Hyped and absolutely disappointing: Restaurant To The Bone (7. December 2025)
Just a huge wow! And not a positive one! This place is so hyped and definitely doesn’t deliver! But let me start from the beginning. You’re seated swiftly and they take your jackets. So, all in all, the beginning was okay. That being said, I felt the atmosphere wasn’t too appealing, but maybe that was […]
A close to perfect experience – with mistakes on the bill: Restaurant 893 Ryōtei (6. December 2025)
It’s a good 2.5 years ago since I’ve last been to the 893 Ryotei, and I was definitely looking forward to it again! This time, luckily, I got seated at the counter right in front of the head chef – which was fascinating observing him, how he would prepare (almost) every single dish in a […]
Delicious vegan ramen where you wouldn’t expect it: Restaurant Shisomen Vegan Ramen & Cocktails (6. December 2025)
I felt like I wanted to give cauliflower another try, so, I decided to go for the “Yasai Karaage (crispy tempura cauliflower, herb mayonnaise, vegan Parmesan, and fresh baby salad; light, aromatic, and simply delicious)” (EUR 6.50), which turned out to be surprisingly delicious. I mean, sure, it was not the superbly best dish of […]
A great experience in a former prison for women: Restaurant Lovis (5. December 2025)
The Lovis was on my to do list for quite a while already, so, it was about time to give it a try. We went for the “6-course tasting menu” (EUR 99.00) with the “wine pairing” (EUR 65.00), which started with a “brioche with mushroom cream and pickled red onions” and that sounded promising for […]
Decent dishes in a decent atmosphere with friendly service: Restaurant +84 Vegan Kitchen & Asian Deli (4. December 2025)
I don’t always find it easy to pick a dish, but the “delicious du du (fresh green papaya salad, carrots, bell pepper, Vietnamese herbs and peanuts, home-made dressing & sesame rice crackers)” (EUR 8.50) was kind of an obvious choice for me. The salad is refreshing and, overall, lovely in terms of flavor profile. The […]
A lovely new Ramen place with room for improvement in terms of orchestration: Restaurant Fukagawa Ramen (23. November 2025)
The Fukagawa Ramen opened about a month ago, and you can still feel that. Things are coordinated, but not yet fully in swing, as some things still need some adjustments like the interior design (the lamps are not yet final) and the service orchestration leaves room for improvement. As a starter, I went for the […]
Great hand-made noodles, which are served in the blink of an eye: Restaurant Wen Cheng 1 Berlin-Schönhauser (16. November 2025)
Since I’ve had hand-made noodles back in Singapore and London earlier this year, I kind of really enjoy these a lot. So, the Wen Cheng seemed like a great place to do exactly that. But before going for the noodles, the “smashed cucumber salad (smashed cucumber, garlic, soy sauce, vinegar, Sichuan pepper, sesame, chili oil)” […]
A great egg sandwich to start your day – if you’re patient: Restaurant Breggs (16. November 2025)
Not sure if I ever actually enjoyed an egg sandwich, but today was the day. I went for the “Bacon Me Crazy (scrambled egg, beef bacon, cheddar, Breggs sauce, special sauce, chives)” (EUR 9.00) with “extra bacon” (EUR 2.00), which took them quite a while to prepare, but once you take a bite of that […]
