9. July 2012: Restaurant Shaker’s
The “Original Mojito” with Baccardi Superior, freshly squeezed limes, white sugar and soda (EUR 7.00) is quite delicious. The booze level is high enough but you still taste the fresh limes. To balance off the booze, the “Starter Teller” with Calamares, Chili Poppers, Mozzarrella Sticks, Onion Rings, Torpedo Shrimps, Chicken Wings, and Tortilla Chips (EUR […]
9. July 2012: Ristorante Vapiano Bonn
It is best of time in the Vapianos around the world (as Vapiano apparently exists for 10 years already) – so I decided to try the “Insalata Mista Americano (EUR 9.50)” (description: tender beef filet meets with king prawns and home-made grilled vegetables and firm salad. Added on top are cherry tomatoes, spring onions, Grana […]
26. June 2012: Restaurant Sonja’s Gaststätte
Fried black pudding on olive oil bread (EUR 3.60) sounds funny at first but it tastes great. The intense and rich taste of black pudding, refined with onions is mouth-watering. The olive oil (!) bread is – obviously – very oily but it is not bothering as the black pudding’s voluminous taste gilds the oily […]
20. June 2012: Restaurant Seasons @Hilton Bonn
Breakfast at the Hilton Bonn is like eating Breakfast at home – with a larger selection and service. Fresh fruit, cold cuts, cheese, salmon, eggs, bacon, sausages, cereals, bread and fresh juices are offered at the buffet (EUR 25.00). Quality of service varies from day to day – depending on who is there. Some are […]
20. June 2012: Restaurant La Chata
There is no word in German or English for “La Chata”. La Chata is a Spanish tapas bar (not run by a Spaniard though). The bread with alioli (EUR 2.00) is good – only recommendable when there is no kissing planned for that particular night. The “Boquerones Fritos” (EUR 4.50) are crispy but quite dry. […]
13. June 2012: Restaurant Take Two
1 kilo of fresh gambas in a garlic lemon sauce with alioli, a small salad and potato wedges (EUR 21.50) is a perfect reasons you should go the the restaurant Take Two when you are in Bonn. The portion is good to share for two and the gambas are delicious, juicy, not dry at all […]
10. June 2012: Restaurant Brauhaus Bönnsch
The “asparagus cream soup with a chive cream topping, served with freshly baked Bönnsch bread” (EUR 4.50) was refined and taste-intense. The soup was creamy indeed and had big chunks of asparagus so you would actually really taste the asparagus. The Bönnsch bread was crunchy and yummy. On Sundays, there is an offer “all you […]
10. June 2012: Restaurant Café Göttlich
A selection of three tapas was my choice (EUR 5.40 for three tapas): I went for Chorizo (EUR 2.60 if taken by itself), green and black olives (EUR 2.60) and sheep cheese (EUR 2.60). No matter if you chose a single tapa or various tapas they are always accompanied by pita bread and aioli which […]
