Delicious lunch menu – even serving boar: Restaurant MASI Wine Bar (8. January 2020)
Somehow, the MASI remains a good address for lunch as they manage to provide you with a tasty lunch and a swift business lunch experience. Today, they started with a simple amuse bouche which was basically a mini caprese with an olive on top. The soup of the day was a “cauliflower soup with chive” […]
Swift and good lunch offering: Restaurant Nektar (6. January 2020)
Although being in St. Gallen frequently, I somehow haven’t managed to pay the Nektar a visit and finally it was time. I went for the “menu soup” which was good but I found the little slices of bread a bit “uninspirational” really. However, the soup was good and wasn’t too hot so it was perfectly […]
Not as good as it used to be – a bit disappointing: Restaurant Maison Manesse (4. January 2020)
It’s about three years ago since I’ve last been to the Maison Manesse – and my expectations were accordingly high, given every single time I’ve been there in the past, it was a blast. Now, to state the important things upfront – they aren’t anymore as they used to be. I went for the “I […]
Absolutely lovely local experience: Restaurant El Rinconcillo (3. January 2020)
Somehow, the El Rinconcillo is an institution in Sevilla – wherever you check for restaurant recommendations, the El Rinconcillo pops up. Now, if you go before 7pm, you’ll just get food at the counter and will have to ‘stand around’ to eat your food and drink your glass of wine. Therefore, I would recommend you […]
Good for breakfast before you queue at Real Alcazar: Restaurant Taberna El Papelón (3. January 2020)
When you are looking for a place which serves a small snack in the morning, the Taberna El Papelón is rather perfect as it basically a little café where they have understood the concept of swift service (which is not absolutely normal in Spain). I asked for a tea and a “Bocadillo de Jamón Ibérico […]
Good but more one than two Michelin stars: Restaurant Bardal (2. January 2020)
In the little town of Ronda which is famous for it’s Greek-style white houses and is located quite a bit up in the mountains, there is more to see than just the atmosphere. They also have a Michelin-starred restaurant with two Michelin stars (definitely not something you’d expect there)! The Bardal requires a down payment […]
Fair for a quick stop: Café Puerta 2 (2. January 2020)
Given, almost nothing was open in the early morning, I was happy to stumble upon the Café Puerta 2 (named like that due to its vicinity to the second gate of the bull fight arena) because it was rather cold outside. The place is very simple but the waitress is friendly and swift in serving […]
Surprisingly lovely place in a hostel: Restaurant El Disparate (1. January 2019)
The El Disparate was recommended by the Guide Michelin 2020 app. When I arrived there I was rather surprised as the restaurant is part of a hostel. Now, prejudice or not, I did not expect a restaurant recommended by the Guide Michelin to be located in a hostel. However, the fact that I got the […]
