First local Japanese food experience – sukiyaki: Restaurant Hokuto Gems Namba (8. March 2020)
It’s apparently not always entirely easy to find the good places to eat when you’re in Japan. The Hokuto Gems Namba for example is located in a building which is full of restaurants but isn’t much advertised from the outside. So, you kind of have to know that there is something like a restaurant building. […]
Excellent service experience on SWISS First flight LX158 ZRH – KIX (7. March 2020)
Due to the Corona Virus the First class cabin was pretty much empty – which allowed one to change seats at will and to experience the whole cabin basically from all possible imaginable angles. Starting with a glass of white wine and a “carrot tartar” which was quite refreshing, I was in a good mood […]
Nice experience but not as great as in previous visits: SWISS First Class Lounge Terminal E (7. March 2020)
I love returning to the SWISS First Class Lounge in the E terminal as it always is the start of a nice adventure. This time, the adventure started with a “Tom Kha Gai (chicken, oyster mushroom, lotus root, water spinach)” which was great in terms of flavor but also had a nice spiciness to it. […]
Delicious local food from Engadine in a homey atmosphere: Restaurant Pensiun Aldier (5. March 2020)
The Pensiun Aldier is a small local hotel which has a nice dining room which is entirely held in wood. Once you’re seated – and booking a table in advance is highly recommended – you are served a small appetizer which was “egg cream on pumpernickel bread” which was quite intense in flavor and actually […]
A lovely walk to a traditional Swiss restaurant: Restaurant Val d’Uina (3. March 2020)
Getting to the Restaurant Val d’Uina is definitely a nice little walk from Scuol of about 90 minutes and 6 kilometers and when the weather is nice as it was that day, I would definitely recommend you to take that stroll through the winter landscape. Once you’ve arrived, you find yourself in a traditional restaurant […]
A truly Swiss experience – Metzgete: Alpwirtschaft Unterlauelen (28. February 2020)
Metzgete is a Swiss tradition where all the parts of the animal after it’s slaughtered are used so you end up with a whole lot of delicacies. The restaurant Unterlauelen in the Eigenthal in the middle of nowhere is offering ‘Metzgete’ also in February (usually you can find it in late autumn) and it was […]
A great vegetarian hideaway in the city centre: Restaurant Temple Natura (26. February 2020)
If you are hungry around 4pm in Palma de Mallorca it is rather difficult to find a place which is still open and when I got across Temple Natura I was a bit skeptical as it is a vegetarian location. However, given the good ratings in Google (4.6 on average), I was keen to give […]
The perfect place for large tapas: Restaurant La Bodeguilla (25. February 2020)
La Bodeguilla is yet another recommendation by the Guide Michelin app 2020 and I must say, a good one. The restaurant is basically offering a selection of tapas. One thing in advance – please keep in mind, that “small portions” in Spain are much much larger than in Northern European countries. I went for the […]
