Freiburg im Breisgau (DE)
Overall a decent experience with staff going the extra mile: Restaurant Barroq (18. May 2024)
Given I’ve decided short notice to pay Freiburg im Breisgau a visit, it wasn’t entirely easy to find a place, which had availability and looked kind of nice. The Barroq seemed to kind of work, so, I gave it a try. We started with “garlic prawns (fried prawns, garlic, vegetables, herbs, olive oil)” (EUR 15.90), […]
Lovely little hotel with decent breakfast: Restaurant Winery 29 @ The Alex Hotel (4. November 2018)
The breakfast buffet in the Winery 29 in The Alex hotel offers everything you need and want ranging from a selection of different teas … … to vegetables and yogurts … … jams and honey … … cold cuts and cheeses … … and last but not least eggs. What was missing in my opinion […]
The closest to real Mexican food in Europe so far: Restaurant Yepa Yepa (3. November 2018)
Given I have been a couple of times to Mexico I am always very skeptical when it comes to Mexican food but I am also always happy to be positively surprised. This was one of these nights where you would be positively surprised. Upon walking in I spotted that they had “Agua de Horchata” (EUR […]
Lovely hidden gem: Monkey Garden Bar (3. November 2018)
It is not easy to find the Monkey Garden bar as it is located in the back of a hiking store. Once you’ve found it though, it is worth staying there for a drink. The place is tiny but somehow very atmospheric as they manage to get the best out of the space. The service […]
Not sure if the food labels are correct here: Restaurant Tom’s (3. November 2018)
If you want to have food around 2pm in Freiburg im Breisgau this might actually be quite challenging. After unsuccessfully trying a couple of restaurants which had been recommended, it was finally time to give ‘Tom’s’ a shot. As a starter I went for the “hummus (chickpeas puree, baguette & olives)” (EUR 6.90) which was […]
23. November 2013: Cafe Baldung im Augustinermuseum
Absolutely nice place, absolutely tasty coffee and food – but, dude, the service is sub-terrestrial! First, you have to walk up to the counter to place your order which is unpleasent but obviously okay. Then, placing the order, I was basically first ignored, then finally my order was taken but in a very unpleasant, unfriendly, […]
22. November 2013: Restaurant @ Freiämter Hof
The “Monte Ziego goat cheese marinated with honey and sesame on rocket salad” (EUR 8.40) already looked appealing as it was nicely prepared but when I tried it I was not disappointed. The goat cheese is fresh and rich, the marinade with honey and sesame provided it with the necessary sweetness and the rocket salad […]
