Glockenbachviertel: Bergwolf

One of my favourite areas in Munich is the Glockenbackviertel around Frauenhofferstrasse. It is all about cute boutiques, artists, gays and lots of bars. My friends and I end up there most of the evenings for a cocktail or bar food.. As we did yesterday. 

After a cocktail in one of the bars, my friend started getting hungry and was talking all along about this Currywurst place Bergwolf in the Frauenhofer Strasse. Well, I did not expect much if a curry sausage place being a veggie but this place is so cool and added to my regulars now.
 Bergwolf is a place you go to when you get hungry in the middle of a night out - it is open until 3am weekends. Besides the normal Currywurst with fries for only 3,50 € they do yummie veggie version. They have a smallish but cozy lounge to sit in and drink beer, too. 

I am in love with this place!

Best Fish Restaurants in West Cork

Here is my top 5 list of the best fish restaurants in West Cork, Ireland:

All of these restaurants provide freshly caught local seafood and each of them is in its way special!


  • Mary Ann's Bar & Seafood Restaurant in Casteltownshend serves pub & restaurant food and has a large outside area. The dinner menu includes a wide selection of fish, their speciality are lobster thermidor or lobster mayonnaise. The food usually comes with veggies, chips & gratin potatoes (love it!). Check also out their gallery in the first floor!
  • Deasy's Harbour Bar & Seafood Restaurant in Ring just 5 mins from Clonakilty has a lovely view over the Clonakilty Bay and a nice and relaxing atmosphere. The menu changes regularly and offers creative fish and meat dishes. Dishes come with veggies and potatoes. Don't miss out on the dessert!
  • Fishy Fishy Cafe in Kinsale is a bright and stylish restaurant influenced by the European mainland cousin with an own cook book and a open area. Dishes come usually with veg or salad. 
  • Fastnet Catch across the church in Clonakilty is a special fish & chips shop with a great selection of burgers & fresh fish depending on the catch of the day. All is freshly prepared with your order and you can sit in or take away.
  • Dunes Pub in the Inchydoney Lodge & Spa serves a fair big but delicious portion of fish & chips in a great setting! Besides the fish & chips, my favourites on the menu are the cheese sandwich and the side salad. Oh, and the hot chocolate is also not to be forgotten. In nice weather there are cozy outside places available.

I would recommend to make a reservation in advance on weekends to avoid disappointment.

And, if you are looking for a nice fish restaurant somewhere else on the island check out the Seafood Circle - you never go wrong with a restaurant which is listed in it!

Dublin Food

Looking for something to eat in Dublin, Ireland?

Here are my favourite places depending on the type of food I feel like:
  • Best Breakfast is served in Odessa, 13 Dame Court! The breakfast menu includes huevos rancheros, veggie breakfast, all sorts of eggs and much more. Have a cocktail with your breakfast to celebrate! Check out the chill out area downstairs!
  • Need a good coffee? Carluccio's Restaurant & Shop, 52 Dawson Street is the place to get it! Depending on your coffee taste pick between the Napoli and the Milano coffee bean! If you are hungry have food in the restaurant or ask for a take away Foccacia - food is as delicious as their coffee!
  • The best authentic Italian Pizza in town you will get in Bar Italia, Ormond Quay.
    Stay upstairs as downstairs is not as nice and don't miss out on the dessert!
  • Feel like Veggie Food? Cornucopia Wholefood & Vegetarian in 19/20 Wicklow Street since 1986 will not disappoint you, the menu changes everyday and the portions are huge.
  • Queens of Tarts has the best scones and cakes in town and is the sweetest coffee place ever. There are two of them these days in Dame Street and Cows Lane quite close to each other.
  • Fallon & Byrne, Exchequer Street is the best Food Hall with healthy food! They have also great Lunch Deals at the moment. Check out the wine cellar with a great wine selection downstairs!
  • Best place to get away from the city buzz is the Library Bar in the first floor of the Central Hotel, Exchequer Street. Come here with friends or a book and have a cup of tea or hot whiskey!
  • For best Fish & Chips go to Leo Burdocks, 2 Werburgh Street. They have been there since 1913!
  • Want Japanese Food? I'll recommend Yamamori Noodles in 72 South George's Street or Yamamori Sushi in Lower Ormond Quay (the menues are almost identical) - they serve Sushi, Japanese Grill & noodles. My favourite is the monkfish dish!
  • My favourite Pub Restaurant is a bit outside city - just after Phoenix Park. Hole in the Wall in Blackhorse Avenue offers a great wine selection, nice bar and restaurant food and a great atmosphere! Even Prince Albert from Monaco paid a visit last year!

I hope you will enjoy these places as I do each time!
