Amazing home-made Italian pasta: Ristorante All’ Olivella Wine ‘n’ Dine (10. September 2017)
The All’Olivella is ranked as one of the best restaurants in Palermo and when we got there, at first, I was thinking “what the hell” as it does not look like one of the best restaurants in Palermo. And while my sample is obviously very small, given I’ve only been there for approximately 36 hours, […]
Perfect place for breakfast in a busy street: Ruvolo Beer and Wine (10. September 2017)
What I love about Italy is the fact that you find a lovely café around every corner – and in Palermo there is one long street where kind of everything is going on. So upon walking by various cafés and not finding anything which fit, we finally found the Ruvolo Beer & Wine. Or to […]
Decent bar by the beach with weird rules: Nautoscopio (9. September 2017)
While wandering around in Palermo, we ended up by the beach at some point and there is something like a little club right next to the sea shore where you can sit outside, in the sand, and enjoy your drink there. I went for a “mojito” (EUR 6.00) which was decent in terms of how […]
Great little place for fresh seafood: Osteria Mercede (9. September 2017)
The Osteria Mercede is not only famous on TripAdvisor it is also very punctual (and yes, we’re talking about Italy here), opening exactly at 7pm. The place is quite small with maybe 10-15 tables and is easily booked out. When we arrived, a bunch of people were joining us queuing and only because we had […]
Nice place to be covered from the shade: Il Bar @ La Rinascente (9. September 2017)
When you arrive in Palermo after the 50 years anniversary of your company the previous night in Munich, you feel like sleeping, relaxing, sitting back, and not doing anything. Well, if you are arriving in Palermo meeting your friends from kindergarten, then things usually turn out differently than you had planned – after a “Francesino […]
Upgraded food offering compared to previous visits: Westin Executive Club @ The Westin Grand Munich (7. September 2017)
It is quite some time ago since I’ve had the time to eat something in the Westin Executive Club in the Westin Grand Munich – and while they’ve changed the menu shortly before I’ve left the Westin Grand (given I used to stay there for 14 months), I was actually never really in the Lounge […]
Good shisha but not much more: Diwan Shisha Lounge (6. September 2017)
The Langstrasse area usually is not my area – but given we were looking for a place to discuss some business matters over a shisha, the Diwan Shisha Lounge seemed like the perfect place. The interior is simple, not really that appealing but still comfortable and they offer great shishas (e.g. ‘double apple’ for CHF […]
Great dishes but confused service personnel: Restaurant Co Chin Chin (6. September 2017)
If you want to dine at the Restaurant Co Chin Chin, I can highly recommend you to book a table in advance – as even if you arrive there around 10pm, you will have to wait approximately 15-30 minutes until you get a table. Once you’re seated, incredibly friendly waitresses take care of you – […]
