A rather average club lounge: Sheraton Club Lounge @ Sheraton Grand Esplanade Berlin (19. August 2017)
When it comes to SPG club lounges, the quality and the variety of the food offered is quite different depending on where you are. The Sheraton Club Lounge at the Sheraton Grand Esplanade is one of the more disappointing ones as the breakfast selection is really rather limited. It ranges from some cold cuts and […]
Not only good for breakfast but also for lunch: Restaurant Café Einstein (21. August 2017)
About 9 months ago, I’ve enjoyed breakfast at the Café Einstein and this time I decided to give it a try for lunch. And it was actually a good decision. In summer, you can sit outside in the little garden they have in the back and the service is rather quick and friendly so my […]
A truly unique Italian experience where you wouldn’t expect it: Restaurant Grottino 1313 (16. August 2017)
Probably for more than three years I was trying to pay the Restaurant Grottino 1313 a visit but never actually made it. Finally, it was time to do so. When the weather is nice, you’re seated in a small but lovely decorated garden and shortly after you’ve taken your seat, you are served “salame and […]
Great for a brief snack: Restaurant Peperoncini (16. August 2017)
Sometimes, things happen out of a ‘pure need’. This time for example, I haven’t been eating anything the whole day until 2pm and before I was able to get to the next appointment, I desperately had to eat something so I ended up in the Peperoncini as it was close to my next appointment. And […]
Perfect brunch and breakfast place on three floors: Restaurant CT coffee & coconuts (13. August 2017)
While I was a bit skeptical at first to visit a place for brunch which is called coffee & coconuts, it turned out to be a great choice. Given the night before (context: bachelorette party) was a bit rough, I felt like having quite something and went for the “Kogi BBQ Taco (short rib, salsa […]
Amazing view all over the city of Amsterdam: Restaurant Madam @ A’DAM Tower (12. August 2017)
Independently of the fact if you decide to dine at the Restaurant Madam, you should definitely pay the A’DAM Tower a visit as the view from above onto the city of Amsterdam is absolutely amazing and definitely worth seeing. Once you’re seated – and it is absolutely recommendable to book a table in advance (especially […]
Not worth visiting for the food but for the atmosphere: Far Out Beach Club (12. August 2017)
As the name already suggests, the “Far Out Beach Club” is quite far out from Amsterdam. Or more specifically, about an 80 EUR ride from the city centre. And while I was a bit annoyed at first, I must admit that it was actually quite a pleasant place to visit. The restaurant was almost empty […]
A patient Italian who can work on friendliness: Restaurant La Maschera del Lillo Tatini (11. August 2017)
When you’re late you start with the main course and skip the starters. The “stewed beef, cooked for 4 hours into Sangiovese red wine, black pepper, rosemary, and sage with side of potatoes tart” did not look too appealing when served but the meat was tender, smooth and rich in flavour. The potato tart on […]
