An absolutely lovely place with a little patio to sit outside and enjoy tasty food: Restaurant Clärchens (25. June 2023)
I would most likely have passed by if it wasn’t for a friend, who was leading us into Clärchens. The entrance is relatively nondescript, but once you’ve spotted it and look into the garden, you will immediately feel like you want to spend some time there! The place is super lovely in terms of atmosphere […]
A lovely place to enjoy a shisha, although being a bit pushy on ‘duration of stay’: Marooush (24. June 2023)
After such a heavy meal, you need a way to calm down your stomach and to make it relax a bit – and, in my opinion, there is nothing better than a “double apple shisha” (EUR 15.00). I was checking for shisha places and found the Marooush, which seemed sufficiently Middle Eastern to know how […]
Simple, but way too much delicious food: Restaurant Madame Ngo Une Brasserie Hanoi (24. June 2023)
Over and over, I am misled by the German prices, as my head compares them to Swiss ones, assumes portion sizes must be tiny, and then I end up with a lot of food. We went for a few starters like the “Gà ngô (kikok corn chicken)” (EUR 6.50), which was rather uneventful as it […]
The perfect place to enjoy a glass of wine in the sun: The Rooftop Terrace @ Hotel de Rome (24. June 2023)
It is a few years ago since I’ve last been on The Rooftop Terrace of the Hotel de Rome in Berlin. Back then, it was in the context of a wedding, and it was quite nice and enjoyable. But back then, it was also less exclusive, i.e., you didn’t have to book your time to […]
Relatively disappointing overall, but interesting ice cream flavours: Duo @ Italian Street Food Festival Berlin (24. June 2023)
Given the Italian Street Food Festival happened in Berlin when I was there, I figured it’s worth giving it a try. In all honesty, though, I was missing a bit of the ‘special’, i.e., you would get what you expect, which is Italian food in one or the other way. Personally, though, the place felt […]
Good but not sure as good as it is labelled to be: Curry 36 Mehringdamm (24. June 2023)
Apparently, the Curry 36 was once nominated as ‘the best currywurst’ and well, might be, but for me it’s hard to judge. Sure, it was tasty, and it went well with the fries (which were nicely crispy), but honestly, for me it was very hard to say if these “two curried sausages with French fries” […]
Absolutely the best sashimi I had in my life so far: Restaurant 893 Ryōtei (23. June 2023)
The 893 Ryōtei is a place, which was on my to-do list for years! However, every time I intended to go, it didn’t work out as the place is always booked out way in advance. Hence, you really need to plan this ahead and make sure you do your booking with quite a bit of […]
A nice bar with a decent selection of gin-based drinks: House of Gin (23. June 2023)
Before another food moment, it was time to get a break with drinks, so the House of Gin sounded like a good place to do so. When you go there around 6pm, it’s relatively empty, but they are swift and friendly, making sure you have everything you want and need. I went for the “Gin […]
