A decent lounge offering for Marriott Bonvoy elite members: Ellipse Lounge @ Sheraton Berlin Grand Hotel Esplanade (21. February 2022)
If you have Elite status with Marriott Bonvoy, you’re allowed to order one dish at the Ellipse Lounge since there is no actual lounge at the moment. I went for the “lettuce salad, vinaigrette, olives, bread chip, parmesan” (EUR 9.00) with “backed halloumi” (EUR 5.00) which was quite okay. The basis is pretty similar to […]
A fair Asian food experience but far from exciting: Restaurant Nu (14. February 2022)
It wasn’t easy to find something on Valentine’s Day on short notice when you’re just craving for something to eat. However, I ended up being lucky to find something at Nu which turned out to be a nice place. It was, obviously, packed, although I only went for dinner around 9.30pm. Despite the fact that […]
Decent food offer for Marriott Bonvoy Elite members: Ellipse Lounge @ Sheraton Berlin Grand Hotel Esplanade (14. February 2022)
Since the Sheraton hasn’t opened its Executive Lounge yet, they offer you one dish and one drink at the Ellipse lounge in the lobby. I went for the “caesar salad (caesar dressing, bacon, bread chip, parmesan)” (EUR 11.00) with added “pan-fried chicken breast” (EUR 7.00) which was not only served swiftly but turned out to […]
A luscious surprise tasting menu in a place where you’d not expect it: Restaurant Minakami – Japanese Fusion Kitchen (13. February 2022)
Frankly speaking, I wouldn’t have walked into the Minakami from the outside – which is mainly due to the fact that there is a building site right outside of the building and that doesn’t really add to the attractiveness of the place. However, since the place was rated quite well, I decided to give it […]
A decent place to have a Sunday morning brunch: Restaurant Kaffee.Bar (13. February 2022)
The Restaurant Kaffee.Bar is exactly what the name suggests it is – a coffee bar. And quite a nice one for breakfast or brunch, respectively. To have something to drink I went for a “double espresso” (EUR 2.50), a “freshly pressed orange juice” (EUR 4.50) and a “fresh ginger honey tea” (EUR 3.00) which was […]
Incredibly spicy food which makes it a physical experience: Restaurant Preeda (12. February 2022)
My experience at the Preeda was a mixed one. On the one hand side, the service was super friendly, on the other hand, it was actually super slow so you really have to be patient when you’re hungry. Then again, on the one hand side, the dishes are good but on the other hand side […]
A lovely place to read a book and have a coffee: Café A.Horn (12. February 2022)
Sometimes you randomly walk into a place you hadn’t expected to find something nice – the A.Horn is such a case. The place is small but overall lovely and it offers a nice selection of teas, coffees and cakes. I went for a “Mint Ginger Tea” (EUR 3.80) which was nice. Nothing exciting as it […]
A truly delicious vegan experience with a juice pairing: Restaurant kopps (11. February 2022)
Since the kopps offers a vegan menu, I would probably not have walked into the restaurant but luckily, my friend chose the place. For me, the evening started with a “Spree Sailor (spree gin, spirulina alge, gurke, dill, citrus)” (EUR 13.00) which was a bit small but definitely tasty in terms of flavors. I went […]
