Atmospheric restaurant with good service: Restaurant The Harbour Club Amsterdam Zuid (13. August 2021)
The Harbour Club Amsterdam Zuid is a nice restaurant located within the premises of the Apollo Hotel. The lunch offering is decent but funny enough, the online menu is more comprehensive than the menu you get handed out when you sit down. I decided to go for the “beef tacos (skirt steak, shii-take, parmesan)” (EUR […]
Delicious experience in a nice backyard: Restaurant Bless – The Cuisine of Indochina (11. August 2021)
Luckily, there are options in Berlin still worth discovering when it comes to food experiences. The Bless only opened recently and offers a nice selection of Indochinese dishes in a lovely atmosphere and with friendly service. I went for the “Inchi chicken (Indochinese variation of classic ‘fried chicken’ with chili mayo)” (EUR 5.00) as a […]
Definitely not recommended for lunch: Restaurant Ganymed (11. August 2021)
The Ganymed offers a lunch menu which is fair in price – but you also get why it costing what it costs. The “chanterelles cream soup with pesto” (EUR 3.50) did not really taste like much. Sure, it was eatable but it really lacked kind of everything. And it continued with the main “cod fish […]
Quite an amazing bar for gin-based cocktails: Botanical Affairs Bar (10. August 2021)
Berlin will never be my city – being declined to enter an empty club due to the fact that you are wearing a shirt. I mean, come on! In any case, sometimes this also leads to lucky circumstances like finding the Botanical Affairs Bar which was quiet (not many visitors) but offers a nice selection […]
Nice view but the service isn’t up to the task yet: Restaurant RIVO Spreeterrassen (10. August 2021)
The RIVO Spreeterrassen only opened recently in July – and you can see that there is potential. Potential going forward but also potential for improvement. The place is located close to the river Spree (as the name suggests) and you’re basically seated right next to it. The service is definitely friendly but lacks experience, speed, […]
Walking into a rare find for a lunch bargain: Restaurant Casa Amàlia (8. August 2021)
The Casa Amàlia turned out to be a lucky find. It’s kind of hidden in a small side street between two other restaurants but it’s definitely worth visiting and it’s definitely recommended to book a table in advance. We were lucky as somehow there was still a table left. Lunch started with an “The Italian […]
A true bargain for a Michelin star experience: Restaurant Xerta (7. August 2021)
Luckily, it didn’t continue like it started. Upon arrival, we were brought to our table and then the waiting begun. It took them a solid 10 minutes to bring the menu and another 10 to take the order. Now, I get it, it’s busy, and all. But if you carry 1 Michelin star, that’s definitely […]
A touristic tapas bar which creates a local experience: Restaurant Bar del Pla (7. August 2021)
Somehow, it wasn’t as easy as I had expected to find a restaurant which would serve food at around 3pm on a Saturday but finally, I found the Bar del Pla which is really kind of a tapas restaurant, if you want. So, I started the lunch with “padrón peppers” (EUR 8.00) which were nice […]
