27. October 2014: Restaurant Costa Brava
The “shrimp with garlic” (CHF 20.00) are pretty regular – they are frozen and definitely do not come in freshly every day (which, I guess is okay given we are talking about a Spanish restaurant which does obviously not necessarily specialize in sea food) and they have a nice and acceptable garlic taste so you […]
26. October 2014: Restaurant Mazzo
The Restaurant Mazzo belongs to the good ranked restaurants in Amsterdam but when I did a bit more in-depth research the morning before having lunch there, I was already questining my choice going to an Italian restaurant while being in Amsterdam. However, I decided to still go. Frankly, not the best idea. I had ordered […]
26. October 2014: Restaurant Keizersgracht 238 @ Hotel Pulitzer Amsterdam
The breakfast at the Restaurant Keizersgracht 238 at the Hotel Pulitzer is a good, sound but regular breakfast. They offer everything from fresh fruit to various breads, cold cuts, cheese, joghurt, cereals, sausages, pancakes, eggs and many more things. However, somehow there is nothing really special or typical local (or I did not find it). […]
25. October 2014: Supperclub Amsterdam
Once more I consulted the book I really got to love – “Where Chefs Eat“. And the Supperclub was definitely the most recommended place in Amsterdam so I decided to book it well in advance. The booking process is rather easy – but the confirmation process is rather annoying. 24 hours before the booking you […]
25. October 2014: The Westin Executive Club Lounge @ The Westin Grand Frankfurt
The breakfast selection at the Westin Executive Lounge is rather limited – there is a small selection of cold cuts, cheese, yoghurt, scrambled egg, bacon as well as bread and juices but it does not offer a comprehensive selection of dishes as in the other Westin Restaurant. However, if you are staying in an executive […]
24. October 2014: Restaurant Vai Vai
Sometimes you just want to go to sleep – and then, the very moment you enter your hotel room, your friend calls you up, informing you it is his goodbye party, and that you should join. So I did! I enjoyed the “carne cruda” (EUR 14.50) which is basically veal tatar which has been put […]
24. October 2014: Restaurant Olivé @ Radisson Blu St. Gallen
While staying at the Radisson Blu in St. Gallen is not exactly cheap, the breakfast is quite fair in price (CHF 27.00). You get to pick from a normal but not exhaustive buffet where you find different kinds of bread … … a rather small selection of juices … … fruit, vegetables and joghurts … […]
22. October 2014: LUCID Bar @ Renaissance Zurich Tower Hotel
The LUCID bar is quite a nice hotel bar – the atmosphere of the place is relaxed, you get to enjoy music and it is actually quite stylishly furnished. The waiters are friendly, and you get your red wine (CHF 14.00) within a couple of seconds. Overall, the LUCID bar is definitely a nice area […]
