25. April 2015: Restaurant Onda Sea
The Restaurant Onda Sea was recommended in one of my favourite books – “Where the Chefs Eat“. And I must say, once again, I was not disappointed. You have to pre-book the 7 course menu (995 NOK) which is not exactly on the cheap side but absolutely worth booking. The late lunch started with “Swedish […]
25. April 2015: Restaurant Stormkjøkkenet
It was raining cats and dogs that day – so taking a short break from everything, and especially the rain, seemed like a good idea so we entered the first place we saw when we decided to do so. And it was quite a lucky shot! The Stormkjøkkenet restaurant was not really open at 11am […]
25. April 2015: Restaurant Brasseriet @ Radisson Blu Scandinavia
Breakfast at the Restaurant Brasseriet in the Radisson Blu Scandinavia hotel is easy to describe: no thank you! The restaurant is not really a restaurant but more like one of these American-like superlarge dining halls which have no personality, no service, no anything! The picture is from the homepage of the hotel where it looks […]
24. April 2015: Restaurant Lorry
My first impression of Norwegian cuisine after a solid 15 years was a mixed one. The restaurant had been recommended to me by the hotel and I thought I should give it a shot. The “reindeerburgers with lingonberries and a creamy gamesauce” (198 NOK) were not really burgers as I had expected them but more […]
23. April 2015: Restaurant Zenzakan – Pan Asian Supperclub
I had been recommended the Restaurant Zenzakan the previous evening in Zurich and I must admit despite the fact that it is located right around the corner of my office in Frankfurt, I never managed to go there. It is worth a visit though. The “Robata Izakaya Kushi Yaki (mixed dishes from the Robata charcoal […]
21. April 2015: Restaurant Island Ceylon
The Restaurant Island Ceylon is an absolutely lovely place. It is a bit hidden and not located on any of the main streets but it is worth the short walk. The interior is simple but very cozy – you can absolutely feel that the place is run by a family and you feel respectively comfortable. […]
20. April 2015: Restaurant Nagasui
I have just been recommended the Nagasui the previous evening and thought I must give it a try. The “chips” which were served instead of bread were definitely a good start. There is a dish on the menu, called “Try Me – The Joy of Sharing” where you get to choose two starters and three […]
19. April 2015: Restaurant Key West
I guess it was the first time I actually made it to a restaurant which is part of the “Goldener Fisch” and I must admit I was not entirely satisfied. The “gamba” as an amuse bouche is definitely a nice gesture but the gamba was way too dry to be fully enjoyable. I went for […]
