The World’s 50 Best Restaurants
A visit to the World’s Best Bar (according to the World’s 50 Best Bars): Sips Drinkery House (22. March 2024)
Frankly, finding a space here without queueing 60-120 minutes in line seems almost impossible. With the ambition to try something, I booked a slot for 1am that day (respectively the next day) and the good thing is, if you have a reservation, you will skip the queue and be seated even if you are 30′ […]
A former No. 25 of The World’s Best Bars: Dr Stravinsky Bar (21. March 2024)
The Dr. Stravinsky Bar belonged to the World’s 50 Best Bars 2019 and was, back then, in place No. 25. And, frankly, I get why – the place is still rather busy around midnight, and you will have to queue for a bit until you get in. But it’s worth the wait – and it […]
The World’s 50 Best Bars – No. 19 to be found in Bangkok: Mahaniyom Cocktail Bar (7. January 2023)
The Mahaniyom Cocktail Bar is among The World’s 50 Best Bars, and I was curious to experience what it has to offer. And frankly, it is not in a place you’d just walk in since it’s located on the second floor of a restaurant (which is rated quite well as well), but it is worth […]
A truly mind-blowing sensory experience with music pairing in The World’s 50 Best No. 17: Restaurant Gaggan Anand (6. January 2024)
Visiting Gaggan Anand has been on my to do list since December 2018. Back then, I tried to get a table at ‘Gaggan’ when in Bangkok, but it turned out to be impossible. Well, to be fair, I get why. If he was only close to what he offers today, then it’s no surprise that […]
A whole experience catered around the love story of a Mexican and an Indian: Restaurant Ms. Maria & Mr. Singh (5. January 2024)
The Ms. Maria & Mr. Singh is the second restaurant of Gaggan Anand and is located right on top of his awarded restaurant ‘Gaggan Anand’. The place is quite different from his downstairs place, but more about that the next day. The Ms. Maria & Mr. Singh is a mixture of Mexican and Indian flavours […]
A nice, but not entirely convincing lunch experience at No. 28 of The World’s 50 Best Asia: Restaurant Mingles (15. December 2023)
Mingles is listed on The World’s 50 Best Asia restaurants, so I figured to try this as well. The “Signature Lunch” (280’000 KRW) comes in a bit cheaper than at the Mosu, but I suppose this is due to the fact that the Mingles has ‘just’ two stars instead of three. The lunch started with […]
A delicious experience at No. 15 of The World’s 50 Best Asia 2023: Restaurant Mosu (14. December 2023)
Given the Mosu is on the 50 Best of the World Asia list, I had to give it a try. Frankly, the prices are definitely on the more expensive side of things with the “Tasting Menu” accounting for 370’000 KRW and the full “Wine Pairing” for 250’000 KRW. Hence, I was a bit skeptical if […]
An outstanding lunch experience at No. 75 of The World’s 50 Best: Restaurant Fyn (2. December 2023)
Fyn is the second South African restaurant on The World’s 50 Best and currently ranked No. 75. Personally, I must be honest, I found the experience at the La Colombe better than the Fyn, but the Fyn is definitely also up there in terms of overall quality and experience. Funny enough, somehow I ended up […]
