Good food in a surprising location: Restaurant Time Out (23. November 2016)
Somehow I wanted to pay a visit to the Restaurant Time Out a couple of months ago but figured it was only open till 9pm (usually) back then so I ended up not dining there. However, given it was among the top 20 restaurants in Zurich on TripAdvisor, I decided to give it another shot […]
This place seems to become my regular go to place: Restaurant Yamas (22. November 2016)
Every time I visit the Yamas I am trying to find a dish I haven’t tried before – and today it was the “Bruschetta with smoked trout with tarama (which is a Greek pulp made of salted fish roe)” (CHF 16.00). The pulp on the bruschetta is smooth and aromatic and despite the fish taste […]
Decent Italian dinner in Zurich: Restaurant Da Angela (21. November 2016)
When you are seated – even before you actually got the menu – you are being served “bruschetta with some green Italian vegetables and salami” which is definitely a nice little tickling of your taste buds before the actual menu. As a starter I went for the daily soup which, today, was a “porcini soup” […]
Decent hotel burger: Lounge @ Hyatt Regency Düsseldorf (18. November 2016)
If you are hungry after midnight, the Lounge at the Hyatt Düsseldorf is a good place to enjoy a hearty burger. I went for the “Hyatt Beef Burger (minced meat, sesame bun, burger sauce, salad, tomato, cornichons, red onion)” (EUR 16.00) which was served with French fries. The burger was delicious but the buns were […]
DIY breakfast: Breakfast area @ aloft Munich (18. November 2016)
My first stay at an aloft ever – and I must admit that I was very positively surprised by the rooms and the general design of the hotel. What was not so much to my liking though was the “DIY breakfast”. I get it that the aloft is the hip young hotel type and ‘serving’ […]
Tasty dishes but a bit too loud: Restaurant Box-Kitchen (17. November 2016)
I visited the same premise a bit more than five years ago, when the restaurant was called salt. It is not longer called ‘salt’ anymore but Box-Kitchen as they combine both – a gym and a restaurant. The restaurant looks layout-wise pretty much the same as the Restaurant Salt looked. The interior decoration is a […]
Great dinner experience with Tastier: Restaurant Die Rüsterei (16. November 2016)
I was at Die Rüsterei before – but only for lunch and only this evening I figured that Die Rüsterei is actually divided in two parts. The simpler burger part and the fine dining part. And while last time I was at the burger part, it was now time for the fine dining part. I […]
Quick business lunch but too expensive this time: Restaurant Loft Five (16. November 2016)
The lunch menu at the Loft Five is perfect because it is served within no time and usually you get a very good price performance. While today the menu was served within a decent time frame and was fine in terms of quality, it was just a bit too standard for CHF 28.00 for my […]
