25. September 2012: Schröder’s Bar
The place is cheap – by all means. The prices are very low (0,5L wheat beer cost EUR 3.00), the place is a bit run-down and you are allowed to smoke inside which is nice if you do – not so much if you do not! The cheeseburger XXL (EUR 4.80) is cheap as well […]
21. September 2012: Ristorante Bianchi
The restaurant Bianchi has recently been awarded the “The Birra Moretti Best Emerging Italian Restaurant Award Europe (excluding Italy)” by “The World’s 50 Best Restaurant” (see press announcement). The first course was an amuse bouche from the kitchen which was tasty, no question but also not really something surprising but the Crostini with olive spread […]
21. September 2012: Restaurant Tiffins
To find such a combination in the Seefeld area of Zurich is an exception – a restaurant where you can have lunch which is actually tasty, enough so you will not be hungry again after two hours and which does not cost a fortune. I had the “Chicken Satay (chicken, satay peanut sauce, vegetables)” for […]
19. September 2012: Restaurant Brauhaus Bönnsch
The grilled pork joint (900 grams) with homemade beer sauce, homemade sauerkraut and potato purée (EUR 14.00) looked like it was a lot at first but in the end it was pretty much nothing but a bone. The fries were definitely not outstanding – the meat was good (the little there was). Overall, the dish […]
16. September 2012: Restaurant Relish @The Westin Grand Berlin
The evening started with a selection of mango relish, relish seasoned the Asian way, rough pepper, sea salt and a selection of different breads and it was definitely a good start. As the Westin Grand Berlin was celebrating its 25th anniversary I went for the anniversary menu (5 courses, EUR 66.00). The menu started with […]
16. September 2012: Executive Lounge @Hilton Berlin
The Hilton Berlin holds an Executive Lounge on the ground level which is pretty unusual – the place is nice and modernly designed though and quite appealing to sit down and relax. The evening menu includes small canapés and wraps as well as mini pizzas and the like. While the wraps and canapés are quite […]
16. September 2012: Gelateria Casa Italia
Although Berlin is not the natural place for ice cream, I must admit the ice cream at the Gelateria Casa Italia was quite good. Two flavours account for EUR 3.00 – I had “White Chocolate” and “Amarena”. The amarena was good – the white chocolate was even very tasty! The place is located pretty close […]
15. September 2012: Astra Kulturhaus
A club in Berlin can be either very appealing – or not so much. This one is is more the “not so much” type. You have to pay EUR 5.00 for entrance and it is not really worth it. The drinks are cheap (Vodka Mate EUR 6.00, Astra beer EUR 3.00) but that as already […]
