Tasty pulled pork burger: Restaurant Equinox @ Renaissance Tower Hotel (20. October 2016)
I passed by the Equinox before but never actually had a dinner here. However, as my friend was staying at the hotel, we decided to have dinner here – and I was quite positively surprised. The Equinox itself is a bit dark, i.e. the lights are a bit too dimmed for my personal gusto, however, […]
Great game dishes and outstanding wine cellar: Restaurant Caduff’s Wineloft (20. October 2016)
It is quite some years ago since I have paid the Caduff’s Wineloft a visit but I do remember the outstanding wine cellar they have. And it is still as great as back then. However, let’s start with the beginning. The “cheese leek quiche” as a starter was lovely but it could have been a […]
Great business lunch: Restaurant Gustav (19. October 2016)
The lunch menu is quite a bargain for Zurich standards with CHF 41.00 for two courses. Not exactly cheap, admittedly, however, for what you get it is absolutely okay. The “lentil salad (root vegetables, porcini confit, croutons)” was a great combination of different flavours and textures which jointly made for an outstanding dish. The “breast […]
Fine breakfast: Restaurant My Place @ Element Amsterdam (16. October 2016)
The breakfast selection at the Restaurant My Place at the Element Amsterdam is rather limited and it is very much self-service oriented. Something I am not used to from SPG hotels. However, after the second day you are kind of used to it, so it is fine. You have to get everything, plate including knife […]
Nice audience but mediocre DJ: Jimmy Woo Club (15. October 2016)
According to one of my friends who used to go out in Amsterdam quite often, Jimmy Woo was the place to be. Well, turns out that this is maybe not so true anymore. It was already not really easy to get in as apparently it is still perceived as this fancy good club but after […]
Amazing industrial chic: Restaurant Hotel de Goudfazant (15. October 2016)
Sometimes you find real hidden gems in locations you would never go to if nobody pointed you in exactly that direction. The Hotel de Goudfazant is such a case! It is located in a former factory which still has its industrial chic and it is located on the other side of the channel which divides […]
Asian dishes with an unfriendly waiter: Restaurant Wagamama (15. October 2016)
It is quite some time ago since I have been at a Wagamama – and I kind of remember why I do not go there usually. However, given a good friend wanted to go there, we ended up in the Wagamama. Well, the problem was that the waiter who was receiving us was being an […]
When the peak is reached with the first course: Restaurant RIJKS (14. October 2016)
The RIJKS is located in the Rijksmuseum, respectively right next to it. It is recommended to book a table way in advance as the place is very crowded in the evening – and even if you book the table for 9pm (as we did), you would still end up waiting at the bar until your […]
