A lunch experience over the roofs of Berlin, where you need time: Dachgarten-Restaurant Käfer im Deutschen Bundestag (11. May 2025)
To have lunch here, proper planning is key, because the Käfer is at the top of the German Bundestag, which means you can only get in if you have signed up previously, plus, you will have to go through a security process to get in there. Hence, you should be there about 20-30 minutes before […]
A unique experience of food, surroundings, and photography: Restaurant Verōnika (10. May 2025)
The Verōnika was a marvelous recommendation – frankly, this place manages to combine style, class, and good food with good service – and all of it for a fair price. Once you’re seated and have placed your order, you’re served “bread & butter” and the bread is this light, buttery brioche, which is so enjoyable. […]
Decent food but somehow not the best atmosphere: Restaurant Mizumi (10. May 2025)
The Mizumi is a place, which doesn’t look too appealing from the outside – but it actually improves a bit when you walk inside since it’s clean, orderly, and overall fine, while from the outside it looks a bit rocked down. Once inside, I was quite hungry, so I figured to get a few things […]
Simple Indian-style dishes for an incredible bargain price: Restaurant Ganesha (27. February 2025)
I do enjoy these Indian style places in Germany because they offer you simple comfort food for an incredible bargain price. The lunch started with a “salad”, which was okay. I mean, you can see, there isn’t too much here, but it was okay. The “butter chicken” (EUR 10.50) was actually that – buttery chicken, […]
Simple Italian dishes with friendly service: Restaurant Marinella Trattoria (26. February 2025)
It turned out to be surprisingly hard to find a nice place to eat close to where I was staying in Munich – and finally, we ended up in the Marinella Trattoria. Given I was starving a little, I decided to go for the “Insalata Pomodoro e Cipolla” (EUR 7.50) to start, which was okay […]
An interesting journey through tasty dishes with a marvelous view over Frankfurt: Restaurant Franziska (15. January 2025)
If you decide to dine at the Franziska, then you definitely have to keep in mind that you can only order a tasting menu. The standard version of the “tasting menu” accounts for EUR 99.90 and offers you a choice for each course but the amuse bouche, which starts with a “handkäse (spherified curdled milk […]
False pretenses and a verbally intrusive waiter: Restaurant Les Deux (26. October 2024)
Incomplete information is the best description of what happened when I had called to book. The Les Deux has various ‘levels’ of their restaurant. I had called to get to the 1 Michelin Star restaurant, however, that wasn’t really what had happened since they placed us in the restaurant on the ground floor, which is […]
A lovely wine bar with a Bavarian twist: Restaurant Weinbar Griabig (26. October 2024)
The Weinbar Griabig is not a place I probably would have walked into, since it looks rather tiny and crowded from the outside. But, once you’re inside, you are welcomed by a warm and lovely atmosphere, which is rather traditional since it’s mainly held in wood. I went for the “pork roast salad (with croutons, […]
