Good and swift lunch offering: Restaurant MASI Wine Bar (11. October 2017)
The “small mixed salad” (CHF 6.00) was decent as it was not the ordinary assembly of green leaf salad but spiked a bit with carrots. However, as the salad was displayed on the menu as part of the ‘lunch menu’, I consider CHF 6.00 rather expensive for a lunch salad. I went for the “Scaloppina […]
A great lunch offering: Restaurant O’Premier (9. October 2017)
Although I have spent quite some time of my life in St. Gallen, I was never aware that there is a restaurant on the first floor of the Hotel Metropol. And not only, that there is a restaurant but actually quite a good one. The lunch menu (CHF 38.00) started with a “chestnut cream soup” […]
Quite decent ice cream in central Prague: Amorino Prague (8. October 2017)
It is quite some time ago since I have been to Amorino last time. And even though the weather wasn’t entirely perfect in Prague, i.e. it was quite cold, there is always time for an ice cream. I went for the “large cup” (150 CZK). And the good thing is that you actually get to […]
Lovely delicacy shop with a restaurant part: Restaurant La Bottega Gastronomica (8. October 2017)
The “tomato soup with mozzarella Nodino and basil oil” (95 CZK) was quite thick and intense but the mozzarella balls didn’t really add anything to the experience as the mozzarella was not really melting but was rather plastic like balls in the soup. The croutons which were served separately really added to the experience though. […]
A former monastery turned into a bar: Refectory Bar @ Augustine, a Luxury Collection Hotel (7. October 2017)
The Augustine, a Luxury Collection hotel is a former monastery and is, therefore, quite spacious and has impressive rooms. This is also true for the hotel bar – the Refectory Bar. It is located in a lovely surrounding, the rooms are incredibly tall, and you do feel quite royal somehow. But there is one thing […]
Sometimes ‘less is more’ – quite overrated: Restaurant Café de Paris (7. October 2017)
The restaurant Café de Paris has been recommended by the book “Where the chefs eat” which has been quite a reliable source of great places to eat at. The book / app had recommended to have the Entrecôte Café de Paris, so I was naturally interested how it was going to taste. I had called […]
Amazing experience with breath-taking view over Prague: Restaurant Terasa U Zlaté Studně (7. October 2017)
We were wondering around the city rather randomly having nothing planned for lunch and one of these city guides recommended the Terasa U Zlaté Studně because of its view and given nothing decent was in our immediate vicinity we undertook the short walk and ended up there. You have to get up the hill a […]
Exquisite breakfast selection: Augustine Restaurant @ Augustine, a Luxury Collection Hotel (7. – 8. October 2017)
I am a huge fan of A Luxury Collection hotels – be it the Bristol in Vienna or the Bristol in Warsaw to name just a few – you can be sure you’ll have a great experience. Not only because the ‘Studio Suite’ upgrade really made it the perfect place to spend the weekend but […]
