28. December 2013: Restaurant Gile
The “Gile Degustation Menu” including wine pairing (220 TRL) is the signature menu of the chef – and it is worth trying. The menu started with a glass of “Kayra Cameo” champagne which was nicely dry and served to a “green apple, celery soup with orange oil” – at first the soup had a very […]
28. December 2013: Restaurant Nar Steak & Döner
The Restaurant Nar Steak & Döner is located close to the Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque – therefore, it is quite touristic but nevertheless it is quite okay. I started with “Humus” (10 TRL) which was tasty … … but basically the freshly baked pita bread which was served with it really made my […]
21. December 2013: Restaurant Café Imperial @ Hotel Imperial Vienna
The “beef bouillon celestine” (EUR 6.50) was definitely a simple dish but was nevertheless tasty. The broth was aromatic and the pancake stripes were tasty too. Now, I was invited to try the “Viennese Schnitzel” (EUR 26.00) as I had a discussion with one of the responsibles of the Vienna Starwood Complex on where the […]
20. December 2013: Restaurant Fiorenzano
Once more the Delinski reference was a good one – I started with a “Crema di Davolfiore, Salmone marinato e Uova di Quaglia” (EUR 12.00, respectively EUR 8.40) which is a cauliflower cream soup with marinated salmon and poached quail eggs. The soup was definitely not a soup but a cream but I must admit […]

The breakfast buffet which is offered ranges from a great cheese selection with vegetables … … to cold cuts … … and more cold cuts … … […]

The surprise menu of the recently re-opened and renovated Restaurant Bristol at the Hotel Bristol started with a tasty “cream soup of purple carrot”. The soup was creamy and very aromatic. Next was the char which was nicely juicy and had a nice cross skin. The accompanying vegetables were full of taste and quite aromatic. […]
17. December 2013: Restaurant Pasta e Basta
The Restaurant Pasta e Basta is a simple but nice restaurant especially for lunch. The “Italian salad” (EUR 2.40) is quite regular but a fine and cheap start for a quick lunch. As a main dish there are usually two different courses offered – and there is the third option to combine the two and […]
16. December 2013: Restaurant Café Imperial @ Hotel Imperial Vienna
It is long since I wanted to try the breakfast at the Restaurant Café Imperial and this week I finally managed – the selection offered is quite broad ranging from jams to cold cuts, and even special spreads like truffled liver spread (which was absolutely delicious). Of course you can also find a nice selection […]
