After all these years, still a very solid location for a great start into the day: Restaurant ZEN @ The Westin Grand Munich (2. November 2018)
Whenever I am in Munich I try to stay at the Westin, not only because I used to basically live there for 14 months back in 2011/2012 but also because the Restaurant ZEN offers quite an amazing breakfast deal starting from Asian rice dishes … … over to the regular European mushrooms and tomatoes … […]
Decent but overpriced for lunch: Restaurant VLET an der Alster (1. November 2018)
‘Pannfisch’ is a rather typical dish from Hamburg – and it is basically fried fish. I went for the “Pannfisch ‘Hamburger Jung’, served with dip, mashed potatoes and cream spinach)” (EUR 24.00). The dish was okay in terms of taste and flavour – however, given it was EUR 24.00 I think it is quite a […]
Functional lounge but not really worth spending time in: Executive Lounge @ Marriott Hamburg Hotel (1. November 2018)
The executive lounge in the Marriott Hamburg hotel is overall quite decent – and definitely better than expected. The selection of different things to have for breakfast is actually surprisingly good starting with cheeses, cold cuts and salmon … … a variety of different breads and scrambled eggs … … as well as all the […]
Lovely place for Japanese dishes – on the pricier side though: Restaurant JIN GUI @ Tortue (31. October 2018)
The JIN GUI is located in the Tortue Hotel which looks generally quite appealing when you enter it. The place isn’t huge really but has – besides the dining area – a nice bar. Once you’re seated and have received your menu, some “cucumbers” are brought to your table as a starter. I went for […]
Swift lunch after 2pm: Restaurant *hirschchen (31. October 2018)
While at our very first visit the time until the dishes were served were definitely far beyond acceptable, the speed definitely improved ever since. I suppose this is also connected to the fact that we went for lunch at around 2pm plus they didn’t have to serve the tables outside (as the weather was bad). […]
Delicious flank steak in a nice atmosphere: Restaurant DOX @ Hyatt Regency Düsseldorf (30. October 2018)
While it took me more than 3 weeks to visit the place, I ended up in the same place twice within 24 hours. Today it was time for the “US prime beef flank steak (250gr)” (EUR 33.00) with a “herb salad with croûtons” (EUR 6.00) and “herb butter” (EUR 4.00). The flank steak was rather […]
You get what the name promises: Restaurant Soups & Salads (30. October 2018)
The selection of dishes you get in the “Soups & Salads” is limited but it is also offering exactly what the name suggests – soups and salads. However, today something more was on the menu, so I went for the “Chili Con Carne” (EUR 6.50) and had a “Greek Salad” (EUR 4.50) as a side […]
Nice atmosphere with sufficient privacy: Restaurant DOX @ Hyatt Regency Düsseldorf (29. October 2018)
Somehow I haven’t managed so far to pay a visit to the restaurant in the Hyatt but finally it was time to do that. The “hand-cut beef tatar with herb salat, créme fraîche and traditional bread)” (EUR 19.00) was good as the beef was tasty, the cut was rather junky and the combination with the […]
