When you end up in a sushi chain: Restaurant Sushi Shop Lulli (26. October 2022)
Sometimes, you need food urgently, and you need something which looks decent, and you end up with a chain (which I didn’t know when I ordered). I went for the following selection – “Dragon Roll (avocat, oeufs de saumon, piment, mayonnaise, teriyaki, ciboulette, sesame)” (EUR 10.90), “Tartare de Saumon (saumon et avocat à la Mayonnaise […]
Unfortunately, quite of a disappointment when looking for soul food: Restaurant Mamacita (11. September 2022)
Finding a restaurant which is open on a Sunday evening is not as easy as I had expected. Well, of course, there are quite a few tourist traps, but I tried to avoid those and was looking for hidden gems, for recommendations, for the places you would not find easily. And while there were a […]
Quite disappointing compared to the amazing ‘Metzgete’ experiences: Restaurant Falken Wiedikon (22. August 2022)
I have been to the Falken Wiedikon twice before, but both times in the context of the annual ‘Metzgete’. Today was the first time I was visiting the Falken Wiedikon in the context of a ‘regular’ visit. Given I was not that starving, I decided to only go for a main and went for the […]
A very mediocre shisha bar I will avoid in the future: Pershing XVII Shisha Bar (11. July 2022)
The Pershing XVII Shisha Bar is a rather simple place. The whole thing is about 5 by 3 meters big and has a few seats where you can sit down and enjoy a shisha. To be fair, the place is tiny though, and you have to be a bit patient since the waiter ain’t really […]
A place you should definitely NOT visit when you’re in Strasbourg: Restaurant L’Ancienne Douane (2. July 2022)
There is a very good reason why I don’t go to restaurants which are rated below 4.0 on Google. And once more, I was right to generally follow that rule. Somehow we ended up here anyway – and it was a mistake. To be fair though, the large balcony which is facing the river is […]
A decent place to work but not recommended to eat: Restaurant @ ibis Styles Colmar Centre (1. July 2022)
The ibis Styles Colmar Centre offers something like a co-working space. To be honest, it’s not really a co-working space, but you are allowed to work in their lobby area for free – the only condition being that you have to consume a beverage. Since I spent a few hours working there, that condition wasn’t […]
A place to avoid at all cost – not even for free: Mosaic Brasserie @ Radisson Blu Beach Resort, Milatos Crete (24. June 2022)
Talking about a huge no-go, then that’s the Radisson Blu Beach Resort, Milatos Crete. Okay, to be fair, the whole thing is quite okay in terms of looks and location and facilities. But it’s not really service oriented. Checking in took 20 minutes, but not because there were other guests, but because they are slow, […]
Quite a disappointment really: Lobby Lounge Restaurant & Bar @ The Fairmont Monte Carlo (17. June 2022)
This is one of the experiences where you are misled by what the pictures online promise you, but it won’t live up to the expectations. The Lobby Lounge restaurant is exactly that, a lobby lounge restaurant. So, you might say, one could realize that if you checked the name of the place. Fair enough. However, […]
