An excellent lunch option with a few surprising dishes: Restaurant Xavier Pellicer (21. February 2026)
Usually, the whole table has to go with the same menu, which I always find a little bit annoying (while I do, of course, understand why the kitchen prefers it that way). Luckily, this wasn’t the cae at the Xavier Pellicer and you could order different menus at the same time – the only condition […]
A decent breakfast selection in a nice atmosphere: Restaurant Alcachofa @ Labtwentytwo Barcelona, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel (21. February 2026)
The last time I had been here is roughly 2 years ago, so, I was somehwat curious to see how things had evolved. The Labtwentytwo remains a decent hotel and has a simple, but appealing breakfast ranging from cold cuts, vegetables, and fruit … … to tortilla … … different types of bread … … […]
Always a safe bet for proper Swiss food – and a place to play cards: Restaurant Werdguet (19. February 2026)
As I meet with my friends from the army on a regular basis to play cards, I end up here also on a regular basis. I started with a “caesar salad (iceberg salad, shaved cheese, bacon cubes)” (CHF 11.00), which was actually quite tasty. Sure, the intensity of the bacon definitely adds to the experience […]
A decent breakfast, but definitely too expensive: Restaurant Le Potager @ Le Méridien Munich (19. February 2026)
I must admit, it’s a while ago since I’ve last enjoyed breakfast at the Le Potager at the Le Méridien Munich. And frankly, I kind of remember why, because EUR 42.00 for a breakfast buffet during the week (and I mean, if it’s the weekend, and you spend hours here, it’s a little different) is […]
A place, which opened just three weeks ago – and is worth visiting: Restaurant Casele (18. February 2026)
Admittedly, it always helps if you know the owner of the restaurant and since my friends know the owner, we were almost certain going to have a nice evening. The Casele opened approximately three weeks ago, but you cannot see that things are ‘new’ because the service works flawlessly, people are incredibly friendly, and the […]
A decent location for a swift Italian lunch: Restaurant Mariss Bar (18. February 2026)
Frankly, if it wasn’t for my friend, I don’t think I would have found this place, but luckily she knew it and we went for lunch there. I mean, from the outside, it’s really not that appealing. But once you enter, it actually looks quite decent. With the lunch menu, you’re offered a “menu salad”, which […]
Part of the ‘overrated fancy places’, but better than others: Restaurant Giorgia Trattoria (17. February 2026)
What I truly despise about these ‘fancy’ places is the fact that you will always have to wait when you book a table for a specific time slot. Oh, it’s just 15 minutes more. Well, why the heck do I book a table for a specific time, and I’m asked to be on time to […]
Better food than expected with a messy service approach: Restaurant Viet Rice (15. February 2026)
I had walked by this place quite a few times by now and somehow the place was either not open or I just didn’t feel like entering, but given it was open on a Sunday and we needed something warm, we gave it a try. I started with the “Sup Tom Kha (coconut soup with […]
