As the eruption under the Eyjaflalla glacier in Iceland kept me on the ground yesterday, together with half a million other people in Europe, and I found myself confronted with the question of what to do with another evening in Cambridge. So I decided to give the Oak Bistro a try which is just a […]

For the second time I took guest to the La Mimosa in Cambridge and it was as flawless as the first evening. La Mimosa has both a beautiful location and a very nice menu – solid, no-nonsense Italian food. In the summer you can site outside directly at Jesus green at
Today was the absolute highlight in my culinary life. I had lunch at the fabulous restaurant “Schwarzwald Stube”, headed by Harald Wohlfahrt, one of Germany’s 3-Michelin-Star chefs. We went for the great 7 course menu which kept us entertained for about 4.5 hours. Following an amuse bouche, we started with tartar and mousse of mildly […]

The building is nicely set in park-like estate, unfortunately directly located at a busy street.

On September 27, 2007 I had the pleasure to stay at Hotel “Felix”, Whitehouse Lane, Huntingdon Road, Cambridge, UK, for two nights. The Felix’s location is a bit far away in the north, too far to walk if you have a heavy backpack with you. Although quite near to Huntingdon road, the heavy traffic is […]
The “Roka” is a wonderfully hidden place to end you day in Oia, difficult to find but only a minute away from the main marble walk way along the border of the caldera. The dishes as well as the house wine are all perfectly prepared, the service friendly and the prices extremely adequate. We tend […]
This was perfect. The restaurant “1800” is situated beautifully in the center of the town of Oia, right next to the small marble walk way that passes along the border of the caldera. You can either sit inside, on the roof garden (we went for this option) and in a small front court, seperated from […]
