22. October 2014: Restaurant James Joyce
The “beef tatar classic” (CHF 33.00) is okay. The meat is not outstanding in quality, and the side elements are also rather simple but at least you get enough toast without having to ask for more (which happens seldomly enough). What was a bit surprising with regards to the serving order was the fact that […]
22. October 2014: Restaurant San Valentina
The “Carpaccio alla piemontese with rocket salad and parmesan” (CHF 15.50) looked okay – and tasted okay. The beef did not really seem too fresh but was still okay overall. However, it was not the most pleasant start for a lunch. The main course on the other hand was way richer – the “tagliatelle dello […]
21. October 2014: Restaurant Minimum
Although the restaurant is an area I thought I knew, I was not aware of its existence. The restaurant is part of a climbing hall – which are two things one would probably usually not combine. I had “chestnut sweet potatoes soup” (CHF 4.50) as a starter and while the portion of the soup was […]

19. October 2014: Restaurant Carpe Diem Lounge Club [CDLC]
I had been at the Carpe Diem Lounge Club two years ago for clubbing – but never really for eating. However, as the restaurant I had originally booked for midday was full at the time we arrived (2pm), we decided to go next door and ended up at CDLC. Knowing that the “Chef’s Menu (a […]
19. October 2014: Restaurant Puratapa
Again, the Restaurant Puratapa is probably not the place I would usually enter – but being a bit hung over from the day before and therefore starving quite much it was perfect to grab a sandwich on the go. And while at first I thought a sandwich with Jamon Iberico for EUR 7.50 is quite […]
19. October 2014: Restaurant Txapela
The Restaurant Txapela is not the place I would usually enter but as it was located pretty much right next to the appartment in Placa Catalunya I figured going for an “Espresso” (EUR 2.50) could not hurt. Well, the espresso was fine in taste, no question – but the waiter was incredibly unattentive. I had […]
18. October 2014: Eclipse @ W Barcelona
Somehow I always end up going to Eclipse at the W in Barcelona when I am in Barcelona – and I still understand why I do so. The view you have from there is breath-taking, even when it is dark and you don’t get to look that far. However, the place is still nice, the […]
18. October 2014: Restaurant Arume
The Restaurant Arume is ranked quite high on TripAdvisor – usually a more or less reliable source but I must admit, I was not fully satisfied after this experience. While when you enter the atmosphere is absolutely great as the entrance is small, there is a cozy bar and you feel like you are entering […]
