Great if you love entrecôte for lunch: Restaurant Wine & Beef Fusterie (6. January 2022)
It’s great when you find out that literally in front of your workplace, there is a restaurant which offers a nice lunch menu with a focus on beef. What you get is a “menu salad” which is nice in terms of the salad dressing. And then, you go for the “entrecôte (180gr) with ‘Wine & […]
Great Italian dishes where I did not expect them: Restaurant Osteria della Bottega (5. January 2022)
Somehow Geneva wasn’t a place for me where you’d find great Italian dishes – but you do. The Osteria della Bottega offers exactly that – as a starter I went for the “Uovo, Topinambur, Champignon e Aglio Nero” (CHF 20.00) which was a delicious dish to start – the intensity of the egg with the […]
Not my first choice in terms of hotels: Breakfast Bar @ Moxy Lausanne City (5. January 2022)
What you see is what you get when it comes to the Moxy Lausanne City. Unfortunately, Switzerland is low on Marriott hotels with decent pricing – the Moxy fulfils that but it’s basically a 3-star hotel which offers the very basic like a simple selection of yogurt, cold cuts, veggies … … bread, butter, jam […]
Simple meat dishes in a cozy atmosphere: Restaurant Le Carnivore de Vieille Ville (4. January 2022)
If you’re in Geneva and it’s late in the evening, it’s not entirely easy to find a place which is still open – but luckily, the Le Carnivore was still open. The restaurant is located on the lower floor and is a bit tight in terms of space but they offer a decent selection of […]
A good breakfast selection in a nice setting: Restaurant Batuar @ Cotton House, Autograph Collection (3. January 2022)
The breakfast selection at the Cotton House remains absolutely decent – you get everything from fresh juices … … to pastries and cakes … … as well as the more traditional Spanish dishes like Jamon Iberico and tomato. So, they breakfast buffet isn’t exhaustive but it’s definitely nice and of high quality. The place is […]
When you go to Michelin starred restaurants of the same enterprise, it becomes repetitive: Restaurant Angle (2. January 2022)
I was looking forward to trying another 2 Michelin stars restaurant and their “Menú Degustació” (EUR 185.00) with a “wine pairing” (EUR 100.00). As in the Atempo the first course is served at the bar downstairs and not in the restaurant. The first course being “welcome appetizers prepared by our chefs at the bar (mojito)” […]
Decent traditional dishes to be enjoyed outside in the cold: Restaurant Vivanda (2. January 2022)
The Vivanda is a Bib Gourmand restaurant recommended by the Guide Michelin and that’s okay. However, what you get isn’t really mind-blowing in my humble opinion. The “calamares a la andaluza con mayonesa cítrica” (EUR 16.00) were rather basic and the calamar was quite chewy. The “tarro elaborado en casa de sardines en escabeche con […]
Supposedly the best seafood restaurant in Barcelona: Restaurant Botafumeiro (1. January 2022)
Finding a restaurant which is open on the 1st of January isn’t entirely easy, but luckily, the Botafumeiro was open that evening and was buzzing as it seems to be buzzing every day. Once seated down you’re served “chips and bread” (for which you pay EUR 2.95) and get the menu. The waiter is friendly […]
