http://tupalo.com/nl/users/2133 Tupalo en-us /nl/wenen/bai-taiji-studio-fam-bai I've been taking different Taiji classes for some years at the Bai studio and it is really relaxing. Usually I take Bai Lin's classes and so far I have learned the 24 and the 48 postures and started on Chan Taiji and Taiji Kung Fu Fan last year. There are many different classes (beginner and advanced level) and you can choose, if you want to take your class in the morning, during the day or in the evening. In summer we practice in the gardens of Schoenbrunn every Wednesday, which is a really nice setting. 48.2013109194068 16.3488558063049 Fri, 22 Jan 2010 10:18:58 +0000 /nl/wenen/bai-taiji-studio-fam-bai /nl/wenen/mabel-s-no-90 A vast variety of cocktails and other alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks as well as delicious food (had the chicken wings & ribs with onion rings, 2 kinds of sauces, some salad and self-made potato chips). There is a non-smoking area in the back of the pub, although it is pretty useless because the major part is a smoking area and there is no separation between the two parts. But then again this is a pub. ;-) You can sit outside in summer, which is quite nice, although there is heavy traffic around (which we didn't notice when we were there in summer, because the atmosphere of the place is nice and the cocktails are good). Come between 6pm and 8pm and dive into the "Happy Hour" - each cocktail for just 4€ as Ali said already below in his review. I guess this place will become one of my favorites and the best thing is that I live just around the corner :) 48.168787 16.37027 Fri, 22 Jan 2010 10:10:56 +0000 /nl/wenen/mabel-s-no-90 /nl/calangute/oriental They serve not only delicious Thai food, but it seems that one of their specialties is steak, since everybody around us had ordered it. The owner is a German guy, married to a Thai. They even have Wiener Schnitzel and Hungarian Goulash on their menu. Opening hours: 11am to 3pm for lunch and 6pm to 11pm for dinner I had Som Tam salad, which was really good and spicy. Unfortunately as everywhere in Goa people smoke in restaurants (quite annoying, although they are all out in the open), although India has prohibited smoking in public places (by law). I asked the owner about it and he said "here in Goa nobody cares". :( 15.5439 73.7553 Thu, 21 Jan 2010 16:43:05 +0000 /nl/calangute/oriental /nl/melbourne-victoria/caf%C3%A9-and-konditorei-kitz open Tue-Sun 08:00am - 05:00pm.

The food was good and served quite quickly. I ordered my main dish "extra spicy", but felt that it wasn't really spicy. But then I'm used to eating extremely spicy. ;-) The only thing is that the restaurant is really expensive. 6€ for 0.5l of Mango Lassi is pretty expensive and the soups start at 4€ (small portion). If you know how Indian food is prepared you wonder why it is that expensive. A thali (platter with different curries) starts at 16€ (didn't order it, though) and the main courses start somewhere at 13€. The portions are quite big, though. I couldn't finish my main course and took the rest home to eat the next day. The waitress could have been friendlier. She seemed quite impatient when one of my friends couldn't decide on what to eat and we asked her to wait for his order. 48.2042007446 16.3549003601 Wed, 20 Jan 2010 09:11:52 +0000 /nl/wenen/zum-moghulhof /nl/wenen/dr-sybille-okresek Dr. Okresek is a very nice gynecologist and has always an ear for her patients.

