A delicious find with a personal note and the possibility to enjoy a delicious cuisine: Restaurant Uma (6. August 2022)
The Restaurant Uma is listed on the Guide Michelin, so I decided to give it a try. They have a standard “tasting menu” (EUR 110.00) which is not explained. You just get what you get. Which is a concept I like quite a bit – the fact that they would not share their menu with […]
Delicious breakfast selection: Restaurant Batuar @ Cotton House, Autograph Collection (7. August 2022)
When I’m in Barcelona, I like to stay at the Cotton House – it’s a lovely hotel with great rooms, a lovely rooftop pool, and extremely competent and friendly staff. On top of that, the Batuar has a small, but exquisite breakfast buffet which serves freshly cut ham as one of my favourite bites. On […]
An exquisite private club with delicious drinks: Nou Pipa Club (5. August 2022)
The Nou Pipa Club is a kind of ‘private club’ but it’s possible to enter without being a member or the like. You just have to know where and how you get in. Once that is sorted, you have to walk up a small stairway to the second floor where you find a door to […]
Truly local and interesting but far from mind-blowing: Restaurant Los Caracoles (5. August 2022)
The Los Caracoles has been on my recommendation list for quite a while. So, it was about time that I gave it a try and went to eat there. It’s highly recommended that you book a table in advance since it’s relatively crowded – even if you enter only at 9.30pm. I went for the […]
An great amazing lunch bargain: Restaurant Virens (5. August 2022)
While I have been in the vicinity of this area a couple of times, I somehow never realized the Virens – which might have been due to the fact that it is located in a hotel, and you don’t really grasp it from outside. However, since it was listed on the Guide Michelin app as […]
Exquisite choice for a business lunch – simple and swift: Restaurant Vee’s Thai Bistro (4. August 2022)
Frankly, the Vee’s Thai Bistro is not a place I would have frequented when walking by. However, since the rating on Google Maps was a 4.4, I decided to give the place a try. And I get why it’s rated that way. The place is super simple, but they are efficient and friendly. Once seated, […]
Perfect for a traditional Swiss dining experience: Restaurant Köchlistube (3. August 2022)
What you get at the Köchlistube is very traditional Swiss dishes. I went for the “lamb’s lettuce (with egg, croutons served on a sweet mustard dressing)” (CHF 12.50) which was nice – but a bit heavy on the croutons side! The plate of the “veal cordon bleu (stuffed with ham and raclette cheese, served with […]
Interesting, kind of fusion cuisine: Restaurant Yuma (2. August 2022)
It’s 2.5 years ago, since I’ve last visited the Yuma. I remember the place serving quite interesting foods since it’s a mixture of various cuisines – Mexican, Asian, somehow fusion, somehow modern. But then again, trying to be traditional. As a starter I went for the “jalapeño beef tacos (beef, tomato, avocado jalapeño salsa)” (CHF […]
