloomers (31. August 2024)
Frankly, the Late Bloomers is located in a place where I would normally never have walked in. However, due to the fact that the rating was rather good, I decided to give the Late Bloomers a try, and went for the cocktail with which the bar tender apparently won a competition back in 2023. And, […]
A great place to do a short pit stop on a long drive to Reykjavik: Restaurant Systrakaffi (21. August 2024)
Getting back from Jökulsarlon to Reykjavik is a bit of a journey (of more than 400km), so, after a few hours of driving (at a fun speed of 90 km/h max), I decided to do a small pit stop and went for the Systrakaffi, which had great ratings and decided, very unlike me usually, to […]
