8. July 2014: Restaurant Brasserie Federal
The “Federal salad in a bowl – with bread crumbs, bacon, champignons and radish” (CHF 11.20) is a very sound starter as the ingredients which are present in the salad are actually quite a lot of different ones and at the same times the salad is quite tasty – if it was not for the […]
6. July 2014: Restaurant The Delaunay
The “Steak Tartare” (GBP 10.95) is not really a British dish but I must admit that it was actually very tasty – the beef is of good quality, smooth in consistency and aromatic. The fresh egg yolk refined the steak tartare perfectly – smoothened it out even a bit more. The “French Fries” (GBP 4.50) […]
5. July 2014: Restaurant sketch
The start of the evening was the “‘Ajo Blanco’ which was served with melon sorbet and julienne of palmhearts” (GBP 12.00). While the combination of a quite strong garlic soup together with a rather light sorbet and melon slices was definitely not only an interesting but a good one, the palmhearts did not cause much […]
5. July 2014: Restaurant Zoilo
The Restaurant Zoilo was again somewhat like a pre-dinner – although rather unplanned. While walking by and finding out that they are a nice winebar with quite great wines at display it felt logical to walk in and enjoy a glass of wine. The “house breads selection & butter” (GBP 1.95) was already quite nice […]
5. July 2014: Restaurant Kopapa
The “West Country beef burger with tomato chilli relish, smoked aioli, Emmental, crispy bacon and coleslaw” (GBP 9.90) is a hefty dish. The burger is quite okay as the buns are nicely toasted, the beef is of fair quality, the bacon is actually crispy but what I liked the most was the coleslaw as it […]
5. July 2014: Restaurant Il Blandford’s
After a short night’s sleep there is nothing more helpful than a short and intense hearty breakfast – the “Spanish Eggs (two eggs oven baked on a bed of tomato sauce with piquillo peppers, cooked onions, black olives, chorizo and jamón íberico served with toasts)” (GBP 7.50) was quite a punch when it arrived. The […]
4. July 2014: Restaurant Social Eating House
If you want to go to a posh, nice, fancy place which still somehow manages to remain down-to-earth and simple while serving great dishes for fair prices, you should visit Social Eating House. One hint already here, make sure you book in advance as else you are most likely not getting a table. The tasting […]
4. July 2014: Restaurant Cocoro
When my friend suggested to have a pre-dinner I was absolutely astonished but who am I to decline such an offer to yet try another restaurant? Well, exactly, I did not decline the offer so we went for dinner at Restaurant Cocoro and as it was pre-dinner I decided to go for “three kinds of […]
