Decent but not worth queuing for: Monkey Bar @ 25hours Hotel (13. July 2019)
Somehow I have always so much about the Monkey Bar in any 25hours hotel and finally it was time to give the one in Berlin a shot. The place is absolutely crowded also on a Saturday afternoon – which was a bit surprising to me as the interior is definitely nice somehow and atmospheric but […]
Delicious ice cream in central Berlin: Gelateria Lecko’Mio (13. July 2019)
I almost walked past the Lecko’Mio but when looking inside I liked it quite a lot so I felt ‘forced’ to get in and then decided to have a treat – I went for two flavors, “Yogurt” and “Salted Caramel Ice Cream” (EUR 3.00) which was absolutely delicious! The lady behind the counter was super […]
Vegetarian breakfast with a very colorful bowl: Restaurant Avocai (13. July 2019)
I am always skeptical of place which promote vegan and vegetarian food too much. Yet, I was again positively surprised by the Avocai (it might have helped that my friend is vegetarian and, therefore, knows about vegetarian places). I went for the “rainbow bowl” (EUR 12.50) which was a combination of beet root, pumpkin, sprouts, […]
Delicious starters but weak main course: Restaurant Ki (12. July 2019)
The “edamame (green cooked baby soybeans with sea salt)” (EUR 4.00) were good and tasty but lacking a bit of sea salt – and the salt could have been chunkier which would definitely have made it better. The “avocado tatar with freshly diced tuna” (EUR 7.50) was actually lovely – although, for my personal gusto, […]
As average as always: Restaurant Seerose (10. July 2019)
Doesn’t matter when I visit the Seerose in Zurich (and the last visit was in December 2016), it is always kind of the same. The place is amazing as the view onto Lake Zurich is stunning, the atmosphere is nice, the food is decent but overpriced and ultimately, the service isn’t up to the task […]
Lovely view over St. Gallen and outstanding service: Restaurant Falkenburg (10. July 2019)
Although I had spent about 8 years in St. Gallen, I somehow had never heard of the ‘Falkenburg’ but it turns out that I have really missed out on something. It is, admittedly, a bit remote and not that easy to reach, but it is definitely worth the walk or the little drive up the […]
Interesting lunch concept with good food: Restaurant Genuss Manufaktur Neubad (9. July 2019)
The Genuss Manufaktur Neubad used to be called differently and about two years ago, I paid it a visit and already liked it back then. They offer quite an interesting concept for lunch – you can either pick one ‘large’ course or take several smaller ones in order to extend your experience. I started with […]
Nice atmosphere and exquisite service: Restaurant Brasserie Louis (6. July 2019)
It is quite a couple of years ago since I have been to the Brasserie Louis but given it was Züri Fäst that weekend and almost every restaurant was somehow booked out, I decided to give the Brasserie Louis another shot. The place itself really looks like a French brasserie making it somehow comfortable and […]
