Memories and hints of a travelling IT professional.
Nowadays burger bars a spreading like mushrooms throughout German cities. But this one was already there before the hype and is kind of special: Die Kuh, die lacht in Frankfurt am Main, close to the old European Central Bank (Willy-Brandt-Platz).

Located in the Nordstadt of Hannover, you can get excellent cocktails and good, priceworthy food. The venue has a well styled design and is close to the garden section of Hannover.

So I needed to try this stew of beans with meat, meat and … meat. Close to “my” metro station General Orsório in Ipanema I found a good restaurant that only serves this meal.

Directly at the Praia do Canto in Vila do Abraão you’ll find the Restaurante Lua & Mar (luna and sea). You can sit directly at the shore, at daytime under a shadow-giving tree and enjoy good Brazilian sea food. I had my best dish in Brazil here: moqueca de camarones – fish stew with shrimps and coconut milk. Absolutely gorgeous.

Café do Mar – that sounds like summertime, surfing, sun and cocktails. And that’s absolutely what it is. Sometimes they are making barbecues, but this place is by then absolutely overcrowded. Best come here in the afternoon and enjoy a nice coconut milkshake.

Is your last trip to Switzerland already too far away? If you want to enjoy some traditional Swiss meals the “Matterhorn-Stübli” is the place for you! Located in “Bad Wilhelmshöhe” close to the Schloss Wilhelmshöhe in Kassel, you can feel like rather being close to the Alps.
Continue reading “Matterhorn-Stübli”The first thing you recognize about the wine bar “Fröhlich” is that it is within the red light district of Stuttgart. But don’t worry, the area is only as wicked as a Swabian red light district can be. The place itself is absolutely traditional and has also a nice garden for summer times.

Okay, we should not really call it a restaurant – but it is a stylish eatery serving good-quality Turkish ravioli, called Mantı (yes, that is no “i” in the end); filled dumplings served with yoghurt, garlic and sumac. After visiting Istanbul I was looking for a place like this, even if the Mantı aren’t as small in size as typical.

Close to river Ljubljanica and Čevljarski most in Ljubljana, Slovenia you will find the Paninoteka + which can fulfill your needs. It is a nice place where you can sit inside or in a quite backyard and enjoy the sun.
