15. – 22. June 2011: Westin Executive Club Lounge
The breakfast in the Westin Executive Club Lounge is not bad but not really appealing either – while the general selection of food is not bad, it is just somewhat worse than the large breakfast buffet you can find on the first floor of the Westin Grand Hotel. The smoked salmon is supposedly the same […]
15. June 2011: Kulturstrand Bar
The Kulturstrand bar is a great location to have a couple of beers in the evening when the weather is nice – there is an artifical beach, a DJ plays some lounge music, and you can get the drinks at the bar. Especially the cheapness of the drinks is great (drinks and beer between 3 […]
14. June 2011: Tabacco Bar
The Planters Punch (EUR 9.50) is good, the Scorpion (EUR 9.50) is great, and the French Connection (EUR 8.00) is too bitter for my taste but good too. Overall, the drinks in the Tabacco Bar are quite good and fair in price (although they seem comparatively expensive for Germany). The atmosphere in the Tabacco Bar […]
13. June 2011: Restaurant Entrecôte
If you’re in Berlin and are into good meat, then you should definitely eat in the restaurant Entrecôte. The starter “Corsica salad with sheep cheese, tomato and olives” (EUR 8.00) was great because the combination of the sheep cheese, the tomatoes, and the fresh olives made the salad fresh and gave it a great taste. […]
13. June 2011: Gelateria Amorino
I was truyl amazed to see that my favourite Milan gelateria was also to be found in Berlin – but also a bit reluctant to go because I was by no means sure that the icecream would be as good as I was used to it while living in Milan – but hell, it was! […]
13. June 2011: Restaurant in the Westin Grand Hotel
The breakfast buffet (EUR 30.00 p.P.) in the Westin Grand Hotel in Berlin is quite okay – it is not as good as the one in the Westin Grand Hotel in Munich but it is pretty acceptable overall. The selection of different things to eat is pretty big ranging from fresh fruit to cheese, cold […]
12. June 2011: Restaurant Brechts
The “foam of asparagus soup with fried quail breast and vanilla pancake” (EUR 8.50) was a bit too watery but tasted quite good overall. Especially the fried quail breast was really tasty – the vanilla pancake was not bad either. But the combination of some foam of asparagus soup together with a piece of fried […]
11. June 2011: Soda Club
The location Soda Club is quite okay – it is hidden in the backyard of a large building and not so easy to find at first if you’ve never been there. You pay EUR 8.00 to get in. The inside is okay, fine but nothing special. The club itself is pretty big as the floors […]
