A lovely idea but a bit disappointing: Pop-Up Restaurant La Reina del Barrio (1. October 2021)
I had such high expectations for the Mexican Pop-Up Restaurant “La Reina del Barrio” but having high expectations is usually a bad idea. There is a set menu (CHF 55.00) which is served which doesn’t give you an option really in terms of what you want to eat. The evening started with “guacamole with nachos”. […]
A surprisingly amazing quinoa tatar: Restaurant Bistro k2 (1. October 2021)
The Bistro k2 is relatively simple in terms of atmosphere and not really very visible from the outside. However, if you enter it, you will find a nice space for a decent lunch offering. I went for the “barley soup from the Grisons (barley, dried tomatoes, leek, carrots, cold cuts from the Grisons skewer, roasted […]
Delicious Greek food in a nice, relaxed atmosphere: Restaurant Omonia Taverna (30. September 2021)
The Omonia Taverna was recommended to me by a client so it was time to give it a try with another client and I must say that it was definitely a place worth visiting. It’s a traditional Greek restaurant and that’s the kind of food you get there. We started the diner with a selection […]
Great breakfast offering after renovation: Restaurant Legacy @ Le Méridien Frankfurt (30. September 2021)
It’s quite some time ago since I’ve been to the Le Méridien Frankfurt and I remember that the restaurant used to look very differently when I was there last. But they have somehow renovated the place and I must say that I like it. It’s modern, spacious, and optically appealing. The fact that it is […]
Way too expensive for what is offered: Restaurant The Ivory Club (29. September 2021)
The Ivory Club is a restaurant of the Mock Group which seems to somehow the restaurant scene in Frankfurt. It is rather hard to score a table if you don’t book well in advance but sometimes you get lucky and score a table last minute. Once seated at the bar table, I decided to go […]
Healthy but not comfortable to sit down: Restaurant Stadtsalat (29. September 2021)
I had intended to go for a meatless version for lunch – however, they didn’t have “creamy burrata” in stock, so I had to decide quick and went back to my comfort food – meat! The “Havelland Beef Bowl (bio rice, rocket salad, broccoli, roasted mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, bio havelland beef, bio Parmesan, dill spread, […]
Still the same as 8 years ago and still good: Restaurant Opus (28. September 2021)
It is years ago (2013) since I’ve last been to the restaurant Opus and it hasn’t really changed at all. For me, this restaurant is the restaurant equivalent of ‘never touch a running system’. The place has exactly the same layout and seems to have remained the same in terms of friendliness of the staff, […]
Sometimes you get positively surprised by rather unknown brands: Maison Champagne de Venoge (26. September 2021)
Sometimes, it’s nice to discover something which is a bit out of the ordinary. While I have never heard of the Maison Champagne de Venoge, it actually produces a lovely “Blanc des Noirs” (EUR 71.00) worth trying. So, take a seat in the garden of the estate and enjoy a sip or two – or […]
