Good seafood with a lovely view onto the sea: Restaurant Maré (30. December 2024)
It was great to return to the Maré after more than 2 years, and it’s just the same as I had it in my memory. They close at 5 pm, so you need to make sure to arrive there at least by 4.30 pm as else they will not allow you to order anything from […]
A lovely breakfast experience with a large selection of different things: Restaurant Mercatto @ Penha Longa Resort Ritz-Carlton (26. December 2024)
The breakfast selection in the Mercatto in the Penha Long Resort Ritz-Carlton belongs to the better ones I’ve seen in a while. It starts with a selection of different cereals, which is quite generous … … by a whole bunch of different pastries and breads … … yogurts, fruit juices, and milk … … fresh […]
Decent Asian cuisine with too many new staff members: Restaurant Spices @ Penha Longa Resort Ritz-Carlton (25. December 2024)
Given it was the first evening in the Penha Longa, I hadn’t booked anything in advance, so, I was just picking pretty much what had availability and the Spices sounded nice. So, I decided to pick a few different plates like the “black pork ribs bao with hoisin sauce, roasted tomato leek and Chinese cabbage” […]
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 lunch place with a lovely view onto a fish pond: Restaurant Jampoon @ Phulay Bay, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve (1. December 2024)
I somehow didn’t manage to make it on time for the breakfast, so, I was looking for a restaurant where you could get something to eat at noon, and there is only one option, the Jampoon, so, the same restaurant you have breakfast in. I went for the “Yum Pak Gud (local green wild fern […]
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 […]
An absolutely lovely breakfast option: Restaurant Jampoon @ Phulay Bay, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve (30. November 2024)
The breakfast selection at the Jampoon is quite decent – the Ritz-Carlton ensures that you get a little bit of everything. That starts with a selection of sweet treats, a few salads … … as well as quite a few pastries you can pick from … … fresh honey from the honey comb as well […]
An Instagram style place, but actually offering a great foodie experience: Restaurant Akra (15. November 2024)
The Akra was also part of a recommendation list and given it only had an Instagram page, I was quite reluctant to go here, but hey, why not. And frankly, I was wrong. The Akra really provides you with a great experience, but let’s go step by step. We had booked a regular table, but […]
