19. December 2011: Callooh Callay Bar
The Callooh Callay Bar is a place you would not walk in when you see it from the outside. It looks a bit dark and shabby. But once you enter the place, the picture changes. The interior is comfortable, the place is somehow inviting, perfect for a date. There are two separate rooms plus a […]
19. December 2011: Restaurant Lena
The Jerusalem Artichoke Soup with Italian Truffle Shavings (GBP 6.90) was a good start into the evening. The soup is pretty solid, the taste of artichoke is quite intense and the portion is astonishingly big. The black truffle shavings on top of the soup were good in taste as they were not too intense. The […]
19. December 2011: The Providores & Tapa Room
The Tapa Plate of grilled chorizo, guindilla chillies, marinated olives, grilled artichoke, babaganoush, fig and orange preserves and après soleil cheese (GBP 12.40) provides a nice selection of different little morsels. The chorizo is spicy and tasty, the olives are good and marinated with mustard seeds, the fig and orange preserves are great in taste […]
18. December 2011: Restaurant Brasserie Louis
The Tartar Royal is absolutely great – the tartar is very tender, smooth and the truffle oil used to refine it gives it this little special extra taste without being too intense in taste. The Tartar Royal is 350gr big and is served with capers, onions, gherkins, and chili and is for two people (min.) […]
17. December 2011: Restaurant EAT @Factory Hotel
Absolutely great atmosphere! That is the first thing which comes to your mind when you are dining at the Restaurant EAT in the Factory Hotel. The place just looks great – does not matter if it is in the mornings when the sun is shining and you can enjoy breakfast or if it is towards […]
11. December 2011: Schumann’s Bar am Hofgarten
The Planter’s Punch is quite okay in taste but to it was also rather small especially for the price of EUR 10.50 for such a small drink. The atmosphere of the Schumann’s Bar is pretty nice though. The place is somewhat lively and the crowd is pretty good too. Overall one can definitely say that […]
11. December 2011: Pret A Diner by Adam Byatt
Definitely an experience of its own – and one worth having in your food portfolio! The evening started with some “nut butter and smoked butter with bread”. The bread was freshly baked and respectively tasteful. The two butters which were brought to the table were a dream. The nut butter tasted a bit like shortpastry, […]
10. December 2011: Restaurant Brenner Grill
The evening started with a tuna tartar with wasabi sprouts, wasabi cream, and wasai tobikko (EUR 14.50). The tuna tartar was tasty and the wasabi sprouts gave it the little extra flavour one is looking for. The wasabi cream looked more like yoghurt but it was definitely wasabi – and it rounded up the whole […]
