The perfect starting and end point to the Bishorn: Restaurant Cabane de Tracuit (17. July 2021)
If you made it up to the Cabane de Tracuit from Zinal you’ve managed about 1’700 meters in height and definitely deserve a hearty meal. The “cheese and cold cuts platter” to start was just perfect – served with pickles and some bread, it actually made for a great start. Now, the “roesti, eggs sunny […]
An absolutely decent tex mex experience – if you’re looking for one: Restaurant Café Especial (13. July 2021)
After the “Latin American” food experience the night before, I was rather skeptical about another one of these restaurants but it turned out that the Café Especial was actually better. The “nacho chips” which were served to start were fine but definitely not Mexican. The “chili colorado (tender beef cubes in spicy chili sauce, served […]
Delicious breakfast options in a nice atmosphere and with good service: Restaurant Glashaus @ Hyatt Regency Cologne (13. July 2021)
It is about five years ago since I’ve last been to the Hyatt Regency Cologne – and it was great to be back since the breakfast buffet is actually exquisitely enjoyable. You really kind of get everything you need and want – ranging from a variety of different cheeses … … to cold cuts … […]
A place with a bit of an attitude and average food: Restaurant La Reina (12. July 2021)
Surprisingly enough, the restaurant was rated relatively high on Google but I suppose that is mainly due to the fact that the food is relatively cheap. And it’s not bad. But it’s rather average. The “pan y aioli” was served complimentary which was nice to get started – also since it took a bit to […]
Perfect for a quick Italian lunch break: Restaurant Distinto (12. July 2021)
The restaurant Distinto is one of a few Italian restaurants which are located right next to each other – and while it was a bit of a walk to get there, it was actually worth doing so since the menu they offer for lunch is a good bargain. I went for “Pizza Prosciutto (tomatoes, mozzarella […]
Under new ownership but still exquisite cuisine: Restaurant Brasserie Freilager (6. July 2021)
It’s a few months ago since I’ve been eating at the Restaurant Freilager and something has changed since. The Brasserie Freilager is no longer part of the Dieter Meier Group but actually has become independent. And it didn’t change much in terms of quality and the like. The evening started with “bread & spread” and […]
Delicious breaded pork schnitzel which fills your tummy: Restaurant Bistro k2 (9. July 2021)
I have passed by the Bistro k2 various times already but was so far never able to enter as the place was closed during Corona. Finally, it was time to give it a shot and eat inside. The “soup of the day” was good and was served within a few minutes after we had placed […]
Somehow like Vapiano but with a more Middle Eastern cuisine: Restaurant Bona’me Köln-Deutz (7. July 2021)
While I was expecting a regular restaurant, the concept of the Bona’Me is very close to the one of Vapiano – or actually, it’s the same, just for a different cuisine. In any case, once I had digested that this was not a regular restaurant but a go get it yourself place, I went for […]
