6. June 2013: Restaurant Liu’s Wok
A typical Thai soup, the “Tom Kah Gai” (coconut soup with chicken filet, EUR 2.20 – substitute for the menu soup) was tasty and spicy. The chicken was quite heavily cooked though and therefore rather chewy. The “Liu’s Sushi Traum” (EUR 14.90 per person; at least 2 people; 6 vegetable maki, 6 california maki, 6 […]
2. June 2013: Dino’s American Bar
The Baguette “El Rey” (EUR 5.00; créme fraiche, ham, brie, tomatoes, pepper and oregano) is quite simple but astonishingly tasty. The combination of the molten brie, the tomatoes, pepper and oregano is incredibly tasty. As one usually does not go to a bar to eat but much more to drink, I figured I should try […]
1. – 2. June 2013: Restaurant Verdíl @Sheraton Madrid Mirasierra Hotel & Spa
The breakfast at the Restaurant Verdíl is qutie fine. The selection ranges from tasty cold cuts as jamón iberico, chorizo and regular ham to various cheeses, yoghurt, churros, donuts, various breads, scrambled eggs, bacon, cereals, fruit, pre-cut fruit and of course the regular selection of coffee, tea and juices. One downturn is the fact that […]
1. June 2013: El Biguine Bar @Sheraton Madrid Mirasierra Hotel & Spa
The “Red Passion” (EUR 12.00, made of rum, orange juice, red fruits and mint) tastes absolutely refreshing and is also nicely strong so you get a bit boozed up while sitting in the sun. But if you are not too fond of the sun, you should rather not have a drink here. Not because it […]
1. June 2013: Mercado de San Miguel
As mentioned before, the Mercade de San Miguel is located right next to the Calle Mayor (where you can also find the Gelateria Amorino) and it is worth a visit! After having collected a few fish “tapas” from the “La Casa del Bacalao” (Sardina Ahumado, Ajoarriero, Pulpo, Bacalo and Atún, each EUR 1.00) as well […]
31. May 2013: Botilleria y Fogón Sacha
PHANTASMAGORIAL! MIND-BLOWING! INCREDIBLY GOOD! You would never find this place “by coincidence”, I can guarantee you! I read about it in the book (see review) “Where the chefs eat”. It was the first place I have tried so far – and I must say, it won’t be the last! But first things first. I booked […]
31. May 2013: Covent Garden Pub
The “Covent Garden Pub” is a pretty simple Irish pub – it has an atmosphere of “old” and the typical audience you would expect in a pub. Half a pint accounts for EUR 1.60 which is quite fair. There is no real service – you have to order your stuff at the bar. The bartender […]
31. May 2013 – 2. June 2013: Sheraton Club Lounge @Sheraton Madrid Mirasierra Hotel & Spa
It is quite some time ago that I have been to a good lounge of a Starwood hotel – often there is non available or then the offer they have is rather limited. And I must say that the Sheraton Club Lounge in the Sheraton Madrid Mirasierra Hotel & Spa is definitely worth a visit. […]
