A relatively unique kosher experience: Restaurant Florentin (22. August 2022)
If you’re interested in a bit of a special lunch experience, you should book a table at the Florentin. What I was not entirely aware of was the fact that the Florentin is a Jewish restaurant, so, imagine my surprise that I was questioned by a security guy when trying to enter the restaurant about […]
An interesting, vegetarian 2 Michelin Star experience: Restaurant Magdalena (20. August 2022)
On my Swiss journey to discover Michelin starred restaurants, it was time to visit the 2-Michelin-star restaurant Magdalena, which serves only vegetarian dishes. I went for the “7-course menu” (CHF 185.00) and “half the wine pairing” (CHF 70.00) which seemed like an okay deal overall. Honestly, though, the price is a bit steep for the […]
Perfect for a traditional, down-to-earth lunch in a nice little patio: Restaurant Riithalle (18. August 2022)
If you are looking for simple Swiss dishes in a simple but appealing atmosphere, then I can definitely recommend you to try the Riithalle. I went for the “simple sausage-cheese-salad (sausage, cheese, salad with cervelat from Zurich and Gruyère cheese)” (CHF 16.00) which turned out to be quite a portion, especially for a starter. I […]
Outstanding Italian cuisine with great service – but also not really a rooftop: Restaurant LEO (16. August 2022)
Given I was not really blown away by the other restaurant on the rooftop of Globus, I decided to give the other one a try too, and booked a table at LEO. LEO is basically an Italian restaurant which has about the same kind of rooftop experience as the restaurant next door. So, not necessarily […]
Better than expected with attentive service: Restaurant Bank (15. August 2022)
Although I had passed by the Restaurant Bank a variety of times, I somehow never was compelled to enter. It turns out, I should have done so earlier. The Restaurant Bank is actually rated quite well, and is overall a nice location with decent dishes. We went to share a few together, and started with […]
Quite good but a bit hefty if you consider the price: Restaurant Bindella (15. August 2022)
The Bindella offers a nice selection of relaxed dishes for lunch. I went for the “gazpacho” (CHF 11.50) as a starter which was quite lovely since it was fresh and still felt like a good bite, i.e., it was not like a dish where you would feel hungry immediately again! As a main, I went […]
A lovely little restaurant with a small menu, but in a lovely location: Restaurant Bar Brass (14. August 2022)
Finding a restaurant in Berlin I haven’t tried and which has great ratings isn’t that easy any more. Luckily, Berlin is big enough, so that you find something still. The Bar Brass was such a place. I went for a “Pisco Sour” (EUR 12.00) to start, which was definitely nice. The “bread & spread” was […]
A truly outstanding experience with flawless service: Restaurant Gärtnerei (13. August 2022)
The Restaurant Gärtnerei is listed as a Bib Gourmand in the Guide Michelin app and, personally, I understand why. I started with a “Basil Smash (Tanqueray gin, home-made basil sugar, fresh basil, fresh lemon juice)” (EUR 12.00) which was nice and full of flavour – perfect to start the dinner. As a small amuse bouche […]
