Good lunch offering for a fair price: Restaurant Le Rendez Vous (21. November 2019)
Somehow I have never even heard of the Le Rendez Vous before but it turned out to be quite a nice place. It is rather crowded for lunch and has specialized in business lunches so the service knows what they are doing in terms of speed of service and friendliness. I went for the “pizza […]
When the service is beyond doubt – amazing experience: Restaurant Mammertsberg (20. November 2019)
The Restaurant Mammertsberg was on my to do list for quite some time! And my sister finally persuaded me to try a place in the context of the “Nespresso Gourmet Week” and we went for the respective “Tasting Menu” (CHF 120.00). When you enter you’re welcomed in a very friendly way and brought up to […]
Not only good for dinner but also great for lunch: Restaurant netts Schützengarten (19. November 2019)
So far, I have only tried the netts for dinners – finally, it was time to give it a shot for lunch and I must say – despite the fact that the prices are at the upper end of what I consider acceptable – the food is great and the service is lovely. I went […]
Lovely alternative lunch offering in St. Gallen: Restaurant The Pinch (18. November 2019)
Although I have passed The Pinch quite a couple of times, I have never realized it is actually a restaurant when passing. Today was the time to give it a try. I went for the “soup of the day” which was a nice portion in size but also in terms of taste. The “white wine […]
Truly amazing lunch experience – worth the travel: Restaurant Akelarre (17. November 2019)
To have a 3 Michelin starred lunch is definitely among the more enjoyable things in life. The Akelarre is located a bit outside of San Sebastián and about a 15-20 minutes drive away from the city center. Once you get there, you’ll see immediately that it is totally worth the drive! Once you’re seated and […]
Great drinks but weak service: Dry Bar @ Hotel Maria Cristina, a Luxury Collection Hotel, San Sebastián (16. November 2019)
The Dry Bar is actually quite a nice place overall – at least in terms of the quality of the drinks they offer as well as the atmosphere. I went for some drink of which I cannot remember the name but it was definitely delicious. More fun is the “Fugu” – it tastes nice but […]
A truly overwhelming experience at No. 7 of the world: Restaurant Mugaritz (16. November 2019)
I was looking very much forward to dining at No. 7 of the world according to the Acquapanna / San Pellegrino List of the 50 best restaurants of the world and I must say, I was not disappointed. I was overwhelmed. We went for the “tasting menu” (EUR 200.00) – not that we really had […]
A truly local pintxos experience: Restaurant Bodega Donostiarra (16. November 2019)
The app “Where Chefs Eat” remains an absolutely reliable source for good food experiences. The Bodega Donostiarra was recommended for “pintxos” (tapas but in Basque county) and I must say that they delivered once more. We went for the “sardinillas gallegas ‘Salanorf’” (EUR 5.70) which were absolutely enjoyable but also quite oily. My favorite was […]
