The perfect way for a short or long stop-over: Lufthansa First Class Lounge B (18. August 2018)
I start to understand why people would actually pay a lot of money to fly First Class. When you are picked up from the airplane directly and brought to the lounge and the whole thing takes you around 7 minutes instead of like 30 to 45 (as it usually does in Frankfurt), then this is […]
The best way to start a long-haul trip: SWISS First Class Lounge A (18. August 2018)
The SWISS First Class Lounge is an experience of its own – especially since you get a super fast security check making traveling as hassle free as you can potentially imagine. Within 30 seconds, I was through and in the lounge. The place itself is rather small to be honest but it is functional and […]
Lovely view but incredibly overprized meals: Restaurant Hide & Seek @ Atlantis by Giardino (15. August 2018)
I was at the Hide & Seek about a year ago and decided to give it another shot – and the evening started with a “melon chili shot” as a first greeting from the kitchen which was refreshing on the one hand side and had a nice hint of spiciness on the other hand side. […]
Perfectly swift lunch offering: Restaurant MASI Wine Bar (15. August 2018)
It is a couple of weeks ago since I’ve last been to the MASI wine bar but it is always a good place for lunch – especially since they have varying menus on a daily basis plus they are swift! I went for the “cold melon soup” as a starter which was nice as it […]
Average at best – definitely not ‘max’: Restaurant max @ Courtyard by Marriott Pratteln (13. August 2018)
Given, I kinda liked the “tomato soup” (CHF 8.00) last time, I decided to go for it again. And it is still good, and even though the whipped cream wasn’t applied as generously as last time, it is still completely unnecessary. The “bistro burger (100% beef, bacon, cheddar, salad, tomato, caramelized onions, brioche bun) served […]
The best shisha in Europe so far: White Lounge Shisha Bar (11. August 2018)
I haven’t really been able to find a good shisha place in Europe since my Middle East experience – but finally Berlin is the place where I found shisha heaven in Europe. They serve shisha with a fruit head, so I I went for “Shisha with Orange Head” (EUR 16.50) and it was a great […]
Picturesque garden with a serious wasp problem: Restaurant Heinrich’s Schlossheuriger (11. August 2018)
There is not much around Schloss Charlottenburg but the Heinrich’s Schlossheuriger is one of the places which you find there and it is quite lovely. The “chanterelle cream soup” (EUR 5.50) was fine, had nice chunks of mushroom in it and was just generally tasty. The “black pudding with apple and onion confit, cream sauerkraut, […]
Decent place in a homey restaurant: Restaurant Heimelig (9. August 2018)
The ‘Heimelig’ (which means ‘homey’ in English) is apparently one of the better restaurants in the area. And admittedly, it is definitely a nice place. As it is porcini season, I went for the “fresh porcini” (CHF 22.00) which were delicious in flavour. But paying CHF 22.00 for basically one porcini just seems overpriced to […]
