27. – 29. December 2012: Breakfast Restaurant @Embassy Suites Convention Center
The omelette station at the Breakfast Restaurant @Embassy Suites Convention Center in Las Vegas is okay – the selection ranges from bacon, ham, jalapeños, peppers to onions – the omelette is fine and so are the ingredients but the cheese put on the omelette at the end is just a big no-go. Synthetic crap! The […]
25. – 26. December 2012: Circa 55 Restaurant @The Beverly Hilton
The Continental Breakfast (USD 21.00) at the Circa 55 Restaurant in The Beverly Hilton is quite okay but definitely nothing outstanding. The selection is pretty limited with some salmon (quite greasy), two kinds of cold cuts, and four different kind of cheeses while two of them being very articial. The fruit selection is pretty okay […]
25. December 2012: Restaurant Trastevere
As obviously there was not much open on the 25th, I was not expecting anything when entering the Restaurant Trastevere and I was positively surprised when leaving. I went for the “Gnocchi Ripieni” (stuffed gnocchi with four cheeses with roasted sausage, mushrooms and cream sauce; USD 19.00) and the sauce was definitely tasty, way more […]
24. December 2012: EWR – LAX UA1165 Inflight Menu
The starter was a piece of smoked salmon on some lettuce accompanied by a salad. And well, it was eatable – but that is pretty much it. Definitely nothing good, outstanding, or anything the like. Pretty regular airplane food that is. The main course was chicken with some kind of vegetables and potatoes. The chicken […]
24. December 2012: FRA – JFK LH400 Inflight Menu
The “smoked wels catfish presented with salad of root vegetables and chanterelle mushrooms” was a good start. The fish was tasty, the vegetables okay, and the chanterelles actually quite good. The main course was a “classical roast goose with red cabbage and fried potato dumplings”. While the roast was okay, the red cabbage was outstandingly […]
22. December 2012: Restaurant Mövenpick Kantonalbank
The chicken wings all you can eat (spicy & tasty with Sambal Oelek, lemon, herbs, olive oil; CHF 24.50) were very delicious. The chicken was juicy and the spices in which the chicken were coated were outstanding. Very simple but great food. The prices are very fair – for the food as well as for […]
21. December 2012: Plazda Cava Apérobar
The Plazda Cava Apérobar is a nice place to enjoy a couple of drinks (beer CHF 5.50). The place is rather small and usually quite crowded but all in all, it is a nice place – especially if you get a seat! The crowd is good too and the service is quick and friendly. Prices […]
21. December 2012: Restaurant Tinto
The Restaurant Tinto is the closest to a Spanish restaurant I have found so far in Zurich. Not like most copies, they serve real tapas which actually taste like the ones you get in Spain. We started with Albondigas (CHF 9.00) which where fine. In addition to that, we had “Pimientos de Padron” (CHF 9.00), […]
