Café-Hopping in Berlin


Last week I've been to Berlin. The weather was almost unbearable, so hot and steamy....therefore we spent most of the time drinking iced coffee in some lovely cafés. Here are some snapshots of my new favourite cafés in Berlin, which where recommended by Berlin experts...thanks for the good advice!

Munich - Restaurants & Bars

Munich - I love being back home. For me Munich is a place of total relaxation, it's actually quiet in the night. Compared to London, a village, but an amazingly beautiful one!
Anyways, last time I was writing about some Munich hotspots, restaurants especially. Reading about them is the one thing, but to actually have a look at some photos the other thing. Or at least I always want to see photos! Here we go, I went to some nice restaurant the last week and took some snapshots!


Zum Goldenen Kalb - one of the best steaks in town. But even if you don't like steak, the lobster soup and the tuna tartar was amazing as well. I had some artichokes as a starter and afterwards a steak with some veggies. Medium, perfectly tender...food porn!
The dessert was a delight as well.





If you fancy some drinks in a very nice atmosphere - Schumanns is the place to go. I go there every now and then when I'm in Munich, for a coffee in the sun or some cocktails in the evenings.


Always a treat! Zest in Munich's heart is a very nice bar and restaurant. From Clubsandwich, over tapas  to tartar...there is something for every one! 


If you are a Vietnamese food fan, I have a top recommendation: Nguyen! I love the duck, super crispy and tender. But what I like the most, is the rice paper rolls. Not normal rice paper rolls, which you get ready to eat, no, you have to roll them yourself. Trust me, that's fun. You get about 6 rice papers and a lot of ingredients, just out them on the rice paper and roll it! Very nice indeed...


Aroma Kaffee Bar is located in an area called Glockenbachviertel, where you can find cool places and cafés. Aroma Bar is a very cosy and cute café, offering sweet and savoury treats, a unique interior and good coffee...

Gitane - London




You know those unforgettable girls city trips? Those you keep talking about over and over...? For me one of those city trip is definitely New York City. There was one small café we did really like and had amazing breakfast, called Café Gitane (NoLita). So to take a trip down memory lane I met my friend for coffee at Gitane today, this time in London instead of NYC. 

Gitane is a lovely Persian and Middle Eastern café with delicious food and lovely staff. I love those small cafés with a wooden counter, fresh and delicious food, good coffee, where you can sit and chit chat with friends in a cosy atmosphere. 

If you need a relaxed break, Gitane is the place to go! Close to Oxford Street, right next to busy and famous Kaffeine. I'm already looking forward to spring time...sitting on Gitane's cute purple chairs outside in the sun.

202 London

Sunday brunch...who ever invented breakfast + lunch = brunch is genius. I love it, brunch is so lazy (in a positive way) and relaxed. I could literally brunch the whole day. This Sunday we met at 202 London in Notting Hill for brunch. 






202 London is a kind of concept store where fashion meets trendy café. We had to queue for about 20 minutes but it was definitely worth it. The eggs florentine were super delicious, as well as the bagel with wild smoked salmon and cream cheese (is that breakfast or lunch?). 
The 202 Club Sandwich with roast chicken, bacon and egg was absolutely mouth-watering. For dessert we tried the buttermilk and ricotta pancakes with creme fraîche, maple syrup and fruit compote. Delicious! 

The service was really friendly and pleasant although it was busy. The ambience is lively and the people are sophisticated. Once you are done with your delicious food have a look downstairs and browse through fancy cloths, books and furniture...A really nice place to eat, shop and relax.
