Lovely atmosphere, good drinks, slow service: Mondi Bar @ The College Hotel, Autograph Collection (18. June 2023)
I wanted to have a quick drink before dinner, so, I figured the hotel bar would probably be the best choice – and while it is kind of lovely to sit outside in the patio, it was also a bit annoying since there is not really any waiter taking care of you. There was one […]
Same place, same food, very different service experience: Restaurant moriki @ Roomers Hotel Baden-Baden (30. May 2023)
Given after another round of golf at yet another golf course, called Baden-Baden, we felt like having something to eat before leaving Baden-Baden, and so, it was the moriki again. I had ordered Tori Karaage (so like fried chicken), but somehow they served “tori gyoza (5 pieces chicken vegetable dumplings, ponzu)” (EUR 10.00), which I […]
Excellent service and good dishes for dinner: Restaurant moriki @ Roomers Hotel Baden-Baden (29. May 2023)
While the moriki is the breakfast restaurant in the morning, it turns into a ‘regular Asian restaurant’ for lunch and dinner. And since the day was quite exhausting, I decided to eat in the hotel restaurant, the moriki. I went for the “fried mandu (8 pieces deep-fried vegetable dumplings, chilli sauce)” (EUR 8.00), which were […]
A great breakfast selection with that perfectly crispy bacon: Restaurant moriki @ Roomers Hotel Baden-Baden (28. May 2023)
The breakfast selection at the moriki in the Roomers Baden-Baden is actually quite nice. You get everything you need and want, and of good quality. The bacon is super nicely crispy and not full of fat (as it is way too often). There is a nice selection of various pickled vegetables, which is surprisingly and […]
The perfect place to chill in the sun with a good drink or two: Rooftop Bar @ Roomers Baden-Baden, Autograph Collection (27. May 2023)
If you’re looking for a place to chill and relax (and potentially even have a dip in a rooftop pool), then the Rooftop Bar at the Roomers Baden-Baden is quite perfect. It’s atmospheric, hip, modern, and there are quite a few good drinks you can enjoy while lulling in the sun. I went for the […]
Quite decent breakfast but nothing special: Restaurant La Grande Georgette @ La Caserne Chanzy Hôtel & Spa (18. May 2023)
The selection of dishes at the La Grande Georgette isn’t really overwhelming. You have a bit of everything, which is quite nice, but it is really not like you’re getting a lot of anything. I mean, you will find somehow cold cuts, a few cheeses, even salmon … … as well as a few pastries […]
A very decent option for a quick and quite tasty dinner: Restaurant Kazo @ Le Méridien Riyadh (8. May 2023)
The Kazo remains a choice of mine while staying at the Le Méridien – the place is spacious and offers privacy since the tables are not very close to each other. On top of that, the staff is friendly and attentive. The dishes are decent (not mind-blowing, but decent) as for example the “mee goreng […]
A typical lovely St. Regis breakfast selection: Restaurant Cordelia @ The St. Regis Dubai, The Palm (6. May 2023)
What I like about the Ambassador status with Marriott is the included breakfast. And since I was not able to try the breakfast buffet the first day, it was definitely on my list for the second day. And the offering is quite broad ranging from a variety of different breads … … to freshly pressed […]
