Nice vegetarian restaurant close to the main station: Restaurant Hiltl Sihlpost (1. July 2016)
Given my recent “incident” is forbidding me to eat meat for some time (gout in my toe), I decided to give the Hiltl another try. I have been to the restaurant close to Globus a couple of years ago and it was way too expensive for what you get. Given lack of options, I went […]
Lovely flavour combinations – not fully satisfactory though: Restaurant Pure White (24. June 2016)
The Pure White was recommended to me and I must admit it was a good recommendation. I started with the very tempting “Amore Mio – goose liver prepared on Josper’s grill, mango sorbet, sherry, mango tagliatelle” (EUR 19.50). The goose liver was basically melting in my mouth like butter and the combination of the fattiness […]
Great view from the Regency Club @ Hyatt Regency Cologne (24. June 2016)
What is actually quite amazing about the Executive Lounge in the Hyatt Regency is the view you have onto the “Cathedral of Cologne”. Especially when the weather is nice, it is kind of perfect to sit at one of the tables to enjoy the view. The selection of dishes you get to pick from for […]
Simple and tasty dishes for lunch: Restaurant Quan Do (24. June 2016)
The “Bun Bó with lemon grass, beef, and peanuts” (EUR 7.90) is an interesting dish. While it looks quite nice and actually the ingredients themselves are tasty too, the liquid which is served with it and then poured over the dish kind of makes it taste funny. For me personally, the taste is too much […]
All you can eat sushi: Restaurant kofookoo (19. June 2016)
The “All you can eat Dinner selection” (EUR 25.90) is really a bargain. The concept works pretty simple. You get a tablet and have a total of approximately two hours time to order every 10 minutes max. 5 dishes. And it addresses food waste too because everything you won’t be able to eat, you will […]
Absolutely great food with a view on Hamburg: Restaurant CLOUDS (18. June 2016)
You know when everything is going good, then things turn bad and your mood is ruined, you are pissed – and then they somehow manage to get things right again and your mood is back to great? Well, this was the case at the CLOUDS. We were seated at a lovely table, the waitress, Isabelle, […]
Great roof-top bar: heaven’s nest (18. June 2016)
When you are in Hamburg you definitely have to pay a visit to Reeperbahn – the place where ropes were made originally and now is basically an entertainment and red light district. Well, there is not only that there but also places like the “heaven’s nest” which is a roof top bar with a great […]
Beach like place for drinks: Hamburg del Mar (18. June 2016)
While walking along the seaside (respectively the port channel) we came across a place called Hamburg del Mar which looked absolutely lovely – so we went there to have a refreshing drink. While I have seen a couple of “beach like bars”, the Hamburg del Mar actually makes it really work. Well, to be fair, […]
