Simple but good Indian food: Restaurant Rice & Curry (26. October 2021)
Sometimes you end up in a restaurant where you hadn’t really planned to end up in and the Rice & Curry was one of these places. However, sometimes you’re positively surprised and today was such a day. I went for a “Mango Lassi” (EUR 3.10) to start which was nice and got some crispy Indian […]
Definitely an over-priced experience: Restaurant Reef & Beef (25. October 2021)
Since I had seen a food-related show on Netflix about Maryland and the famous crab cakes, I decided that I definitely wanted to try one of these. Not sure they are close to the real thing but since they were served here, I decided to try exactly those and went for the “Maryland Crab Cakes […]
Good for a swift dinner the Italian way: Restaurant Mangia e Vai Machabäerstraße (24. October 2021)
If you’re looking for a simple dinner, then the Mangia e Vai is quite a decent choice. The place is nothing spectacular in terms of interior design but it offers a few seats which are comfortable to sit down. The service is friendly, i.e., you get what you ask within a few minutes although I […]
If you want to try what Flynn McGarry has to offer, visit his ‘Gem’: Excellence Gourmetfestival with Flynn McGarry (23. October 2021)
I was super excited when I heard about Flynn McGarry coming to Europe to cook in one of the Excellence Gourmetfestival tours since I’ve visited the young chef in June 2019 in his New York restaurant ‘Gem’ and while there was some downside in terms of experience creating, he definitely had a few mouth-watering dishes […]
Definitely worth having breakfast when you’re staying at the hotel: Restaurant Le 1387 @ Maison Rouge Hotel & Spa (23. October 2021)
The Maison Rouge Hotel offers a great breakfast on the first floor ranging from vegetables, cold cuts, cheeses, … … as well as juices, drinks, yogurt, fresh fruit, … … a variety of different breads … … and pastries plus the opportunity to order all kinds of egg dishes you could wish for. All in […]
A speakeasy in a pizza place: Speakeasy Aedaen Place (22. October 2021)
The Speakeasy Aedaen Place is basically a door at the end of a pizza restaurant – and it’s quite nice since you wouldn’t know that it’s there when you’re having a pizza there (and the whole place still smelled like pizza when we entered). However, if you come after midnight, the pizza place is closed […]
A delicious 1 Michelin star experience with a view into the kitchen: Restaurant 1741 (22. October 2021)
The “nine course surprise tasting menu” (EUR 155.00) with the “wine pairing” (EUR 95.00) is definitely something, I can recommend. The first two amuse bouches were “cod fish with dill oil” which was absolutely mouth-watering and “beetroot with fish eggs” which was okay too but not as good as the cod. The “Parmesan sticks” were […]
An exquisite bar experience: Bar Le 1387 @ Maison Rouge Hotel & Spa (22. October 2021)
If you’re looking for a place with decent drinks, then the Bar Le 1387 is definitely a place I can recommend. It’s located right after the lobby of the Maison Rouge Hotel & Spa and is nice in terms of interior decoration. The drinks I tried were the “Garçonne (onctueux, puissant et floral épicé; vodka, […]
