Good but on the pricier side: Restaurant DOX @ Hyatt Regency Düsseldorf (6. November 2018)
Somehow I end up quite frequently in the DOX these days – and that is besides the nice atmosphere and friendly service due to the quality of the dishes as well. The “sushi variation DOX (5 sashimi, 5 nigiri, 8 inside out)” (EUR 36.00) offers a nice selection of different little sushi type snacks. And […]
Swift lunch but limited food quality: Restaurant Da Nando (6. November 2018)
What I like about the Da Nando is the speed of the service – within a few minutes you’re served your “Insalata Caprese” (EUR 7.00) which was – despite the fact that it is not really the season for tomatoes – quite delicious. The “pizza salami with anchovies” (EUR 7.00) on the other hand wasn’t […]
Good steaks but overpriced side dishes: Restaurant Rocca im Gehry’s (5. November 2018)
The restaurant Rocca im Gehry’s has been recommended to me various times and finally it was time to give it a try. Once you are seated, you get not only bread and spread but also vegetables sticks which is quite a nice surprise. As a starter, I went for the “mozzarella di buffala with pealed […]
Lovely little hotel with decent breakfast: Restaurant Winery 29 @ The Alex Hotel (4. November 2018)
The breakfast buffet in the Winery 29 in The Alex hotel offers everything you need and want ranging from a selection of different teas … … to vegetables and yogurts … … jams and honey … … cold cuts and cheeses … … and last but not least eggs. What was missing in my opinion […]
The closest to real Mexican food in Europe so far: Restaurant Yepa Yepa (3. November 2018)
Given I have been a couple of times to Mexico I am always very skeptical when it comes to Mexican food but I am also always happy to be positively surprised. This was one of these nights where you would be positively surprised. Upon walking in I spotted that they had “Agua de Horchata” (EUR […]
Lovely hidden gem: Monkey Garden Bar (3. November 2018)
It is not easy to find the Monkey Garden bar as it is located in the back of a hiking store. Once you’ve found it though, it is worth staying there for a drink. The place is tiny but somehow very atmospheric as they manage to get the best out of the space. The service […]
Not sure if the food labels are correct here: Restaurant Tom’s (3. November 2018)
If you want to have food around 2pm in Freiburg im Breisgau this might actually be quite challenging. After unsuccessfully trying a couple of restaurants which had been recommended, it was finally time to give ‘Tom’s’ a shot. As a starter I went for the “hummus (chickpeas puree, baguette & olives)” (EUR 6.90) which was […]
Great lunch bargain with surprisingly good food: Restaurant Freizeit im HVB Club (2. November 2018)
Although I have spent quite some time in the vicinity of this restaurant, I never actually managed to pay a visit. Finally, it was time and I went for the “minute steak of beef, prepared on the grill, served with herb butter, French fries and salad” (EUR 9.40). And the menu even comes with a […]
