Tasty lunch if you are patient: Restaurant Sala of Tokyo (25. May 2016)
The Sala of Tokyo has been recommended to me a couple of times but so far I never managed to actually go there. However, finally it was the time to pay the restaurant a visit. The entrance to the restaurant doesn’t really jump your eyes as it s advertised very decently. Once you enter, you […]
Lovely breakfast buffet for Sunday brunch: Tee Tea Thé (22. May 2016)
I was a bit worried when my friend suggested to have breakfast at a place which is called “tea” (in three different languages). However, my skepticism was unfounded. For a mere EUR 14.90 you get to pick your breakfast plus as much tea as you want from the breakfast buffet … … which offers basically […]
Outstanding drinks while watching the depressing return of the BVB team: Harry’s New York Bar @ Sheraton Grand Esplanade Hotel (21. May 2016)
In order to finalize the evening, the decision was taken to enjoy a drink or two at the hotel bar, the Harry’s New York Bar (which is apparently the oldest hotel bar according to their own statement). The drinks they serve seem to vary a bit in “quality”. While I had a “Lemongrass Mojito” (EUR […]
Non-alcoholic Shisha place to relax: Xara Café Lounge (21. May 2016)
On our way to the restaurant Hasir, we smelled shisha fumes and decided to enjoy a shisha after dinner. However, we had no clue where to go but google pointed us in the right direction that there was basically a shisha bar right across the street of the restaurant. The Xara Café Lounge. What I […]
Great Turkish food @ Hasir Restaurant (21. May 2016)
The Hasir was recommended to me by a friend and as I haven’t had Turkish food since I last was to Istanbul two years ago (besides the quick stop-over from Baku via Istanbul two months ago), I was quite looking forward to it. And I started with a non-Turkish dish, “humus” (EUR 5.50) which was […]
New Sheraton Club Lounge @ Sheraton Grand Hotel Berlin Esplanade (21. May 2016)
Since I was here in December last year, they have renovated and extended the restaurant substantially – which includes the opening of a Sheraton Club Lounge. The lounge is located after the actual restaurant and is lovely. It is very calm (which was amazing as they were a lot of BVB fans at the hotel, […]
Lovely wine bar: Lutter & Wegner Gendarmenmarkt (20. May 2016)
The Lutter & Wegner wine bar is located basically right across the street of my office – and I never saw this place until this day. And it is actually quite nice – the interior is very traditional (it actually doesn’t look as new in real life as it does in the picture below) but […]
German cuisine – but a sophisticated version: Restaurant Rotisserie WeinGrün (20. May 2016)
When approaching the Restaurant WeinGrün you can see the “Chaîne des Rôtisseurs” logo from afar. As I was not aware that the restaurant was part of the Chaîne when booking a table I was already positively surprised by that fact. Upon entering the restaurant you feel like really comfortable – like in a place where […]
