Berlin (DE)
Great to hide from the bad weather but not much more: Restaurant Drachenhaus (28. May 2022)
Although I have been to Berlin a multitude of times, I never made it out to Potsdam – this weekend was the time to do so, and I must say that Potsdam, and especially the Sansouci Castle are actually quite amazing to see – even if the weather was as bad as it was this […]
Great for a cheap lunch menu if you’re patient – and only then: Restaurant Dudu 31 (27. May 2022)
Sometimes, you find quite nice places where you would not expect it and especially the fact that they offer very reasonably priced lunch menus is quite appealing. However, you have to be quite patient since the service is friendly but not necessarily the most attentive. I went for the business lunch menu (EUR 12.90) which […]
No matter in which city, always a reliable and good choice for meat: Restaurant Ojo de Agua Berlin (23. April 2022)
Since I have been to most of Dieter Meier’s restaurants that I know of (Ojo de Agua Frankfurt, Ojo de Agua Zurich, Bärengasse Zurich, Brassiere Freilager (back when he owned it)) but not the Ojo de Agua in Berlin, I decided to give it a try and had booked a table for the evening. It […]
A great spot to enjoy a drink in the sun and watch people passing by: Envy Bar @ nhow Hotel Berlin (23. April 2022)
I was walking along the Spree and felt like taking a little break and accidentally walked into the Envy Bar which looked quite nice. And it was – the service was a bit slow, but if you’re not in a hurry, the place is great since it’s located right next to the walking area next […]
Simple but good Asian dishes for a sharing lunch: Restaurant 1000grad (23. April 2022)
And the Asian food experience continued. The 1000grad is a nice little restaurant along the KuDamm and offers a bunch of small and large dishes. I decided to go for the sharing approach, ordering a few dishes for the table. Starting with the “Buddha’s Goldfinger (softshell crabs in a panko coat, sweet sour, basil cream)” […]
Perfect for elaborate after-dinner drinks: The Gin Room (22. April 2022)
If you’re not in central Berlin, it is not entirely easy finding a nice bar which isn’t run down. Luckily, there was one in the vicinity of the restaurant, called The Gin Room. And luckily, there was still space when I walked in around midnight. The bar isn’t huge and offers seats for maybe 20-30 […]
A truly delicious hotpot experience close to KuDamm: Restaurant Ting Song 随园·听松 Hotpot (22. April 2022)
Since I’ve talked with a friend about hotpot a few weeks back, I was craving hotpot, always remembering that amazing hotpot I have had in Shanghai back in 2017 in the Restaurant Elixir Health Pot! Today it was the day to do that again, and I went for a good selection of all kind of […]
Great shisha place but not much more than that: Restaurant Phoenicia (22. April 2022)
Since there are not that many good shisha places in Switzerland, I enjoy getting a nice shisha when I’m in Berlin. The Phoenicia offers exactly that. I went for a “Moroccan Tea” (EUR 4.90) which is quite nice and enjoyable – with the necessary amount of sugar, it makes for a perfect drink to … […]
