23. November 2012: Gelateria Art i Sa
Spain is not really famous for its ice cream but because it was quite a sunny day and they offered the flavour “Dulce de Leche” (EUR 2.80 for one small bowl) I figured I have to try. And it was absolutely tasty – sweet, just like Dulce de Leche should taste. Yummy! The place looks […]
23. November 2012: Restaurant Tapa Tapa
The Restaurant Tapa Tapa is a typical tourist place in the harbour of Barcelona – so I did not expect too much and I was right about it. The tomato salad with tuna and onions (EUR 5.30; “Tomaquet amb ventresca de tonyian”) was quite okay – the tuna was not raw as displayed but cooked. […]
22. + 23. November 2012: Sutton Club
Awarded by the Finest Clubs of the World, the Sutton Club is definitely among the good ones in Barcelona. The door policy is strict and the easiest way to get in is to book a table in advance or to know one of these club networkers (like e.g. Fabrizio Vernice) so you do not even […]
22. November 2012: Otto Zutz Club
The Otto Zutz Club is quite cool – it has floors on three levels while the ground floor is the regular one and the third floor is the by-invitation-only floor with a bit more privacy and generally a nicer crowd. The place is stylish, the drinks are good (vodka lemon EUR 12.00) and very strong. […]
21. November 2012: Restaurant Maredo
I decided to give the Restaurant Maredo a try again – in a different country this time. Last time when I tried Maredo in Germany I was not really satisfied or persuaded – and I must admit, I am still not. Everyone should get a second chance – well, you got it, and you failed! […]
21. November 2012: Restaurant Das Heinz
The restaurant “Das Heinz” was recommended to me by a dear friend for lunch because the place is run apparently by a former investment banker who just got sick of the job – and I must admit that it was a good recommendation! I went for the business lunch menu (EUR 9.00) which started with […]
20. November 2012: Bristol Bar
The Hotel Bristol is located right next to the opera and I figured I should give it a try! I went for a Jalapeno Mary (EUR 14.50) which is basically a Bloody Mary but just in a spicy way. It took the waiter quite some time to actually prepare the drink but I must admit […]
19. November 2012: Restaurant Limes
The pumpkin soup (creamy soup with roasted hokkaido pumpkin; EUR 4.20) as a starter was a good choice. The soup was good, aromatic, and you actually had a sound start into the meal. The main course were “Gnocchi fatti in casa” with pesto, mozzarella and nuts (EUR 7.80). The Gnocchi were fresh, had an intense […]
