11. July 2013: Botinero
I definitely missed the concept of aperitivo very much – when you’re on the guest list, you only pay EUR 10.00 for a Mojito. The mojito gets stronger with each one you order. But the mojito is not actually why you come for aperitivo but much more the actual aperitivo … … ranging from rice […]
11. July 2013: Ristorante Montecodeno
Located at the Lago di Como, the Ristorante Montecodeno is famous for its seafood dishes. As a starter several small canapées were served which were definitely tasty. Some of them more – others less but all definitely provided in very good quality. Second was the “primo” which usually consists of pasta but that somehow got […]
11. July 2013: hclub @ Sheraton Diana Majestic
After having had breakfast about two weeks ago at the FourPointy by Sheraton in Milan, my expectations were quite low. Luckily, for once my expectations were not met. The breakfast buffet offered at the hclub @ Sheraton Diana Majestic is definitely not cheap with EUR 38.00 but I must say that the selection – though […]
10. July 2013: Ristorante L’Angolo di Casa
The smell of the “ravioli al brasato di Vitello al burro versato” (EUR 13.00) already tickled my nose when I walked by – so I had to turn to enter this little place. The ravioli were absolutely tasty and my hopes were up after the first course! Unfortunately, they were not really fulfilled when the […]
7. July 2013: Restaurant Accademia del Gusto
While it was quite a hot day it got immediately better – the tasty white wine served combined with a very refreshing “cold melon mint soup” which immediately cooled you down. The “burrata with sprouts” was obviously not as refresing but accordingly taste-intense! The prosciutto wrapped around the grissini provided the perfect entrée for the […]
4. July 2013: Restaurant L’Angolo della Pizza
The “Tagliatelle al Tartufo with black truffles and parmesan” (EUR 5.00) as a starter was a great idea – the pasta was cooked al dente and the black truffle was generously distributed all over. Taste-wise definitely good but then again not the freshest truffle I have tried in my life. The “beeffilet in green pepper […]
2. – 3. July 2013: Mortons am Summerstage
Twice at the same place within two days is not what I usually do but sometimes it is just the right thing to do. The first time, I had a “grilled sirloin beef steak (200gr) with homemade French fries and half a corn cob” (EUR 13.40). I ordered the meat medium-rare but just got it […]
28. June 2013: Restaurant Schützengasse
“Bruschette with mushrooms” is the first course of the lunch menu (CHF 24.50) and was actually quite tasty. The layer of mushrooms is thick and the crunchy bread provides the perfect basis to make it a real tasty bruschetta. The “meat loaf with mashed potatoes, gravy and fried egg” was recommended by the waiter and […]
