19. July 2014: Ivory Terrace @ The Westin Palace Milan
The breakfast at the Ivory Terrace @ The Westin Palace Milan is definitely a great place to have breakfast – you get to sit outside on the sun terrace and enjoy the warmth of the morning while having the chance to chose from a rather large buffet what to eat. There is a nice selection […]
18. July 2014: Ristorante Alice
Maybe a bit an odd start for a review, but this book is really one of the best purchases I have made in my life: Where Chefs Eat: A Guide To Chefs’ Favourite Restaurants is a guide to restaurants where Michelin starred chefs eat when they are out privately. So far, I had only tried […]
17. October 2013: Bar Magenta
The Bar Magenta was incredibly crowded at midnight for a Thursday – as the weather was still pretty nice, everyone was standing outside, enjoying the warm temperatures and sipping on a drink. The Vodka Lemon is quite strong but fair in price (approx. EUR 8.00). The bar inside is – well, quite old, cramped, not […]
17. October 2013: Restaurant Trattoria Milanese
I have heard a lot about “Peck” when I lived in Milan and I must say, as I have been to the delicatessy shop the same afternoon, I love the place. Now, this evening we decided to visit the Restaurant Trattoria Milanese which is apparently part of Peck. I started with a typical Italian primo: […]
17. October 2013: Restaurant MiB
I’m quite used to aperitivo but I must be honest I never have had aperitivo during lunch time but always only in the evenings. Now, the MiB restaurant – which apparently stands for “Men in Bleck” – makes aperitivo a lunch concept. For only EUR 13.00 you get a selection of salads, primi piatti as […]
29. July 2013: Restaurant Al Merluzzo Felice
Great Sicilian food is what you get at the Restaurant Al Merluzzo Felice – we started with “Pesce spada e tonno affumicato delle Lipari” with … … “Alici marinate, porpù, cozzi” … … and “Polpette di gianchetti” (EUR 12.00). The seafood was fresh and tasty – what I have learned that evening and I was […]
29. July 2013: Pogue Mahone’s Bar
I visited the Pogue Mahone’s Bar four years ago and it hasn’t changed much since – the place is still small, dark and very cozy. The beer (EUR 4.50, 0.5L) is good and the waiters are friendly and efficient. Overall, the Pogue Mahone’s is a simple Irish bar – nice, cozy, perfect to get a […]
29. July 2013: hclub @Sheraton Diana Majestic
The Mojito (EUR 14.00) is quite expensive for Milan even but at least it is tasty and relatively strong. The area of the hclub at the Sheraton Diana Majestic is very nice as it is a little patio garden in the backyard of the hotel. You have the chance to eat aperitivo when ordering a […]
