A surprisingly Spanish experience: Restaurant 1700 (1. April 2016)
I passed by the 1700 on my way from the office to the hotel and it looked absolutely promising from outside so I decided to book a table for dinner. Upon arrival I was not so sure about the atmosphere anymore. Honestly, from the outside, it looked lovely but when you enter it, it really […]
A really Hamburg like dish – fish soup: Restaurant Daniel Wischer (1. April 2016)
If you are looking for a real dish from Hamburg, the “fish soup with seafood and baguette” (EUR 8.40) is definitely a good choice. Be aware though, if you take the “large portion”, you should not order any starter or dessert as the pot is quite huge (I am pretty sure it’s one litre, maybe […]
Great performance, not really that Spanish: Restaurant Casa Franco (31. March 2016)
Authentic Spanish experience is what you are looking for? Casa Franco is the wrong place! A fun experience where you get decent dishes for a fair price in a vivid atmosphere: Casa Franco is the right place! Once you are seated, hint: reservation highly recommended, you are served with “aioli, bread, and olives” and quite […]
A place to eat – if you must: Restaurant Commercianti (30. March 2016)
As the city center of Lugano does offer quite some choices but in the end the number of restaurants is still rather limited, I tried the Commercianti again after being too late (no food served after 10pm) the last time. We entered around 9:40pm and were told that they’d serve us, given we would order […]
Decent lunch and salad: Rookies (30. March 2016)
The last time I’ve paid the Rookies a visit, I went for an unhealthy burger, so I decided to try another part of the menu this time – the healthy part. The “Insalata San Diego (insalata, spinaci, pomodori cherry, filetto di pollo marinato in mojito drink, crostini di pane, salsa caesar, parmigiano)” (CHF 18.00) was […]
A true Aseri experience like in 1001 nights: Restaurant Sirvansah Muzey (27. March 2016)
While visiting the flame towers we were guided around by the receptionist of the Fairmont hotel upon request – and she was not only very kind but she also recommended us to try the Restaurant Sirvansah (which is also a museum). And as we originally had booked a restaurant (Zeytun) in the shopping mall due […]
Lovely atmosphere in the old city: Art Garden Restaurant (27. March 2016)
The Art Garden Restaurant is located not far from the Maiden Tower in the old city and looked lovely from outside when we passed by a couple of times – and finally we decided to have lunch there. The stuffed aubergines we had the night before somehow left a positive memory so we decided to […]
Amazing Aseri cuisine in central Baku: Restaurant Firuze (26. March 2016)
As obvious it is to see the restaurant from the Fountain Square, as difficult it is to find it if you do not have an exact address and every source I checked online provided me with different details. However, finally, I found it! When you go down the stairs which is the entrance to the […]
