A place where you wouldn’t expect to find a lovely garden: Restaurant Sternen Albisrieden (22. July 2020)
Although I have driven by the Sternen Albisrieden more than 100 times over the past few years, it never crossed my mind to get in there and have a meal. Luckily, a friend of mine suggested having lunch here and it was a surprisingly good decision. I went for the “veal cordon bleu (stuffed with […]
Traditional restaurant with decent food: Restaurant Schweizerheim (21. July 2020)
The Schweizerheim is frankly not a place I would have walked into, but as my sister recommended it, I figured, it’s worth giving a try. And I must admit that it is actually absolutely enjoyable. The place is relatively simple and the location isn’t the best as it is next to the main road but […]
When the kitchen is definitely way too slow: Restaurant terrasse (21. July 2020)
What I like about the terrasse is the fact that you get to sit outside – what I don’t like about the terrasse is the fact that the service is very slow especially during lunchtime which is really quite annoying. I decided to go for the “veal tartar (veal tartare, celery, herb salad, estragon crème […]
Simple and honest but delicious Catalonian dishes: Restaurant L’Antic Bocoi del Gòtic (18. July 2020)
It is surprisingly difficult to find a place to eat after 11pm in Barcelona (at least in COVID-19) times – luckily, there are still a few places open and the L’Antic Bocoi del Gòtic is one of them. I called around 10:30pm to identify if it was still possible to get something, respectively if the […]
Delicious ice cream by Jordi Roca: Rocambolesc Barcelona (18. July 2020)
When I was last in Barcelona, I discovered the Rocambolesc and it was a very pleasant experience. Therefore, I decided to pay this place another visit and it was a good idea. The concept is rather simple. You pick how you want your icecream served, then you pick which ice cream flavors (there are only […]
Super heavy but delicious brunch offering: Restaurant Brunch & Cake (18. July 2020)
Finding a breakfast place was actually not as easy as I had expected – however, after some time, I managed to find one and it was quite a good one. There was a line and you had to wait for a bit until one of the tables was available. In any case, it’s worth the […]
Tapas and paella – typical Spanish dishes: Restaurant La Taperia @ El Nacional (17. July 2020)
The El Nacional is located a bit off the main street and is not entirely easy to find – but it is worth ‘the search’ as the El Nacional offers a variety of different restaurants and bars in the same place which makes it quite nice and convenient. The La Taperia offers a wide variety […]
Savoury crepes are actually surprisingly enjoyable: Creps Barcelona Rambla Catalunya (17. July 2020)
When I entered the Creps Barcelona Rambla Catalunya, I didn’t entirely know what kind of bar I walked into and when I ordered something salty to eat, I was suggested a “crepe serrano and brie” (EUR 7.50) which sounded like something I wanted but I didn’t understand that it was a crepe. So I was […]
