5. November 2013: Restaurant Albertina Passage
I have been at the Albertina Passage already once (see here) and it was already great and this time it was definitely even a notch better. The “Kumptner’s truffle egg (“the one hour egg” on creamy baby spinach with Périgord truffles)” (EUR 15.00) was an absolutely tasty combination of creamy, warm liquid egg yolt, creamy […]
1. November 2013: Restaurant Aurelius
The “swordfish carpaccio with black truffles from Umbria” (EUR 16.90, respectively EUR 11.83) would actually have been quite tasty if it would not have been served right from the freezer. The swordfish was still frozen in parts which is a) not the way to serve a dish and b) takes away the taste. So the […]
31. October 2013: Restaurant Hebenstreit
You would not find the restaurant if you do not know where it is – I mean, it does have a sign but it is so small that I would have passed by if I had not reserved in advance. The “beef tartare with rocket truffle cream” (EUR 12.80) had aromatic, good quality meat and […]
30. October 2013: Restaurant Hochmann’s
It is a bit uncommon that there is no menu and the only thing you can eat is the predetermined lunch menu which is the only option – but honestly, I think that is pretty okay in this case as the dishes served are good, tasty and very reasonable in price. For only EUR 8.90 […]
28. October 2013: Restaurant Bristol @ Hotel Bristol
The “Almo tatar with avocados and wild herbs” (EUR 22.00) is surprisingly good. The meat is smooth and aromatic but strongly refined with lemon. While actually quite tasty the avocado layer on which the meat was placed was quite taste-intense almost overlapping the meat taste. The place itself is quite nice (although currently being re-built) […]
25. October 2013: Restaurant Scala
Quite an Italian place, I must say. Overall, the place reminded me a bit of Italy besides the crapy table we got when we walked in around 10pm. The “tomato soup with fresh basil” (CHF 8.50) was served within minutes and it was actually quite okay. It had the original taste of tomaotes and not […]
25. October 2013: Restaurant Dressler
For a change I was not recommended this restaurant but rather found it randomly by walking by – and I must say that I was quite positively surprised. I went for one of the menus – but actually changed them a bit to my liking. I started with a “tatare of pickled zander with an […]
25. October 2013: Restaurant Coelln @Westin Grand Berlin
One thing ahead – for EUR 32.00 you can definitely find at least as good breakfast compared to what you get in the Restaurant Coelln in the Westin Grand Hotel. The selection at the breakfast buffet is quite nice though – ranging from different breads to jams, butter, cold cuts, fresh fruit, fresh fruit juices, […]
