Decent dishes but completely incapable service: Restaurant Rocca im Gehry’s (17. December 2018)
The last time I’ve been to the Rocca im Gehry’s, the service was swift and the dishes were great. This time, only the dishes were great. The service was incredibly slow and inattentive. After quite some time, the “bread, spread and veggies” arrived so it helped us getting through the waiting time until the starter was served.
As a starter, I went for the “tuna sashimi (Asia style)” (EUR 15.00) which was overall quite tasty. The tuna was cut incredibly thin and the toppings really made it a delicious combination of flavours and textures.
As a main, I went for the “Uruguay Premium Black Angus Beef (300gr)” (EUR 37.00) served with “Sauce Béarnaise” (EUR 2.00) and “sweet potato fries with sauce” (EUR 7.00). While the fries were delicious and also nicely crispy, the sauce was disappointing as it was just regular mayonnaise. I mean, just call it that if you do not have a special sauce.
The beef was great again – there was this little grill burn crust which was delicious but at the brink of being too burnt. However, the meat was tender and luscious so you could truly enjoy the meat with a sprinkle of salt. However, the Sauce Béarnaise was really a disappointment. So, all in all, this time it wasn’t as pleasurable as the last time. Well, I suppose there is always a second time to everything.

I started the blog in October 2009, while living in Milan which I definitely consider to be one of the food capitals of the world. I was in touch with food since my early childhood (as my father is a former chef). Whenever I can, I travel the world to discover new places, to meet people but mostly to try local dishes and to find hidden gems!
