A unique experience in an amazing setting: Restaurant La Rôtisserie (13. November 2018)
Although the La Rôtisserie is really around the corner, I somehow haven’t managed to pay the place a visit so far. You are welcomed at the entrance very friendly and caring and are brought to your table within no time. Once seated, you’re served “bread and butter” which is rather standard in taste. After taking […]
Decent but relatively pricey lunch offering: Restaurant Stricker’s Kehr Wieder Spitze (12. November 2018)
When entering the restaurant I was a bit surprised as it looked super small. However, what I did not know was the fact that the restaurant has a second floor. On the second floor you have a nice view over the harbor of Hamburg. What is a bit unlucky in terms of design is the […]
Good breakfast if you’re there anyway: Restaurant @ Hotel Heiden (11. November 2018)
Given you only pay CHF 7.00 for the breakfast buffet, the Restaurant in the Hotel Heiden offers a really decent selection of dishes starting from salmon and smoked trout … … to a variety of cold cuts … … and fresh fruit … … and even more fresh fruit … … a little selection of […]
Spectacular wine cellar but overpriced truffle experience: Restaurant zum Gupf (10. November 2018)
One year ago I had booked the table in the Gupf – and that was absolutely necessary as the place was very full again. The evening started with “curry butter, Gupf butter refined with sour cream, and beet root grissini”. The grissini were interesting in taste but a bit too hard for my personal gusto. […]
Perfect place for a quick pitstop on a hike to Forstseeli: Restaurant Eggli (10. November 2018)
This November weekend was so perfectly warm it would kind of invite you to go hiking and the Forstseeli in Appenzell is a lovely place to go. The description of the trail kind of said that there were four restaurants along the way. Frankly speaking though, there was just one, the Eggli – and it […]
Good but nothing outstanding really: Restaurant 50 zu 5 (8. November 2018)
The “50 zu 5” is a pop-up which is up until the end of the year – so two more months to go and a solid three months in total. You get to pick from a rather small card between five dishes and two desserts. Alternatively, you take “tasting menu” (CHF 85.00) which includes all […]
Swift lunch offering with decent food: Restaurant *hirschchen (8. November 2018)
The *hirschchen is a safe bet for a swift and simple lunch. And it is worth visiting on a Thursday as Thursday is schnitzel day! What usually costs around EUR 13.00 – EUR 14.00 is available for only EUR 8.90 on Thursdays – “breaded pork schnitzel with pepper sauce and French fries” (EUR 8.90). At […]
Weak starter, lovely main dish: Restaurant DOX @ Hyatt Regency Düsseldorf (7. November 2018)
Once more I ended up in the DOX trying to get something off the menu I haven’t tried yet, so I went for the “caesar salad (parmesan, bacon, croûtons)” (EUR 12.00) which was mainly sauce. I mean, the ingredients were there as promised but if you look at it in a bit more detail, it […]
