Perfect for elaborate after-dinner drinks: The Gin Room (22. April 2022)
If you’re not in central Berlin, it is not entirely easy finding a nice bar which isn’t run down. Luckily, there was one in the vicinity of the restaurant, called The Gin Room. And luckily, there was still space when I walked in around midnight. The bar isn’t huge and offers seats for maybe 20-30 […]
A truly delicious hotpot experience close to KuDamm: Restaurant Ting Song 随园·听松 Hotpot (22. April 2022)
Since I’ve talked with a friend about hotpot a few weeks back, I was craving hotpot, always remembering that amazing hotpot I have had in Shanghai back in 2017 in the Restaurant Elixir Health Pot! Today it was the day to do that again, and I went for a good selection of all kind of […]
Great shisha place but not much more than that: Restaurant Phoenicia (22. April 2022)
Since there are not that many good shisha places in Switzerland, I enjoy getting a nice shisha when I’m in Berlin. The Phoenicia offers exactly that. I went for a “Moroccan Tea” (EUR 4.90) which is quite nice and enjoyable – with the necessary amount of sugar, it makes for a perfect drink to … […]
Great Chinese lunch offering: Restaurant Lychee (22. April 2022)
Somehow this turned out to be my Asian food weekend – so I ended up at Lychee, which is a Chinese restaurant. I started with “six mixed dim sum (2x Sui Mai (chicken with Chinese mushrooms and water chestnuts), 2x Ha Gau (shrimp in rice dough), 2x Hsiao Long Bao (pork in wheat dough)) (EUR […]
Decent but not even close to the Restaurant Tim Raue: Restaurant Brasserie Colette Tim Raue (21. April 2022)
Somehow, the Brasserie Colette by Tim Raue has been on my to-do list for quite a while – and I finally managed to visit this place. Once you’re seated you get “bread, butter and sweet pickled cucumbers” which is quite a nice way to get your dinner started. They offer sardines as a starter and […]
Having lunch upstairs is a different treat than downstairs: Restaurant Cantinetta Antinori (20. April 2022)
After not having been here for three years, I ended up in the Cantinetta Antinori twice within two weeks. This time, it was for a bit more luscious lunch and I started it with “Cappellacci di Ricotta (home-made, stuffed with ricotta marjoram)” (CHF 25.00) which were great. They were, in my opinion, a bit overcooked […]
When you’re positively surprised by a vegan-only place: Restaurant Roots @ Balboa (19. April 2022)
I must admit, I didn’t have high expectations for this place, but figured I might as well give it a try. Since I wanted something which could potentially resemble meat a bit, I went for the “Green Curry Bowl (jasmine rice, green curry, peas, snow peas, broccoli, grapes, chick peas, marinated kale, coco chips, seed […]
A delicious tasting menu experience in a traditional setting: Restaurant Weisses Rössli (13. April 2022)
The last time I was at the Weisses Rössli, I was quite disappointed since back then it had ranked No. 1 on TripAdvisor and that wasn’t right for sure. Since my friend had booked the restaurant, I decided to give it a try, and was quite positively surprised. The “three-course menu” (CHF 83.00) with an […]
