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), […]
Quite surprising what kind of restaurants sometimes get awarded Michelin stars: Restaurant Bonvivant Cocktail Bistro (10. March 2024)
Sometimes I’m really surprised what kind of restaurants get awarded Michelin stars. I mean, I would definitely never have guessed that the Restaurant Bonvivant Cocktail Bistro would have a Michelin star – and I also don’t think it deserves it. In any case, despite arriving on time, the table wasn’t ready and at first, we […]
My find of the weekend and definitely a place you should visit: Restaurant Macionga (9. March 2024)
I ended up in the Macionga very last minute and it was a great choice! Somehow, a bit of the discovery of my trip. The place is relatively new, but they have done one or the other thing quite right. The place is already quite appealing when it comes to interior design and placing of […]
A local favourite, but not a place I’d visit again: Restaurant Buddha Haus (9. March 2024)
Sometimes you end up in a place, which you didn’t expect to end up in – the Buddha Haus was exactly this. I mean, the rating of the place was great, but frankly, I don’t entirely feel they deserve it. I mean, the layout of the restaurant is super weird – somehow across various corners, […]
High quality breakfast with outstanding service: Restaurant am Steinplatz @ Hotel am Steinplatz, Autograph Collection (9. March 2024)
The breakfast selection in the Restaurant am Steinplatz is quite nice – it isn’t huge, but there is enough for everyone’s taste, and it’s all high quality, which I highly appreciate. It ranges from your little quality selection of fresh fruit juices … … to different breads and pastries … … as well as a […]
Delicious dinner with exquisite service and interesting interior decoration: Restaurant BRIKZ (8. March 2024)
The BRIKZ was on my to-do list for quite a while, and finally I managed to pay the place a visit. Obviously, I had to go for the “Tasting Menu” (EUR 126.00), which started with a “lentil carrot salad with carrot espuma and a pumpernickel cracker” plus “chawanmushi parsley cream” and both small dishes were […]
A perfect location for a nice little drink to start the evening: Bar am Steinplatz (8. March 2024)
After a hard day’s work, it’s best if you enjoy your evening drinks somewhere close to where you’re located, and since I had stayed at the Hotel am Steinplatz, Autograph Collection, the Bar am Steinplatz was the perfect place for an evening drink. I went for the “Beate (Grey Goose vodka, pear juice, FMK rosemary, […]
Delicious ramen, but not-up-to-task service: Restaurant Momo Ramen (30. October 2023)
The Momo Ramen is a nice place for a business lunch – but it isn’t really the perfect place when you’re a bit short on time. When I had walked in, they immediately attended me and gave me a table to sit down (I had booked in advance). However, then the waiting odyssey begun. I […]
