When you visit a restaurant a decade later again: Restaurant Kimchi Princess (19. April 2026)
When I did my regular check-in I always do at restaurants, I was ‘shown’ that I had been here back in May 2016, which was quite a surprise since I really couldn’t remember that. Once I checked it (see here), I remembered that I had been to this place and with whom. Funny enough, the […]
Absolutely delicious food – but the service isn’t on top of things: Restaurant Fleischerei (18. April 2026)
The restaurant operates exactly as the name promises – it has a strong focus on meat! Hence, it was time to try some meat dishes and I started with the “beef croquettes, celery, port shallots” (EUR 12.00), which were – truly – tasty. Especially the shallots worked very well together with the croquettes! As a […]
The owners really make the difference here: Restaurant Da Piada (18. April 2026)
Alvarro and his wife really make a difference here. They are friendly, attentive, and really make sure that you’re taken care of. So, if you’re in for a bit of unforgettable ‘truly Italian experience’, then the Da Piada is a good choice. We had the “vitello tonnato” (EUR 12.50), which was quite fine … … […]
Quite decent tacos, but what is it with the pineapple? Restaurant Xolo @ The Playce (18. April 2026)
It was rather late (around 2pm) for a regular lunch, so, it was good to get into a food hall to grab something there. I was personally surprised how full the place still was given the time. That being said, I ordered some “tacos al pastor (grilled pork marinated in orange juice, achiote, guajillo chilli […]
Quite a decent breakfast selection – and empty if you’re there before 7am: Restaurant Roomers @ Roomers Frankfurt Central, Autograph Collection (17. April 2026)
I was surprised to find a completely empty breakfast room at 6:50am – seems like people don’t like to get up early in Frankfurt! Which also allowed me to check out the buffet peacefully without anyone standing in front of the goods. They start from cold cuts to roast beef to peeled tomatoes. And I […]
An interesting find in a shabby area of Frankfurt – close to the main station: Restaurant Yaldy (16. April 2026)
I was looking for a place, which would offer something nice for dinner close to the hotel, and not way too expensive, so, I ended up in the Yaldy. Given they have a small, but nice menu, I went for a few ‘starters’ starting with the “baguette & pepper parmigiano butter” (EUR 6.00). The baguette […]
Your perfect little neighbourhood café for a Sunday breakfast: Restaurant Balu Coffee (12. April 2026)
The Balu Coffee is a typical neighbourhood café, which excels through creating all dishes by themselves. That starts with the simple, yet delicious “garlic bun” (EUR 7.50), which is full of flavor. Sure, not easy on the stomach, but man, it’s tasty! The “Benedict (smashed avocado, topped with two poached eggs, hollandaise sauce, fresh herb […]
Excellent kimchi and superb tan tan men ramen: Restaurant Takumi NINE 2 (11. April 2026)
I’m not too often a fan of “kimchi” (EUR 5.20) as I find it is often too sour and not well-balanced, but in this particular instance, the kimchi was actually highly enjoyable as it was nicely seasoned, had the perfect size for a bite, and was flavorful. So, definitely a great kimchi you should try. […]
