Lovely Asian cuisine but lacking efficiency: Restaurant DuDu (23. July 2021)
The Restaurant DuDu offers a nice selection of different Asian dishes for a very good price performance ratio). I went for the “Sup Dua (tasty coco milk soup with chicken, mushrooms, lime leaves and lemongrass, garnished with cilantro)” (EUR 5.90), the “Goi Cuon (fresh summer rolls with rice noodles, fresh salad, cucumber, mint, cilantro, basil […]
Good food but with service not up to the task: Restaurant Lütticher (22. July 2021)
When you book a table and then you’re told that certain tables are not free – and some walk-in 5 minutes later gets exactly one of these tables, it does not feel like a good start. Despite that little sour note, the Lütticher is a place to be visited. We went for the “3 course […]
Surprisingly delicious tapas in a place where you’d not expect it: Restaurant Stadtwaldgarten (21. July 2021)
Sometimes you encounter little food gems in places you would definitely not expect it. The Stadtwaldgarten sounds like a very German restaurant – turns out, it’s not. It’s more of a Spanish restaurant which serves a whole wide variety of different tapas which all cost (with two exceptions) EUR 4.50. The “Jamón Serrano” (EUR 7.50) […]
Simple, swift, and tasty Mongolian barbecue: Restaurant Mongo’s (20. July 2021)
It is approximately 10 years ago since I’ve been eating at a Mongo’s but I have fond memories of the Mongo’s Düsseldorf which I had visited back then. The concept is rather simple – you go to the buffet, pick all the fresh ingredients you want and they put them together in a pan and […]
Delicious breakfast with a marvelous view: Restaurant Du Lac @ Hotel Du Lac (19. July 2021)
Luckily, the Restaurant Du Lac does not only serve lunch and dinner but also breakfast. Since it is still Corona, there is no breakfast buffet but you kind of get something similar – a little tower of delicacies … … but you can also ask for more cheese and cold cuts … … as well […]
A delicious wedding meal prepared by Chef Luca Mozzanica: Restaurant La Veranda @ Villa Lario Resort Mandello (18. July 2021)
Now, one should usually not rate experiences of formal events but given it was the place of chef Luca Mozzanica which has a world-famous raviolo, I think we can make an exception. The whole evening started with a “burrata” which was good in terms of flavor and good in terms of combination of ingredients on […]
Delicious dishes with a breath-taking view: Restaurant Du Lac @ Hotel Du Lac (18. July 2021)
Talking about contrast – the day before I was on Bishorn (4’200m) and the next day I’m at the Lake Como in Italy. And the Restaurant Du Lac offers a good experience to get into civilization again. It starts with some bread and grissini which were delicious but I was a bit surprised that they […]
Good Swiss dishes in a restaurant in Bitsch: Restaurant z’Matt (17. July 2021)
The funniest thing about this place is where it is located. The little town is called “Bitsch”. Yeah, literally. And no, no typos here. In any case, the z’Matt is a nice local restaurant which serves simple but good local dishes. I went for the “carpaccio of jerky with Valaisan cream cheese with rosemary oil […]
