Outstanding dishes where you wouldn’t expect them: Restaurant Al Pont de Ferr (10. September 2016)
While I was a student in Milan some years ago, I was definitely not aware that the Navigli had fancy restaurants – well, despite the fact that it does not really look much fancy from the outside, the dishes were actually great. After having placed the order, they served a small amuse bouche as a […]
Lovely natural ice cream flavours: Gelateria Grom (10. September 2016)
We originally wanted to pay our back then favourite ice cream store, Cioccolati Italiani, a visit! However, as it was closed due to renovation (respectively “preparing itself for the future”), we ended up going to Grom. I always liked Grom but was never an explicit fan. However, I must say if you get “Caramelo al […]
Amazing coffee place – with some ice cream: Gelateria Toldo (10. September 2016)
One of the loveliest places to have a double espresso in style I have been to! While you would not necessarily expect to find a small gem when walking by as the outside of the place does not look too appealing, the inside is totally different. The Gelateria Toldo is also a small bakery which […]
Great Italian lunch: Restaurant Convivium (10. September 2016)
If you want to have late lunch it is not always that easy to find something where you can still get a proper meal around 2pm. Luckily, we encountered a place where this was still possible. The restaurant was very welcoming and seated us at a nice table. Shortly after being seated we received a […]
Very touristic place with dull food: Caffé Mercanti (10. September 2016)
The moment when you end up in the most touristic place ever – and still kind of wonder why the food you’ve ordered tastes like absolutely nothing. Well, if you are starving and are ready to pay way more than you normally would be ready to pay, the Caffé Mercanti is the place to go. […]
Fancy Italian restaurant – but a bit remote: Restaurant Da Vic (9. September 2016)
If you want a perfect starter for a relaxing and nice dinner, the “zucchini flowers filled with ricotta cheese” (EUR 16.00) are definitely the right choice. The waiter made it clear that half a portion was absolutely sufficient and while that is true to the degree that you will definitely have too much to eat […]
Lovely quick lunch: Restaurant Porzellan (9. September 2016)
The lunch offer at the Restaurant Porzellan is simple but you get an amazing performance for the price. Today, they offered “parsley cream soup” as a starter – which was rich in parsley flavour (surprise, surprise!). Secondly, the portion was also quite large. The main course was a “hake filet with colourful artichoke, bell pepper, […]
Simple but lovely: Restaurant Ulrich (8. September 2016)
While not located very centrally, the Restaurant Ulrich is in walking distance of the Ring and, therefore, relatively easily accessible. The waitress was at our table within minutes and the order of the beverages (Vöslauer Mineral, 0,75L, sparkling, EUR 4.70 and a glass of Gelber Muskateller, 1/8L, EUR 5.50) was executed almost immediately. I went […]
