False pretenses and a verbally intrusive waiter: Restaurant Les Deux (26. October 2024)
Incomplete information is the best description of what happened when I had called to book. The Les Deux has various ‘levels’ of their restaurant. I had called to get to the 1 Michelin Star restaurant, however, that wasn’t really what had happened since they placed us in the restaurant on the ground floor, which is […]
A lovely wine bar with a Bavarian twist: Restaurant Weinbar Griabig (26. October 2024)
The Weinbar Griabig is not a place I probably would have walked into, since it looks rather tiny and crowded from the outside. But, once you’re inside, you are welcomed by a warm and lovely atmosphere, which is rather traditional since it’s mainly held in wood. I went for the “pork roast salad (with croutons, […]
Nice to return for a breakfast session after 7 years: Restaurant Backspielhaus (5. October 2024)
It’s about 7 years ago since I’ve last been to the Backspielhaus, but I have good memories of it, so it was time to give it another shot. I went for the “ham and cheese omelet” (EUR 7.50), which was a good portion and was generally speaking also good in terms of taste. However, it […]
Decent breakfast in a not so nice, renamed restaurant: Restaurant Eisbach @ Four Points by Sheraton Munich Arabellapark (1. October 2024)
Since they’ve rebranded the Sheraton Arabellapark to the Four Points by Sheraton Munich Arabellapark (largely due to the fact that the place really has gone down in terms of interior, I assume), they also had to rebrand their SixtySix Dine & Grill to the Restaurant Eisbach. Frankly, though, the only thing new is the name. […]
Part of the Nobu chain with delicious dishes, but definitely too pricey: Restaurant Matsuhisa (30. September 2024)
Funny enough, about 2 days back I’ve just speaking about the Mandarin Oriental and their rooftop terrace, so, it was rather funny to end up in the Mandarin Oriental 2 days later, even if it wasn’t the rooftop terrace! The Matsuhisa is a lovely place, which – apparently – belongs to the Nobu chain, so, […]
The place, where they “write dishes”: Restaurant Schreiberei (28. September 2024)
I had picked the Schreiberei as a place I haven’t been to before, so, I figured let’s give it a try. They have a small, but nice menu, offering a few nice dishes like the “burrata” (EUR 12.00), which is served in a cup, which makes it look rather fancy and they pour the olive […]
The perfect date spot, if you were to go on a date: Restaurant Café Lotti (28. September 2024)
When I had booked the Café Lotti, my friend was a bit surprised since – and I wasn’t aware of it – it was a bit of a date spot apparently (at least he mentioned that he has been here with his girlfriend) and once I had entered the place, it became clear to me […]
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), […]
