14 years have passed since my last visit – and prices have increased: Restaurant Zum Goldenen Kalb (17. December 2025)
The last time I’ve been to Zum Goldenen Kalb back in 2011, so, things have changed, one would assume. Now, what I can definitely say is that the prices have increased significantly. Other than that, luckily, the place wasn’t full, so, I decided to give it ago and return. To get started, I went for […]
Great food, friendly service, slow kitchen, and loud atmosphere: Restaurant Obalski (16. December 2025)
I wasn’t quite what to expect from the Obalski given I hadn’t heard about it, but I must say, it was a nice surprise. I went for the “pork belly (leek onion, teriyaki, black sesame)” (EUR 13.50) as a starter and the pork belly was absolutely delicious. It had the perfect texture and the right […]
If you’re into meat, this place is quite great: Restaurant The ASH (9. December 2025)
We went for the “starter plate for two people (black tiger prawns, prime beef bites, beetroot falafel, pimentos de padrón, aioli, bread)” (EUR 19.90), which looked a bit small at first, but actually turned out not only to be enough to get started, but was also rather delicious all in all. Even better was the […]
A decent place, but not optimal for a business context: Restaurant Bi Béo (3. December 2025)
The Bi Béo is quite a nice place, but has two major flaws – one being the fact that the whole thing is relatively crowded, i.e., the tables are close to each other, which increases the volume inside the small space quite massively. Secondly, the atmosphere is relatively dark, which makes it probably fine for […]
If you’re patient, the food is quite good – but not great if you’re in a rush: Restaurant Dona Linda (26. November 2025)
Given I hadn’t tried that place, and it had a rating of 4.6 on Google, I figured I should give it a try, which I did. Booking was only possible over the phone (which isn’t entirely optimal in today’s world), but it worked. The place was almost booked out, as two walk-ins were told that […]
Really not an amazing place you’d want to revisit while they are rebuilding: Lobby Bar @ Roomers Munich (12. November 2025)
Due to the lack of options in the hotel (almost all restaurants are being renovated), I ended up in the Lobby Bar of the Roomers Munich and decided to go for something simple like a “Caesar Salad (romaine lettuce, Parmesan, croutons, baked capers, baguette)” (EUR 19.00) and added “crispy chicken” (EUR 10.00). Overall, the salad […]
Decent Greek-style food in a simple atmosphere: Restaurant Taverna Pantis (11. November 2025)
I wasn’t quite sure what to eat, so, I went for something in the vicinity of the hotel and stumbled upon the Taverna Pantis, which is a Greek restaurant, as the name gives away. The place is simple, but nice, plays (a bit too loud) Greek music, and has friendly and attentive service. I went […]
I’ve been here already – 15 years ago: Restaurant Q&Q Asian Fusion Kitchen (5. November 2025)
Back in the days when I had my very first assignment abroad, I was working close to this place – called differently back then – and had eaten here before. The interior is still the very same, the staff seems to be the same, and all is kind of the same. Although I don’t really […]
