27. November 2014: Restaurant Fehrenbach – das kleine Restaurant
According to TripAdvisor, the Restaurant Fehrenbach is among the best rated restaurants in Düsseldorf. And I must admit I do believe that. I went for the “Menu Lust” (EUR 67.00) which started with a “bacon plum, mashed potatoes and red cabbage soup” as an amuse bouche. These were quite strong aromas to start off but […]
26. November 2014: Restaurant Camino
It is almost 3 years ago since I have last been at the Camino – I have had good memories about back then, which is why, obviously, my expectations were kind of high. And luckily, they were not disappointed. The menu (CHF 95.00) started with “pulpo with bean purree” which sounded a bit odd at […]
24. November 2014: Restaurant Scent of Bamboo
The “Tom Kha Gai” (soup with chicken and coconut milk, CHF 4.50) was a fine start for lunch – rather simple in taste but actually quite aromatic. The “Pad Prik Gang with beef” (CHF 18.50, with vegetables, chili, and basil) had two main elements – first of all, it was very spicy, and secondly, the […]
22. November 2014: Restaurant Blu Mediteraneo
The Restaurant Blu Mediteraneo was recommended to me by a friend – and it was a great recommendation. You are allowed to pick any three courses for a mere EUR 33.00, no matter how much the course usually costs. And if you are willing to pay an additional EUR 14.00, you get the matching wine […]
22. November 2014: Die Sizilianerin
If you have never been to Italy or joined an Italian cooking class, you can get a great impression at “Die Sizilianerin” which is run by Laura. The concept is pretty easy – you get together as a group, there is a menu set and you prepare everything, from scratch, and then eat it at […]
20. November 2014: Ducktail’s – die Bar
It is about 2 years ago since I had spent a night at the Ducktail’s – die Bar in the Westin Grand Hotel but I must say quite a few things had changed since. First of all, a bottle of “Rosso di Montalcino, Castello Banfi” now accounts for EUR 54.00 instead of EUR 36.00. I […]
20. November 2014: Restaurant Hardhof
Although I think I have passed the place a hundred times at least by car, I never really realized that there was a restaurant which was worth trying. The Hardhof looks definitely not appealing from the outside but once you enter the place, you are welcomed by a great and warm atmosphere. I was taken […]
18. November 2014: Restaurant Maison Manesse
The moment I sat down I figured that it is way too long ago since I have been at the Restaurant Maison Manesse. The dinner started with a small amuse bouche from the kitchen – “Sezchuan flower head”. You might wonder why one would eat something like that and how it tastes – frankly: go, […]
