Good dinner option with a lovely view: Restaurant Es Castell @ Castillo Son Vida (19. August 2021)
The first dinner in a new hotel is always good to try something new and the Es Castell in the Castillo Son Vida is exactly that – something new. As an amuse bouche, they served a “cone with fish roe” which was intense in flavor but also very enjoyable. Second in line was the “traditional […]
A wanna-be tapas bar with ambiguous pricing: Restaurant Meister Gerhard (18. August 2021)
The Meister Gerhard is a place which wants to see that your either recovered from Covid, tested or fully vaccinated. And frankly, that’s good this way. Especially since you’re relatively close to other people when you’re inside. The place is German but tries to come across as a tapas bar – and doesn’t fully succeed […]
Great dishes in a nice atmosphere: Restaurant am Steinplatz (17. August 2021)
The Restaurant am Steinplatz is located in the Hotel am Steinplatz and is actually super nice. I went for the “meat (beef tatare, baked radishes, egg yolk)” (EUR 11.00) which was good. Frankly, it was almost a bit too many flavors for my personal gusto but all in all still very enjoyable. Luckily though, I […]
Delicious Chilean food with super friendly service: Restaurant La Tia Rica (16. August 2021)
The Restaurant La Tia Rica looked promising online with a rating of 4.6 on Google which is pretty high. So, to be sure I was actually having a space (since it also started raining), I booked a table in advance and it definitely turned out to be a good idea. The place was absolutely full […]
When you’re not welcome as a guest: The Living Room, by Bodon @ Apollo Hotel (14. August 2021)
As lovely as the place was during the afternoon, as crappy it was shortly before midnight. I mean, we arrived 45 minutes before closing time but you could clearly see that we were not welcome at all. We were pretty much ignored. Like, completely ignored! Only once I walked up to the bar and demanded […]
The thing with brasseries – good food but low comfort: Restaurant Brasserie Lolita (14. August 2021)
I have my beef with Brassieries. Somehow I like them since they offer good food in a somewhat nice atmosphere and I must say in this case, the waiter was incredibly cool and caring although we were a not easy group of nine. In any case, the fact that they always have such little tables […]
Definitely interesting but not sure it’s a Michelin star: Restaurant Ron’s Gastrobar (13. August 2021)
Some things are not what you expect them to be. The Ron’s Gastrobar is somewhat of a hipster place in my perception – and it turns out it’s a hipster place with a Michelin star. While not entirely intuitive in terms of atmosphere, service, etc. – it becomes somewhat apparent over time. The table was […]
Decent experience with good service: The Living Room, by Bodon @ Apollo Hotel (13. August 2021)
The Living Room, by Bodon is a kind of a weird name for a bar but it turns out the bar is actually quite decent. It’s located in the Apollo Hotel and actually quite nice in terms of interior design. The waiter was the same as for lunch in The Harbour Club Amsterdam Zuid and […]
