6. January 2011: Restaurant Ishbilia
My Lebanese experience this time started with hummous (pureed chick peas blended with sesame oil and lemon juice; GBP 6.25) which was served with bread and it was pretty tasty. Somehow I have had better hummous though but it was definitely good. The tabouleh (parsley salad, finely chopped tomatoes, fresh mint, cracked wheat, lemon juice […]
6. January 2011: Restaurant Sophie’s Steakhouse
Sophie’s Steakhouse is famous for its meat – and well, that is pretty much how you are welcomed – with meat, or to be more precise with a nice wooden platter of salami. Frankly, not the usual thing you get as a “greeting from the kitchen” really but the salami was tasty and aromatic, so […]

The schnitzel is very big indeed, the breading is tasty and cooked in a way it is not all black and too crunchy. The meat is good too, the cranberries fit very […]

As a starter we got a Bruschetta which was quite okay. The tomatoes were fresh, the bread was good toasted but somehow it also lacked a bit of intensity of taste. It was somehow rather tasteless. As a main course I had a Pizza Dolce Vita (Tomatoes, Mozzarrella, Bresaola with Rucola and Parmesan splits; EUR […]
31. December 2011: Restaurant Villa Hausermatte
Dining at the Restaurant Villa Hausermatte is a great experience – the place is definitely a hidden gem. You do not see the restaurant from the streets and the place has no website. The evening started with “Duck liver terrine, home-smoked duck breast and duck liver with rosmary brioches”. The home-smoked duck breast was rich […]
