3. April 2015: Restaurant AZIA
Given it belong to the best ranked restaurants in St. Petersburg according to TripAdvisor I thought we should give the restaurant AZIA a try – but frankly speaking, it was a bit of a disappointment. I mean, obviously it’s one’s own fault if you are trying to have Asian food while in Russia but still […]
2. April 2015: Café @ Mariinsky II Theatre
I am not a big fan of caviar but visiting the “Le Corsaire” ballet in the Mariinsky II Theatre in St. Petersburg and watching all the Russian ladies around enjoying “Red Caviar Sandwich” (390 RUB) with “Kir Royal” (0,15L, 350 RUB) I just had to go for it … … and I must say that […]
30. March 2015: Restaurant Köchlistube
If you are looking for real traditional Swiss food, you should definitely pay the Restaurant Köchlistube a visit. As a starter I went for the “cervelat salad with onions, pickles and cheese on leaf salad” (CHF 15.00 + CHF 2.00 extra for the cheese). I had asked for a small portion as I wanted a […]
29. March 2015: 108 Brasserie – Bar & Grill
So far I have not been a huge fan of smoothies but what I had at the 108 Brasserie was definitely kind of an eye-opener. I went for the “Vine (celery, cucumber, apples, spinach, lime, mint, avocado) medium size” (GBP 7.50) which did not look too appealing at first but I must admit it was […]
29. March 2015: Restaurant Aubaine
The “fresh fruit salad” (GBP 8.50) is a nice selection of various fresh fruit but frankly speaking it is a bit of a rip-off given the size of the actual fruit salad. However, the fruits were fresh and tasty. As a beverage, I went for the “Tea Vert Fuji-Yama” (GBP 4.40) which was fresh and […]
29. March 2015: Restaurant The Providores and Tapa Room
It is approximately 3 years ago since I’ve last been at The Providores and Tapa Room but I have a vivid memory of it and already liked it very much back then. This time it was time for brunch so I went for some heavy breakfast, British style, and had “Turkish eggs from Changa restaurant […]
28. March 2015: Restaurant City Social
The evening started with “The Root of All Evil (Walnut rum, sour apple, poire william, lime juice, root beer, finest silver, mad paper)” (GBP 12.00) which was a lovely but quite strong drink. The only thing disturbing was the paper straw as it got wet quite easily and it felt after some time as if […]
27. March 2015: Restaurant Mainnizza
The “beef tatar classical (100gr) to prepare by yourself, freshly cut with 12 ingredients on the etagère, bread and butter” (EUR 14.50). The beef tatar was definitely good – cut quite roughly but good in taste. What was actually missing though were the 12 ingredients on the etagère which was a bit of a disappointment […]