However, I think that they should use less oil. I had beef with chili and coriander yesterday and it was served on top of cooked rice, but "swimming" in sauce which was very oily. I didn't eat all of the rice because of that. The avocado soup a friend had didn't really taste of avocado. But the menu is different from other places and the waiter is a nice guy. 48.1855992 16.4207505 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 10:34:08 +0000 /nl/wenen/delishes /nl/wenen/der-wiener-deewan I went there two days ago and was lucky to get a table. Unfortunately the food wasn't as good as I had expected it from the former reviews. It was luke-warm, although refilled several times while I was there. I didn't like the red bean dal very much, the chicken curry was ok, but not really spicy. The ladyfinger curry was too oily and the potato curry (the menu read potato cauliflower curry, but no cauliflowers sighted) was ok. I love Indian food and Pakistani food is very similar, so I expected a lot more "flavor" and spices, but was disappointed, because the curries were quite bland. However, I paid 10€, because I had two plates (I was very hungry). The waitress was very nice, though and I liked that there is a can of tap water served for free. pakistani 48.2170762 16.3627572 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 10:18:59 +0000 /nl/wenen/der-wiener-deewan /nl/wenen/siam I have to rate it with one star although I'd prefer to rate it with zero stars. Went there a few days ago after having watched a movie at the Kuenstlerhaus Kino. I was craving good Thai food and because I had been to the "Siam" before (although years back), I thought they'd serve good Thai food. I was mistaken. When I entered a group of Thai women were sitting at the second table from the entrance, chatting away. Nobody greeted me. I said hello, only one of the women (who was NOT the waitress) replied. I went to a table to sit down. Only one other table was occupied with 4 guests (it was about 8pm). I ordered Tom Yam Gung and Green Beef Curry with rice. The soup consisted of mostly (canned?) mushrooms and a few shrimp. It tasted neither spicy, nor sour (like I would expect it). But the greatest disappointment was the "green curry". It wasn't creamy (like I'd think because of the coconut milk used), it was thin and very oily. Besides some beef there were some pota... thai 48.2013015747 16.3698005676 Fri, 06 Nov 2009 12:28:31 +0000 /nl/wenen/siam /nl/wenen/caf%C3%A9-ministerium A small café which is close to the Urania. Because I had to kill some time before going to see a movie at the Urania, I decided to take a drink there. When I entered, two tables were occupied. No ashtrays were on any table, but a man smoked at the counter. So I thought it was the no smoking section. I ordered a hot chocolate without cream and sat down to read my book. The other guests left and the waitress started to clear the tables, putting ashtrays on every table but mine (I don't smoke). 3 new guests entered and sat 3 tables away from me. One of them started smoking. I wondered why this place didn't have ashtrays on the tables when I came, but then suddenly ashtrays were put on every table although the waitress told the new guests that they would be closing in 30 min. Additional information: there seems to be another room in the back (where you go to the toilets). I couldn't find out, if this was the "real" non-smoking section, though. 48.21013 16.381895 Fri, 06 Nov 2009 12:18:42 +0000 /nl/wenen/caf%C3%A9-ministerium /nl/wenen/oasia I ordered the Thai Green Curry with rice, which was good, but not spicy at all (although it said so in the menu). The waitresses (two of them) were busy treating 6 Chinese customers who were sitting next to me, so they didn't pay much attention to me or the other guests (a couple with a child, which was about 2 years old). I think that every customer should be treated like he/she was "special", not only if they are Chinese (which apparently the owner and the waiters are). asian 48.2182006836 16.3647003174 Thu, 29 Oct 2009 16:39:59 +0000 /nl/wenen/oasia /nl/wenen/east-to-west The food is really good, but what is really disappointing is the attitude of the owner of the place. She didn't once smile or ask, if we liked the food or if we wanted anything else. Actually we felt like "intruders" when we asked for a refill of hot water for our tea. And it wasn't like the place was packed or so. She treated all the customers like that, so we were no exception. The guy who served some of the food was nice, though. asian 48.205601 16.375058 Thu, 29 Oct 2009 16:36:49 +0000 /nl/wenen/east-to-west /nl/wenen/nirvana Had the business lunch which was Mulligatawny (nice and spicy, but not too much) and a kind of "Punjabi chicken" with chickpea curry and rice. The food was very good, the waitress very friendly. Although she turned away two people who entered the place at 1:50pm, saying that the kitchen was already closed. I overheard her conversation with the chef, because two women wanted to order a dessert plate (they had been sitting at the place when I arrived at 1:30pm) and the chef wanted the waitress to tell the customers that the kitchen was closed, but she had already told the two ladies that customers, who had already had their lunch, would get dessert, too. I guess it worked out, although I left before dessert was served. I guess it would be really rude to tell customers they couldn't get a dessert although it wasn't even 2pm (and the place is open from 11:30am to 2pm on week days). indian 48.2108001709 16.3750991821 Thu, 29 Oct 2009 16:34:02 +0000 /nl/wenen/nirvana /nl/wenen/kama I would have given zero stars, but that option is not possible. Went there yesterday with a colleague, because we had some business close by. I have to say that this is the worst food I have ever eaten. We opted for the lunch buffet, because we only had little time. The hot & sour soup tasted burnt and too salty. Tried to "save" it by adding some of the hot chili sauce, which didn't help much. They have a teppanyaki style option where you can choose from different raw meats, seafood and vegetables and have them prepared directly by the chef. No options for sauces, though. I took a plate of vegetables and octopus and a few slices of chicken. The plate arrived at my table and the food already smelled burnt. Apart from tasting burnt it had no taste at all - did they even add ANY spices???? In addition, the slices of beef looked already a little bit "green" sitting on the buffet. I will never ever return to this place and advise everybody to stay away! asian 48.151205692 16.3158038848 Thu, 24 Sep 2009 08:22:02 +0000 /nl/wenen/kama /nl/wenen/papa-joes IMPORTANT INFORMATION: As of Sept. 07, 2009, Papa Joe's is closed because of bankruptcy! 48.210493 16.36698 Mon, 14 Sep 2009 13:49:54 +0000 /nl/wenen/papa-joes /nl/klosterneuburg/essl-museum-kunst-der-gegenwart Went there last Saturday to view the "Chalo! India" exhibition. The exhibition itself was very interesting and they even offered a guided tour for children. What was disappointing, though, was the food at the restaurant. They had a vegetable and tofu curry and a chicken curry that day (since the exhibition dealt with India) and first we had to wait for ages for our food (we were sitting on the terrace with a bunch of other people) while people sitting inside were served almost immediately. Then I got the chicken curry and found that the chicken meat was still raw. I went back inside with my dish and told them. The waitress/owner said: but it was just prepared and I said: well, it is still raw. So she took it away from me. After another while I got my dish (back?) with the implication: well-done chicken now. What does "well-done" mean??? Is chicken meat ever medium or raw to eat? Ever thought about salmonella? In addition, it was not really tasty, a bit low on sal... 48.3017223823 16.3334835968 Mon, 14 Sep 2009 13:18:41 +0000 /nl/klosterneuburg/essl-museum-kunst-der-gegenwart /nl/faak-am-see/strandbad-wochinz Wir waren mit den Eltern meines Freundes dort, die eine Strandkabine für die ganze Saison dort gemietet haben. Als die Eltern vorab gefragt hatten, ob sie auch Liegen ausborgen dürften, wurde dies bejaht. Als wir dann jedoch schon seit ca. 2 Std. 3 Liegen (wir waren zu viert und eine hatten wir selbst mit) benutzt hatten, kam eine Angestellte zu uns und meinte, ihre Chefin hätte gesagt, wir dürften die Liegen nicht benutzen, weil die nur für Hausgäste (es werden Zimmer und Ferienwohnungen vermietet) reserviert wären. Wir wiesen darauf hin, dass dies zuvor besprochen worden war und die Chefin damals gesagt hatte, es wäre kein Problem. Die Angestellte ging also zur Chefin und kurz darauf kam diese zu uns und meinte, sie hätte ein volles Haus und 40 Liegen und die wären nur für Hausgäste.

