Perfect arrival spot: Paul and Shark Café (16. July 2016)
My arrival on the island was lovely as the first thing I did was to sit down at the café right next to the port and enjoy a so called “Espresso Freddo”. Now, I was absolutely unaware that coffee is quite a big thing in Greece. It comes in all different types and forms – […]
Decent breakfast: Magenta Restaurant @ Fresh Hotel Athens (16. July 2016)
While my night was not the best given the walls are paper-thin and in the room next to me a very loud and annoying family was residing, the breakfast was a positive surprise. The waitress was incredibly friendly and the selection was much more promising than I had expected. There were a couple of cold […]
Greek restaurant family-run by Maria: Restaurant Karamanlidika (15. July 2016)
The Karamanlidika has been recommended to me by the Fresh Hotel I had spent the night at and it was a great recommendation. It is within walking distance and honestly speaking you would never go there unless you know where exactly the restaurant is located as the area is a bit sketchy. However, once you […]
Great lunch selection: Restaurant Razzia (15. July 2016)
The business lunch (CHF 32.00) is a good choice with an incredibly fair price performance ratio – the “cold carrot orange soup” was refreshing and a good start to activate your palate. The “zander filet with chervil foam on a fennel bed with potato goulash” looked quite dull but was actually a nice combination of […]
Limited vegetarian selection: Restaurant Landgasthof Leuen (10. July 2016)
Being vegetarian is not always easy, I started to realize. Not that I will become a vegetarian but I realized that sometimes it is quite difficult to find something on the menu which is vegetarian. Luckily, there are a few dishes – and I went for “beet root carpaccio with feta cheese and chestnuts” (CHF […]
Proper Italian business lunch: Restaurant La Piazzetta (8. July 2016)
I walked by the La Piazzetta so many times but somehow never ended up having lunch or dinner there. Finally, it was the time to enjoy lunch there. There is a lunch menu which is decent in price but it was not to my liking today – so I went à la carte. The “Insalata […]
Simple but good business lunch: Restaurant Loft Five (5. July 2016)
The 15-minutes-lunch-menu again – today it was a “cold cucumber sour cream soup” and a “sausage cheese salad” (CHF 27.00). The soup was lovely and the sausage cheese salad was quite fine too. What was a “first” for me though was the dessert – usually it’s a salad but today it was a “scoop of […]
Perfect business lunch within 15 minutes: Restaurant Loft Five (4. July 2016)
Given the proximity to my current place of work, the Loft Five is somewhat ideal distance-wise. But not only due to that but also because they have understood something perfectly – when you are working and are stuck the whole day in meetings, there is not too much time you can spend for lunch, so […]
