London (UK)
7. March 2015: Wyld Bar @ W Hotel Leicester Square
Whenever I am in London I love to go to this place. I do not know why but I do. The atmosphere is vibrant, the crowd is quite established and last but not least, the DJ does a good job. The prices for the drinks are moderate (vodka lemon approx. GBP 13.00). Overall, still one […]
7. March 2015: Restaurant Wild Honey
As an amuse bouche from the kitchen a “seabass ceviche” was served which was tiny but flavourful and the perfect start to get your palate up to the task. The second amuse bouche – which was served at the same time was “mushroom and jelly” which was even a bit better, respectively more to my […]
7. March 2015: Vagabond Wines
The concept of the Vagabond bar is lovely – you top up a card and then you “pay as you drink” while you are free to choose from approximately 100 different wine bottles and you can consume any wine by the glass. The problem is obviously that there are many many bottles and some of […]
7. March 2015: Restaurant Herman ze German
I guess this restaurant is the most German place you can find in London – and obviously they serve very German dishes like “chopped Bock-Wurst with Herman’s own warm Curry-Tomato-Sauce with French Fries” (GBP 5.95) which was surprisingly delicious. The sausage with the curry sauce was quite yummy and so were the French fries. The […]
7. March 2015: Taylor Walker Bar
While planning to have a relaxy and chilly afternoon, somehow we ended up at a local bar, the Taylor Walker Bar. The place is a typical English pub, a bit touristic but fine. A pint of cider accounts for GBP 5.00 and is perfect to celebrate a Saturday afternoon randomly. The service is friendly and […]
7. March 2015: Restaurant Bar Boulud @ Mandarin Oriental
I had been recommended the Bar Boulud by multiple friends of mine and finally decided to give it a try. As mostly, early booking is recommended, as the place was absolutely crowded for lunch even on a Saturday. I started with “Houmous (Jalapeño-Coriander Hummus, fresh tomatoes, flatbread)” (GBP 6.00) which was a very tasty veryion […]
6. March 2015: Restaurant Beast
The name says it all – I have heard a lot about the restaurant Beast and definitely had to try it this time when I was in London. The restaurant is basically famous for two things: beef steaks and Norwegian king crabs. But one thing after the next – the menu starts with a small […]
15. December 2014: Brown’s Victoria Bar
There are several Brown’s bars across London but somehow I ended up at the one in Victoria and went for a typical British afternoon tea – “cider” (0,5L, GBP 4.50). The cider is good and poured into the glass quite generously – and you get to perfectly enjoy it in a nice atmosphere. The service […]
