Great Chinese lunch offering: Restaurant Lychee (22. April 2022)
Somehow this turned out to be my Asian food weekend – so I ended up at Lychee, which is a Chinese restaurant. I started with “six mixed dim sum (2x Sui Mai (chicken with Chinese mushrooms and water chestnuts), 2x Ha Gau (shrimp in rice dough), 2x Hsiao Long Bao (pork in wheat dough)) (EUR […]
Decent but not even close to the Restaurant Tim Raue: Restaurant Brasserie Colette Tim Raue (21. April 2022)
Somehow, the Brasserie Colette by Tim Raue has been on my to-do list for quite a while – and I finally managed to visit this place. Once you’re seated you get “bread, butter and sweet pickled cucumbers” which is quite a nice way to get your dinner started. They offer sardines as a starter and […]
Definitely a Must-Visit when you’re in Berlin: Restaurant Bass (6. March 2022)
The Restaurant Bass is a true gem! What you find here is great food for small prices in a simple but appealing location with great and passionate service! Once you’re seated, you get some bread and spread which both are of high quality. Since I felt that a “three course menu” for EUR 29.00 couldn’t […]
Overrated and overpriced – but decent food: Restaurant Beef Grill Club by Hasir am Kurfürstendamm (6. March 2022)
The Beef Grill Club by Hasir exists four times in Berlin and I was wondering where to have something for lunch and it turns out, the Beef Grill Club is better in terms of name than in terms of actual experience. The place was empty when we entered but we were welcomed friendly, or at […]
A very well-deserved Michelin star with amazing service: Restaurant CORDO (5. March 2022)
The Restaurant Cordo was recommended to me and I must say it definitely deserves its Michelin star. I went for the “Tasting Menu ‘harbour tour’” (EUR 169.00) with the respective “beverage pairing” (EUR 90.00) and it was worth the spend. The evening started with a few amuse bouches from the kitchen, namely, “crab tartelette, smoked […]
Decent place for drinks but a smokers’ bar: Bunny’s Bar (5. March 2022)
Finding a bar which is open on a Saturday afternoon and still has space is super hard to find. Unless you’re willing to queue for hours. Since I wasn’t, I finally ended up in the Bunny’s Bar. Not a place I would usually have walked into to be honest but since it was rated quite […]
A delicious place for a tasty Vietnamese lunch: Restaurant Hanoi’s Corner (5. March 2022)
If you’re looking for a Vietnamese lunch experience with plenty of tasty dishes, swift service, and for a fair price, the Hanoi’s Corner is the right place to come to. Despite being Saturday at lunch, booking in advance was not necessary since the place wasn’t really booked out. However, since it’s not massive in terms […]
An absolutely delicious experience with exquisite service: Restaurant Diekmann (22. February 2022)
Sometimes you find one of these gems which are rated good but when you try it, you’re still surprised – positively! I went for the “4 course tasting menu” (EUR 60.00) with the appropriate “wine pairing” (EUR 36.00) and was already surprised how much (or rather how little) it would cost. The first little surprise […]
