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 … … […]
A surprisingly good lunch buffet – in terms of quality of the food: Restaurant Sueños @ Club Med Magna Marbella (12. September 2025)
Frankly, the lunch selection at the Sueños is one of the most luscious buffets I’ve ever seen. It really offers everything you could potentially want and imagine – and the quality of the food is, surprisingly to me, given the large number of people eating here each and every meal of the day, is quite […]
A truly local place and, frankly, quite a lovely one: Restaurant Es Ventall (2. September 2025)
For the last evening on Ibiza, it was time to go for something more traditional, so I wanted to try a few different dishes and went for the “empanada de ternera con verduras, mahonesa de ají y cilantro” (EUR 5.00) to start with, which was actually not only great in terms of flavor but also […]
So overrated it’s hard to believe this is even a thing on Ibiza: Beachouse Club (2. September 2025)
Honestly, why this place even has a right to exist is a miracle to me! Sure, the interior design of the hut and restaurant is rather lovely, no questions asked. Everything else isn’t so much. I decided to go for a sunbed, which accounts for 220 EUR and includes four tin cans of water (a […]
A very hyped place, which is on top of their service – but it’s still hyped: Restaurant La Paloma (1. September 2025)
The La Paloma is the latest shit on Ibiza. Whatever blog you’re looking at or whatever place you’re asking, everyone is recommending the La Paloma, and part of me gets why. The place is rather beautiful, and the service is really on top of stuff. That is all the more surprising because ultimately, the place […]
The perfect place for a lunch break on Formentera: Restaurant Pikala (1. September 2025)
The Pikala was a lucky find – driving by on the bicycle led to the decision to have lunch here. And it was a great decision. The place has two parts – a proper restaurant with beach view, and a little lounge at the back of the restaurant. Since the view from the restaurant is […]
Southern France restaurant with the equivalent food quality: Restaurant Aubergine (31. August 2025)
When you enter the Aubergine, you’re immediately taken to the South of France – just from the way the restaurant is set up. I decided to give an interesting drink a try, and went for the “Beyond the Mediterranean (mezcal, agua de tomate herbal, mix dulce-amarga con fino, crujiente de jamón)” (EUR 17.00), which was […]