Stock gesetzt. Mehrmals gingen 2 Kellnerinnen an uns vorbei ohne uns die Speisekarte zu bringen oder zu fragen, ob wir etwas bestellen möchten. Nach einigen Malen wurden wir dann doch bemerkt (wir saßen genau neben der Terrassentür) und uns wurde die Speisekarte gereicht.

Ok. Wir haben dann einen Eiskaffee OHNE Schlagobers und ein Bananensplit sowie ein Cola bestellt. Abgesehen davon, dass es ziemlich lange dauerte, bis unsere Bestellung serviert wurde, war mein Eiskaffee mit Schlagobers.

At this time, it isn't packed as usual, but still fresh food was placed on the conveyor belt until it was full. The food is really fresh and there is a great variety. I prefer the steamed dumplings (Jiaozi) and the crispy shrimps with chillies. The sushi and maki are always fresh, too, and you get salmon, butterfish, tuna, mackerel, shrimp on rice (sushi) and also salmon sashimi as well as different kinds of maki (I especially love the California Maki with sesame seeds on top).

I ordered a char, fried with less fat in foil and vegetables and potatoes. My bf had a fried Whitefish with parsley potatoes. Both fish were really delicious and the portions big. I had a Kräuterfritattensuppe (soup with strips of pancake with herbs) as a starter which was the best I had eaten for a long time in a typical Austrian restaurant.

Dinner was served with 4 courses (half-board surcharge is € 12 per person/day). Food was really good and we were told that the grandmother of the owners is cooking. Her Tafelspitz was really delicious. The family is very friendly. Included in the stay is the free use of their heated swimming pool in the garden and the sauna (we didn't use the latter). The rooms are quite spacious and clean, although the bathroom tiles' color need getting used to. ;-) Every day we had a can of fresh Dachstein water in our room.

My colleague ordered the "8 Schaetze" lunch and I ordered "Chicken Szechuan style". The spicy-sour soup wasn't really spicy, but quite ok. My chicken was quite good, the vegetables still "crunchy", but again - not really spicy. The only thing which was quite disturbing was that the restaurant smelled very badly from the kitchen as we entered it. There were only 2 people inside who had already finished eating. It seems that they don't change the oil they use very often, because you could smell the used oil/grease which was not nice.

