6. September 2015: Restaurant Landmark @ Sheraton Austin
I am not sure what to write about the Restaurant Landmark in the Sheraton Austin. I am really torn between two extremes. When I called the reception to ask until when breakfast was served, I was informed that they serve it till midday. When I walked there 11:30am I was informed that the breakfast buffet […]
5. September 2015: Sheraton Club Lounge @ Sheraton Austin
As I forgot to take a picture of the Sheraton Club Lounge, I had to take one off the internet. And, unfortunately, it does not look like that anymore. I mean, it kind of does but it is as a matter of fact way older and more used than you can see in the picture. […]
4. September 2015: Rattle Inn Whiskey Lounge
A typical Texan bar – well, at least according to my by then very limited knowledge about Texas! I passed by the place in daylight but only paid it a visit in the evening. However, the place is generally nice, the drinks are fair, the prices as well. If you are looking for a typical […]
4. September 2015: Fado Irish Pub
The Fado Irish Pub really is an Irish pub and probably one of the only places where they showed soccer. The bar is atmospheric, loud, somehow just the way you imagine an Irish pub to be. The cider is good (i.e. B-Stella Cider, USD 5.00; Strongbow, USD 6.75). Frankly speaking, it is not an outstanding […]
4. September 2015: Restaurant Casino El Camino
The Restaurant Casino El Camino is among the best burger places in the US according to BusinessInsider UK, and I must admit that I understand why. But first things first. I passed by the place twice before I actually entered as it looks very run down from the outside and you don’t really feel like […]
3. September 2015: Inflight Menu ZRH – JFK (LX16)
The very moment you know you’ve been upgraded, you already start your flight in a mentally different state which led to me ordering a glass of red wine at 9:30am – without having had breakfast. Not the smartest start into the day so I only had water and tea for the rest of the flight. […]
2. September 2015: Restaurant El Agave
The “Queso fundido con chorizo” (CHF 10.90, respectively CHF 5.45 with EasyDining.ch) was not quite what I had expected. But when you read the menu it makes sense. Basically you get cheese with chorizo pieces and tortillas so you can build your own quesadillas. And while the portion is quite large, I must admit it […]
1. September 2015: Restaurant Yalla Habibi
Frankly, I would not have entered this premise if it wasn’t for a friend who dragged me along. Given he is quite a foodie, I thought I might give it a try. The place looks rather simple and really more like a food joint than anything else (I mean, it is a food joint …). […]
