The perfect place to enjoy a glass of wine in the sun: The Rooftop Terrace @ Hotel de Rome (24. June 2023)
It is a few years ago since I’ve last been on The Rooftop Terrace of the Hotel de Rome in Berlin. Back then, it was in the context of a wedding, and it was quite nice and enjoyable. But back then, it was also less exclusive, i.e., you didn’t have to book your time to […]
Relatively disappointing overall, but interesting ice cream flavours: Duo @ Italian Street Food Festival Berlin (24. June 2023)
Given the Italian Street Food Festival happened in Berlin when I was there, I figured it’s worth giving it a try. In all honesty, though, I was missing a bit of the ‘special’, i.e., you would get what you expect, which is Italian food in one or the other way. Personally, though, the place felt […]
Good but not sure as good as it is labelled to be: Curry 36 Mehringdamm (24. June 2023)
Apparently, the Curry 36 was once nominated as ‘the best currywurst’ and well, might be, but for me it’s hard to judge. Sure, it was tasty, and it went well with the fries (which were nicely crispy), but honestly, for me it was very hard to say if these “two curried sausages with French fries” […]
Absolutely the best sashimi I had in my life so far: Restaurant 893 Ryōtei (23. June 2023)
The 893 Ryōtei is a place, which was on my to-do list for years! However, every time I intended to go, it didn’t work out as the place is always booked out way in advance. Hence, you really need to plan this ahead and make sure you do your booking with quite a bit of […]
A nice bar with a decent selection of gin-based drinks: House of Gin (23. June 2023)
Before another food moment, it was time to get a break with drinks, so the House of Gin sounded like a good place to do so. When you go there around 6pm, it’s relatively empty, but they are swift and friendly, making sure you have everything you want and need. I went for the “Gin […]
Delicious gaos and baos in a food hall: Bao Gao Club 包餃會 @ Markthalle Neun (23. June 2023)
It’s been a while since I’ve been to the Markthalle Neun and after a super rainy day, it was the perfect place to warm up a bit over a few tasty bites. We went to the “Bao Gao Club 包餃會” and ordered the “CaiRou Bao (fluffy steamed buns with minced pork, spring onion and shiitake […]
Average at best is what you get in the food area of the KaDeWe: Cinco Jotas @ KaDeWe (23. June 2023)
It was time to return to the 6th level of the KaDeWe and spend some time there to get some tasty dishes. We went for a “bocadillo tradition (acorn ham on white bread with tomato tapenade and fresh diced tomatoes)” (EUR 9.90), which was quite okay. I mean, sure, nothing exciting, but the Jamon Iberico […]
A highly overrated and overpriced Michelin star experience: Restaurant Irma La Douce (22. June 2023)
It seemed to be ‘the day of the pastrami’ since I already have had pastrami for lunch, so, I was a bit surprised that we got served “pastrami butter and nut butter” with the … … bread. And I must say, both butters were actually enjoyable, and so was the bread. So, as a starting […]
