A nice Peruvian place but a bit on the expensive side: Restaurant Barranco (28. April 2022)
It’s quite a while ago since I’ve been to the Barranco and what really blows my mind is the fact that you still have to book about 3 weeks in advance to be able to score a table. I mean, yeah, it’s good, and it’s interesting, and it’s kind of unique since there aren’t too […]
It remains a great place to have lunch in the sun, if you have time: Restaurant Brasserie Schiller (28. April 2022)
Despite the fact that I’m very often disappointed in the Brasserie Schiller in terms of speed of service, I somehow keep coming back since the place is conveniently and centrally placed, plus it has a nice atmosphere when you get to sit outside. However, as always, it takes a bit until you’re attended, brought the […]
Still a good restaurant, also under new management: Restaurant Brasserie Freilager (27. April 2022)
Since the Brasserie Freilager has a new owner, a few things have changed, among others, the menu. Since the same place which used to be only the Brasserie Freilager also holds a Barfüsser Sushi restaurant now, they are doing some kind of mixture and serve an amuse bouche from the other restaurant. That evening, it […]
A good new Italian restaurant without being overly fancy: Restaurant Bocuci – Bottega & Cucina (26. April 2022)
The Restaurant Bocuci has been on my to-do list for quite a while and finally, I was able to give it a try. They offer different tasting menus, and we decided to go for the “Menu Degustazione (4 courses)” (CHF 98.00) with the respective “wine pairing” (CHF 32.00). The evening starts with “bread and crackers” […]
My new favourite place close to Paradeplatz: Restaurant Coco Grill & Bar (26. April 2022)
The Coco Grill & Bar is slowly turning to my most favourite restaurant in the vicinity of Paradeplatz. It’s a simple concept but quite appealing. The menu doesn’t change too much, so it’s maybe not your ‘I’m going every day of the week’ kind of place, but it offers great dishes for a fair price […]
No matter in which city, always a reliable and good choice for meat: Restaurant Ojo de Agua Berlin (23. April 2022)
Since I have been to most of Dieter Meier’s restaurants that I know of (Ojo de Agua Frankfurt, Ojo de Agua Zurich, Bärengasse Zurich, Brassiere Freilager (back when he owned it)) but not the Ojo de Agua in Berlin, I decided to give it a try and had booked a table for the evening. It […]
A great spot to enjoy a drink in the sun and watch people passing by: Envy Bar @ nhow Hotel Berlin (23. April 2022)
I was walking along the Spree and felt like taking a little break and accidentally walked into the Envy Bar which looked quite nice. And it was – the service was a bit slow, but if you’re not in a hurry, the place is great since it’s located right next to the walking area next […]
Simple but good Asian dishes for a sharing lunch: Restaurant 1000grad (23. April 2022)
And the Asian food experience continued. The 1000grad is a nice little restaurant along the KuDamm and offers a bunch of small and large dishes. I decided to go for the sharing approach, ordering a few dishes for the table. Starting with the “Buddha’s Goldfinger (softshell crabs in a panko coat, sweet sour, basil cream)” […]
