A traditional Bavarian restaurant in the middle of nowhere with good food and inattentive service: Restaurant Gasthof zur Post Aufkirchen (23. July 2026)
The Gasthof zur Post in Aufkirchen is what you would call a traditional Bavarian restaurant. And I must say that I was really looking forward to it. Given it was already late, we decided to go straight for the main course and I picked the “Original schnitzel from Vienna made from veal (baked in butter, […]
A delicious modern option for Bavarian Cuisine: Restaurant Elsa (22. July 2026)
I hadn’t heard of the Elsa before, so, I was quite interested to try out their cuisine, and it turned out to be traditional Bavarian cuisine. We started with “bread from Vinschgau (salted butter, lard, parsley)” (EUR 6.50) to get started. I must say that the bread was dense, but tasty, and on top of […]
Outstandingly tasty ramen noodles with a mouth-watering broth: Restaurant Slurp Nudelbar Bahnhof (22. July 2026)
It’s a bit ago since I’ve last been to the Slurp Nudelbar in Munich, but given it was in walking distance, I figured this place might also be nice for lunch. And it turns out, it is – they offer the same as in the evening plus a few things more, but I still wanted […]
A lovely drinks concept with drinks in bags, but mediocre food: Pool Bar @ Hotel Helvetia (21. July 2026)
Whenever I hear about a new pop-up in Zurich, I will inquire and try to visit it within the first few weeks. I wasn’t even aware that the Hotel Helvetia had a pool bar, and all the more I was surprised that they had a pop-up. Now, that pop-up is really a kind of regular […]
A great lunch option – before Tomorrowland and any other day: Restaurant Album (18. July 2026)
Given I had a full day of Tomorrowland ahead of me, I decided that I needed to eat something before to have sufficient energy for the day, and found the Album. I found the name a little surprising (not necessarily a name I would pick for a restaurant), but it turned out that it is […]
A decent flight experience, but just not the same as in First: Flight BKK – ZRH (LX181) (17. July 2026)
After flying First to Bangkok, the flight back in Business is obviously nothing you can compare, especially regarding the ground experience as well as the inflight experience. However, the food was quite fair. As a starter, you get “bread with butter” and “tomato and burrata mousse with eggplant salad and balsamic pearls”. The salad is […]
An absolutely outstanding dining experience – on every level at No. 22 of The World’s 50 Best: Restaurant Sühring (16. July 2026)
Once you have entered the Sühring, you realise immediately that they are on another level (of course, the 3 Michelin stars at the entrance are a give-away here). You’re briefly seated in the entrance area until your table is ready … … and then brought to your table where the crew welcomes you and you’re […]
A lovely (insecure) view over Bangkok with interesting drinks: The Speakeasy @ Hotel Muse, Autograph Collection (15. July 2026)
On the first visit to the Hotel Muse, there was somehow no time to visit the bar on the top floor, but today, it worked out. So, The Speakeasy (which isn’t well hidden, tbh) offers an unobstructed view over the skyline of Bangkok (at least parts of it) and is in thus far interesting as […]
