An interesting journey through tasty dishes with a marvelous view over Frankfurt: Restaurant Franziska (15. January 2025)
If you decide to dine at the Franziska, then you definitely have to keep in mind that you can only order a tasting menu. The standard version of the “tasting menu” accounts for EUR 99.90 and offers you a choice for each course but the amuse bouche, which starts with a “handkäse (spherified curdled milk […]
A great selection of dishes, but pricing-wise a rip-off: Restaurant Clouds Kitchen (11. January 2025)
I haven’t been to the Clouds Kitchen for brunch since 2017 (see here for the previous review) where the brunch cost CHF 65.00 and some beverages were included (like water). Now, the brunch costs CHF 76.00 and no beverages are included, which is quite a steep increase. Yes, sure, it’s like 7 years since, but […]
A good place for Swiss dishes – even when it’s not Metzgete: Restaurant Falken Wiedikon (7. January 2025)
I think about 90% of the times I’ve been to the Falken Wiedikon in the past 5 years was when they had their Metzgete. Today was one of the days, where I ended up here without the Metzgete. I went for the “Flat Iron beef steak with red wine sauce, with potatoes au gratin, winter […]
Quite an amazing vegetarian option for Asian-inspired food: Restaurant Hikari (6. January 2025)
I was quite surprised when I figured out that the Hikari is a vegetarian place, since I had not expected that (the place was chosen by a friend). But I was even more positively surprised, when I realised how tasty the dishes were. We went for “karaage (fried tofu with mayo and chilli sauce)” (CHF […]
A mixture of self-service and sit-in restaurant: Restaurant Thai Erawan – Bärengasse (6. January 2025)
I’ve picked up lunch here a few times already, but never really took the option to sit down and have lunch onsite. Today was the day to try that. The process is the same as if you pick it up to go – you basically queue, and ask to eat it in, and the only […]
An outstanding 2 Michelin star dining experience through the Asian cuisine: Restaurant Ocean (3. January 2025)
I’ve tried a few starred restaurants in the Algarve, but I must admit the Ocean is the best so far (to be fair, it’s the only 2 Michelin star restaurant I’ve tried in the Algarve). I started with a non-alcoholic drink, a “Shurb (rice vinegar, Ish Carribean spices <0.5, lemon, mint)” (EUR 10.00), which was […]
Good seafood with a lovely view onto the sea: Restaurant Maré (30. December 2024)
It was great to return to the Maré after more than 2 years, and it’s just the same as I had it in my memory. They close at 5 pm, so you need to make sure to arrive there at least by 4.30 pm as else they will not allow you to order anything from […]
Another touristic location with quite tasty food: Restaurant O Azenhas do Mar (29. December 2024)
The O Azenhas do Mar turned out to be another case of ‘a touristic place, which turns out to be tasty’ – and you also definitely have to book in advance to make sure to score a table! I went for the “panko fried shrimp with mango mayonnaise and soy sauce” (EUR 22.00), which was […]
