When you have to pay ‘cash only’ in 2022, it makes you wonder: Restaurant Ho Lo Asia Charlottenburg (13. August 2022)
One thing I still don’t understand is the fact that in today’s world, after Corona, you’re still not able to pay by card. At least, they tell you in the very beginning once you sit down that you can only pay cash. Still, I don’t get why you would not be able to pay by […]
A Bib Gourmand place which is supposed to also have a 1 Michelin star restaurant: Restaurant Bistro Grundschlag (12. August 2022)
The Bistro Grundschlag is listed as a Bib Gourmand restaurant in the Guide Michelin. And I’m not sure if I entirely agree. The place is relatively simple and located right next to a tennis club, which makes it, from an atmosphere-perspective, somewhat special. It also seemed like either we were a bit late or the […]
A great place for fresh seafood in central Berlin: Restaurant Funky Fisch (12. August 2022)
I selected the Funky Fisch since the place had good ratings on Google Maps – and I must say, rightly so. It is specialized on fish and offers fresh fish from the counter – as well as a couple of starters. I went for the “sea bream ceviche (corn, onions, mango, lemon, coriander, chilli)” (EUR […]
Remains a nice place for drinks, but has a special audience: terrasse bar (11. August 2022)
It’s a bit ago since I’ve last been to the terrasse for drinks, but it turns out, it’s pretty much the same as it has always been. The drinks are nice, although more on the pricey side – the “Lavender Sour” (CHF 21.00) is actually quite enjoyable since it’s aromatic and fruity, but it’s rather […]
A typical Thai street kitchen food experience as a pop-up: Restaurant Soi Thai (11. August 2022)
The Soi Thai is an annual pop-up restaurant which serves Thai food in Thai Street kitchen style – and booking in advance is an absolute must! The choice is simple: There is the “Soi Thai Menu” (CHF 65.00) which changes every day. And there is nothing to choose, really, unless you have intolerances. The starters […]
Something quite close to an authentic Mexican food experience: Restaurant El Alebrije (10. August 2022)
It’s more than two years ago since I’ve last been to El Alebrije, but I still have good memories, so I decided to give this place another try. I went for an “agua de horchata (rice-based drink with vanilla and cinnamon)” (CHF 8.00) and a “Sin Nombre (Mezcal (Enmascarado), Gin (Hendricks), Raventos Rosse, fresh cucumbers, […]
A good steakhouse but on the pricier side: Restaurant Goodwin – The Steak House (9. August 2022)
I had never been to the Goodwin before but somehow had confused it with the Goodman (which has been closed down a couple of years ago), so, I was curious to see what the Goodwin has to offer. It started nicely with a small “salad with roast beef” as an amuse bouche. I then went […]
A lovely restaurant with an outside patio in the shadows: Restaurant Aurora (9. August 2022)
Somehow I never really consciously realized the Aurora – although I have had events there, I was somehow not aware of the restaurant per se although seeing it when walking by many times. Still, I’m always looking for new restaurants I haven’t tried yet, I decided to give the Aurora a try. I went for […]
