13. January 2012: Restaurant Bistrot du Théâtre
The Bistrot du Théâtre is known for a few specialites – one of them being the chicken wings (called “Bistro Knusperli”, CHF 19.40). The chicken wings are good, tasty, and go well with the curry sauce they are served with. So, there is nothing to say about (or against) the quality but also, they are […]
11. January 2012: Restaurant LaBaracca
The concept of the LaBaracca is to order various dishes and not in the row of starter, main, desert, but just in the order of “what I just feel like”. I started with ravioli (about EUR 6.90) which were quite tasty. The toppings over the ravioli were good. The second course, a pumpkin soup (about […]
9. January 2012: Bar Comercial
The Pizza Tartufo (EUR 9.50) has tomatoes, mozzarrella, and truffled ham. The truffled ham was very soft in intensity and, therefore, also pretty tasty. The pizza itself is quite thin, baked cross, has enough toppings and is quite good overall. Especially for the fact that the place is more of an after work bar place, […]
8. January 2012: Restaurant The Pig’s Ear
Having a traditional Sunday roast is a good thing to start a Sunday in the UK – so I started with “Home Cured Spiced Beef Carpaccio, House Pickles, Caperberries, and Toast” (GBP 8.95). The spiced beef carpaccio was great in taste, very intense, very true, just tasty. In combination with the house pickles and the […]
7. January 2012: Wyld Bar @W Hotel
The Wyld Bar at the new W Hotel is definitely a place worth going. The bar is located on the 1st floor and it already welcomes you with its great design and atmosphere! The crowd was pumping when we arrived and it was quite full. So, in order to get a table it is a […]
7. January 2012: Restaurant Asadal
I was a bit sceptical when I agreed to dine at the Restaurant Asadal which serves Korean food and is famous for its BBQ – but I was extremly positively surprised. To start with, the restaurant is not that easy to find. Although it is right next to the exit of Holborn station, it is […]
7. January 2012: Café Bea’s of Bloomsbury
I am no big fan of cupcakes and deserts in general but I must admit the “blackberry cupcake” (GBP 2.30) I had at the Café Bea’s of Bloomsbury was great! It was not overly sweet, actually tasted like blackberry, and – okay, not a question of taste – looked very nice. The tea which I […]
7. January 2012: Restaurant Franzé & Evans
I know it is a crime to eat a burger in a place which is famous for its salads but still, I just did not feel like salads for breakfast. Therefore, I had the “beef burger with sauted onions and fries” (GBP 9.25). The fries were not really outstanding – also, usually you get the […]
