When missing due diligence makes you walk into a tourist trap: Restaurant Lagarto (6. December 2021)
Sometimes, things are so promising and turn out to be quite disappointing. The restaurant Lagarto was exactly that case. I went for the “Lagarto Tasting Menu” (EUR 45.00) which sounded quite appealing and lovely. However, it turned out to be not that way. The “lobster bisque (a rich reduced intense homemade bisque creamy soup served […]
When the view is the only breath-taking thing: Restaurant Las Terrazas del Sauzal (5. December 2021)
After weeks in Mexico, everything starts tasting bland. And, unfortunately, that was also the case here. The Las Terrazas del Sauzal sound super promising as they offer a nice view over the city but somehow, you are not really experience anything great in terms of what you get there. They offer “bread and butter with […]
A typical Marriott breakfast place – but nothing to remember: Restaurant El Parador @ Sheraton La Caleta Resort & Spa (5. December 2021)
What you get at the El Parador is pretty much what you see – there is a rather luscious breakfast buffet which offers everything you need ranging from cheeses, fruit … … to a variety of cold cuts and fishes … … vegetables … … the necessary selection of jams and spreads … … as […]
A goodbye visit to the restaurant which rejected the 50 Best award but was rightfully nominated: Restaurant Masala y Maíz (1. December 2021)
The Masala y Maíz was nominated by the 50 Best for the “The Macallan Icon Latin America” award rightfully – however, they decided to reject the award. But let’s focus on the food – the process of getting a table takes a while as everything is prepared from the moment they open (i.e. 12:00 pm) […]
A waiter with great sales skills and a good drinks bargain: Restaurant Sonora Grill (30. November 2021)
The original intention was to go for a drink at the Sonora Grill, however, since the waiter really does a good job at cross-selling and basically made clear that you get two drinks for one if you pick a starter so we decided to go for some tacos, i.e. the “center loin tacos (with cheese […]
A great place to stop for a couple of drinks: Restaurant Mythos Roma-Cibeles (30. November 2021)
Sometimes you just wand to do a short break to have a drink and something small to eat – and if that’s the case the Fuente de Cibeles is a great place for doing so. There are a number of restaurants around the fountain and it’s a nice area in Roma where you can walk […]
No. 27 of Latam’s best restaurants – not sure I agree: Restaurant Rosetta (29. November 2021)
The Rosetta was listed as No. 27 of the best restaurants in Latin America so it was sure time to give it a try! They also run a bakery so it was for sure time to try their “mantequilla con hormiga chicatana y pan de centeno” (130 MXN) to check out if their bread was […]
Not sure how this restaurant ended up in the Top 15: Restaurant No Sé Nada (27. November 2021)
Since it was the last evening in Puerto Vallarta I was really hoping to find a place which would blow my mind. Well, it did. But not how I had planned it. The No Sé Nada restaurant is apparently No. 11 of all restaurants in Puerto Vallarta and I highly wonder why. Okay, let’s be […]
