12. January 2013: Urbano Bar @Fourpoints by Sheraton
The Sheraton Special (CHF 16.00) is apparently the special drink of the Four Points by Sheraton hotel in which the Urbano Bar is located. Well, the drink was quite okay but definitely nothing outstanding. The atmosphere of the place is very nice though … … as it is modernly desigend and, therefore, quite appealing. Also, […]
8. January 2013: Gasthof Löwen
Why the idea of an “Amuse Bouche” was a nice idea it did not proof entirely successful. The hash brown with some kind of cocktail sauce was – well – let us say a nice idea. It failed. It became slightly better after – the salad was offered for CHF 4.00 only (as we were […]
6. January 2013: Restaurant imagine HB
Looking for a very rich brunch for an absolutely reasonable price – Restaurant imagine HB is the place to go. On Sunday brunch is offered for only CHF 38.00 and the selection of dishes is amazingly large. Starting with sweets, … … various fresh juices … … a nice selection of cheeses … … grilled […]
2. January 2013: Restaurant The Bazaar by José Andrés @SLS Hotel Beverly Hills
Two words: Breathtaking and mouth-watering! A truly outstanding dining experience is what you have at the Restaurant The Bazaar by José Andrés.

Venice Beach is an absolutely amazing area – located right next to the beach with a lot of sun, just great. So, basically in whatever restaurant you decided to sit down which is located right next to the beach, it is absolutely nice there. So sunny, so many palm trees, just great! No wonder people […]

While the selection is not too large the elements offered are of outstanding quality. There are cereals, fresh almonds, dried apricots, various cheeses including blue cheese … … […]
1. January 2012: Restaurant Lawry’s – The Prime Rib
When you order a typical cut at Lawry’s you get much more thant that – first, you get the “Famous Original Spinning Bowl Salad (crisp romaine and iceberg lettuce, baby spinach, shredded beets, chopped eggs and croutons, tossed with our exclusive Vintage Dressing)” which is a nice salad mixture which is artfully prepared. Then, the […]
31. December 2012: Restaurant La Villa
When walking around in Little Italy, I passed several restaurants and La Villa just persuaded me from the outside – and well, it was also quite persuasive on the plates. I had a “Niman Ranch Pork Belly” (USD 10.00 on the menu; USD 11.00 on the bill; with spiced apple purée and lemon chili aioli). […]
