19. July 2014: Just Cavalli
Still absolutely one of my most favourite clubs in Milan – the Just Cavalli is located in the middle of the Parco Sempione and allows you to enjoy a great clubbing atmosphere and crowd open air. The entrance (20.00 EUR) is fine as you get a 10.00 EUR coupon for which you get e.g. a […]
19. July 2014: Ristorante Cantina della Vetra
I have been to the Ristorante Cantina della Vetra already a couple of times (1. June 2010, 6. June 2010, and 29. May 2011) but the last time was more than three years ago. I was looking forward to visit again. I started with “fresh goat cheese with pistacchios crumble, Sardinian bread and peach salad” […]
19. July 2014: Cioccolati Italiani
Almost everytime I come to Milan, I have to try the “Cioccolati Italiani” – because there are not many places where you get icecream like that. One part is the flavours of the icecream (3 flavours for EUR 4.00). This time I went for “Fior di Panna”, “Bianco Avoria” and “Crema di Yogurt” which all […]
19. July 2014: Ivory Terrace @ The Westin Palace Milan
The breakfast at the Ivory Terrace @ The Westin Palace Milan is definitely a great place to have breakfast – you get to sit outside on the sun terrace and enjoy the warmth of the morning while having the chance to chose from a rather large buffet what to eat. There is a nice selection […]
18. July 2014: Ristorante Alice
Maybe a bit an odd start for a review, but this book is really one of the best purchases I have made in my life: Where Chefs Eat: A Guide To Chefs’ Favourite Restaurants is a guide to restaurants where Michelin starred chefs eat when they are out privately. So far, I had only tried […]
18. July 2014: Restaurant 8048
Sometimes simple food is absolutely great – not that I had expected much of this place to be honest as I have driven by hundreds of times but never thought to stop. I had the “Tarte Flambee Best West (creme fraiche, minced meat, onions, leek, chili, cheese)” (CHF 23.50) which was very tasty – the […]
16. July 2014: Restaurant Il Salotto
After finally having been able to order with our Tamil waiter, the amuse bouche was “tomato mozzarella basil” which was a good start into the evening. The starter “thinly cut fennel, orange, fresh pecorino, roasted pine nuts served with Sicilian olive oil, lemon and avocado vinaigrette” (CHF 14.50) was a good combination of flavours as […]
15. July 2014: Restaurant Meta’s Kutscherhalle
The “dancing palate surprise menu” (3 courses, CHF 78.00) starts with an amuse bouche “curry peanut pasta salad with smoked ham” which was surprising due to the combination of peanut and curry but in a very positive way. The first course of the menu were “king prawns with quince on a skewer with lamb’s lettuce, […]
