As a party of three, we had a fantastic time at Kalaveras! The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, especially since we’re not from the US and needed some assistance with the menu. Our waiter suggested that a taco and a burrito might be too much food, which we appreciated. We decided to try all the different tacos available, and one of us had a burrito. The food was absolutely delicious, and the staff made our dining experience even better with their attentiveness and great recommendations. Highly recommend this place for both the food and the service!

Vanavond hebben we gegeten bij de nieuwe locatie van Yuki sushi aan de haven. Het fijne is dat Yuki nu een terras voor de deur heeft, zodat je bij mooi weer buiten kunt dineren. Het nieuwe restaurant is stijlvol ingericht met Japanse thema's en heeft zeer comfortabele stoelen. Chefkok Daisuke Yuki verwelkomde ons persoonlijk en vriendelijk. Hij vind het leuk dat we de nieuwe locatie al hadden gevonden.

Het was weer geweldig; de kwaliteit is zoveel beter dan de 'fabriekssushi' die je op sommige plekken krijgt. Alles was met zorg en toewijding bereid.

De ene helft van onze tafel koos voor het 'Flavors of Life' menu, terwijl de andere helft het Fantasy menu selecteerde. Beide menu's begonnen met diverse sushi. Het Fantasy menu vervolgde met een selectie van overheerlijke sashimi, met zalm en tonijn in twee bereidingen en een stukje coquille met een heerlijke topping.

Daarna bevatte het Fantasy menu een aantal dragon rolls, waarbij elke roll een nieuwe smaakexplosie bood. Het Flavors of Life menu bood een stukje gebakken zalm, verfijnd gekruid op een bedje van sla. Daar had voor mij overigens nog wel een beetje rijst bij gemogen.

Als afsluiter kregen we een grand dessert met dorayaki, ijs en een stukje crème cake. Daarnaast bestelden we een side dish van crispy chicken, die zo populair aan tafel was dat we al snel een tweede portie erbij bestelden. Al met al waren we zeer tevreden.

The Brasserie am Gendarmenmarkt in Berlin offers a delightful culinary experience, seamlessly blending traditional flavors with modern flair. The pumpkin soup, a standout starter, impresses with its creamy texture and a harmonious blend of spices, providing a comforting yet sophisticated taste. The beef stew, the highlight of the meal, is a masterful display of culinary artistry. Tender, succulent pieces of veal are simmered to perfection, enveloped in a rich, flavorful sauce that complements the meat's natural flavors. Accompanied by a fresh, crisp side salad, the meal achieves a satisfying balance. The brasserie's ambiance, characterized by elegance and a warm, welcoming atmosphere, enhances the dining experience, making it a must-visit destination for both locals and tourists seeking authentic, high-quality German cuisine in Berlin.

From the moment I stepped into the magnificent PalaisPopulaire in Berlin, I knew I was in for an extraordinary experience. This grand edifice, a blend of historical architecture and modern elegance, sets the stage for one of the most exhilarating contemporary art exhibitions I have ever encountered.

As I wandered through the spacious halls, I was mesmerized by the vibrant and thought-provoking collection of contemporary art. Each piece, carefully curated and beautifully displayed, spoke volumes about the current trends and perspectives in the art world. The diversity of the artworks, ranging from abstract paintings to interactive installations, provided a broad spectrum of aesthetic and conceptual experiences.

One of the highlights of the PalaisPopulaire is undoubtedly its commitment to showcasing a wide array of artists, from well-established names to emerging talents. This blend not only adds depth to the exhibition but also reflects the dynamic nature of contemporary art. It was inspiring to see the fresh and innovative approaches of new artists juxtaposed with the masterful works of more experienced practitioners.

Furthermore, the museum's staff deserves special mention for their knowledge and passion. Their insights added a rich layer of understanding to my experience, making my visit not just a visual delight but also an educational journey.

In conclusion, the PalaisPopulaire is a must-visit destination for anyone with a keen interest in contemporary art. Its stunning location, exceptional collection, and engaging atmosphere make it a standout among Berlin's cultural offerings. This museum is not just a place to view art; it's a place to experience the pulse of the current art world. Highly recommended!

Revisiting the refined flavors of Asia at Asian Glories in Rotterdam, we were warmly greeted at their new venue on Westewagenstraat. This fresh setting, while taking some getting used to, reaffirms the restaurant's high caliber.
