Good Latin American dishes with a German twist: Restaurant Paracas I (29. October 2022)
Whenever I’m in Berlin, it feels like I’m eating too often in Asian(-inspired) restaurants, so I, decided to do something else in the evening. I went for the “tapas platter” to get started, which is quite extensive. It was priced at around EUR 12.00-EUR13.00, so, I was quite surprised how much food you would actually […]

Decent dishes if you’re in the area: Restaurant Mido (29. October 2022)
The Mido had quite high ratings, so, I decided to give it a try. To start, I went for the “summer roll (grilled salmon belly)” (EUR 4.00), which was a nice bite, and it was served quite quickly, which I always appreciate when you’re sitting down and are starving. As a main, I went for […]

Interesting wine pairing from Israel, but not optimal in terms of service: Restaurant Prism (28. October 2022)
It was the fourth Michelin star in a week – and frankly, at some point you’re just kind of fed up with it. The whole evening started off not really optimally since they were not able to find my booking in the system. Five minutes later, after we had been seated, they came and apologized. […]

Outstandingly efficient concept and delicious ramen: Restaurant Hage Ramen (28. October 2022)
Berlin is just a great place for Asian dishes. The Hage Ramen has quite high ratings on Google, and I get why. Firstly, because you can order and pay everything at the table, the order goes straight to the kitchen, and once you’re done, you can just get up and leave skipping the annoying part […]

A delicious Vietnamese lunch experience with slow service: Restaurant ChuChin (1. October 2022)
What you get at the ChuChin is a really tasty Vietnamese lunch experience – which comes with one downside, which is speed. When I walked in, the place was relatively empty, and I was welcomed in a friendly way and seated right away. Once that had taken place, I was brought the menu, and then […]

Decent breakfast selection during Oktoberfest: Restaurant Le Potager @ Le Méridien Munich (24. September 2022)
It’s a bit more than a year ago since I’ve last been to the Le Méridien Munich, and I was happy to return – especially since the Oktoberfest was taking place again. But before it was time to go to Oktoberfest for another round, it was time to have breakfast – and the Le Potager […]

A lovely little restaurant with a small menu, but in a lovely location: Restaurant Bar Brass (14. August 2022)
Finding a restaurant in Berlin I haven’t tried and which has great ratings isn’t that easy any more. Luckily, Berlin is big enough, so that you find something still. The Bar Brass was such a place. I went for a “Pisco Sour” (EUR 12.00) to start, which was definitely nice. The “bread & spread” was […]

A truly outstanding experience with flawless service: Restaurant Gärtnerei (13. August 2022)
The Restaurant Gärtnerei is listed as a Bib Gourmand in the Guide Michelin app and, personally, I understand why. I started with a “Basil Smash (Tanqueray gin, home-made basil sugar, fresh basil, fresh lemon juice)” (EUR 12.00) which was nice and full of flavour – perfect to start the dinner. As a small amuse bouche […]