In addition, the non-smoking area is in the back, so you'll have to walk through the smoke-filled area in front to reach it. Moreover, the non-smoking area (which was almost empty at the time we got there) is close to the kitchen and the smell of "old" fat and grease was overwhelming (I guess that was the reason why nobody would sit there). I guess I would rather have taken a table in the smoking area than sit there, but we just wanted to see the separate room they have downstairs which you can rent for a party. This room is quite spacious, has a bar and a DJ area and a bit Disco feeling. 48.2062988281 16.3490009308 Mon, 19 Jan 2009 14:42:08 +0000 /nl/wenen/shebeen /nl/wenen/shooters Quite a nice pub with different "special offer days" (Monday 0.5 l beer for €2.20, Tuesday Ladies Day = the second drink is for free, Wednesday Coffee Day = Melange and a dessert for €2.90, Thursday Spare Ribs Day, Friday Steak Day).

My father and my boyfriend both had the Zwiebelrostbraten with baked potatoes, my sister had a Wiener Schnitzel (veal) and my mother had the trout "Muellerin style".

The lunch menu includes the "usual" stuff you will find at any other Chinese restaurant. I had the "Acht Schaetze" with spicy-sour soup and rice. The soup was surprisingly good and didn't seem to be the usual glutamate-drowned stuff. But it was not spicy. The main dish was served on a plate I remember from holiday camps when I was a child. A rectangular plate in two parts with the salad in the smaller part (in this case soy bean sprouts) and the main dish in the bigger part. Hope you know what I mean. Thus the food didn't stay warm very long. The main dish was not bad, the vegetables still crisp, but the flavor was not so good. Maybe I should return for an a la carte dish. chinese 48.210815 16.340721 Thu, 11 Dec 2008 10:18:07 +0000 /nl/wenen/taipei /nl/wenen/shieh The usual buffet for lunch. Spicy-sour soup ok, but not spicy at all. The other dishes were lukewarm and not that good. The fried rice with egg and vegetables was very dry and seemed "old".

I had a sour-spicy soup and the duck Sichuan style with steamed rice. The soup was quite good, but not that spicy. The positive thing is that it didn't taste or look like it had "tons" of glutamate in it. The duck was really good, with many vegetables (bell pepper, onions, mushrooms...) and very crispy.

They are not on the regular menu, but there is a menu in Chinese for them. Ask the owner to explain. The Jiaozi are wonderful and very filling! Haven't tried anything else from the regular menu, though. I once was there with a bunch of people from my Taiji school and we had a special menu which was delicious. chinese 48.2002224 16.3430434 Mon, 24 Nov 2008 16:56:34 +0000 /nl/wenen/china-restaurant-kanton /nl/wenen/esa Great Mexican food and great Cocktails. The Mojito is the best I've tasted in Vienna so far. The owner is Mexican. It just seems that there is not a "regular" waitress, since the one which worked last time I was there didn't speak German very good and forgot twice what we ordered. She didn't seem to be experienced in waiting at all. But other than that - nice atmosphere, great food (try the Camarones Veracruz!). mexican 48.205368 16.350281 Wed, 19 Nov 2008 12:57:04 +0000 /nl/wenen/esa /nl/wenen/club-berlin The Club Berlin (or CB) was my favorite pub for many years. It has expanded last year and took over the former shop besides to enlarge the area on the ground floor. You will find 3 rooms in the cellar: A, B and C (or Club) Room. Nowadays many young people make reservations for celebrating parties, but in the old times everybody was partying and even dancing on the bar (watch your head because of the low ceiling). I had a great time there and sometimes come back to chat with other people who spent as much time at the CB as I did when I was younger (gosh, I feel old!). I loved the "Fladen" (toasted Turkish white bread with different toppings), especially in the middle of the night when I had too many drinks and needed to sober up a bit. The only negative thing for me is that everybody smokes and after a while you feel like you just can't take it anymore, because you will asphyxiate. 48.2150001526 16.3707008362 Wed, 19 Nov 2008 12:31:59 +0000 /nl/wenen/club-berlin /nl/wenen/lutz Well, I went there with 3 girlfriends to spend a nice evening. We were lucky to get a table. You have to hand over your jacket/coat to the cloakroom (1€ charge per item). I ordered a Bloody Mary which wasn't good at all. Too many ice cubes (why do they always put ice in a Bloody Mary?????) diluted the drink to tasting really awful even when I tried to drink it quickly (not possibly, because it was so cold). Too much lemon juice. I ordered it spicy and it was only spicy for the first second (before it got diluted). The celery stem didn't look fresh at all and was already limp at the end. After we had paid for our drinks the waiter told us we could go downstairs; that they had opened a new club there. We asked about the music and he said "chilling House". When we went downstairs, the doorman (looking like a gorilla) asked us, if we were on the "guest list". When we said: why, no? He said it would cost us €15 each to enter the club. We turned on our heels and prefer... 48.2018013 16.3605003357 Wed, 19 Nov 2008 12:13:25 +0000 /nl/wenen/lutz /nl/wenen/bar-italia Sorry, but I can only say that we were turned away, because they had forgotten our reservation which my cousin placed two days before we went there. Their rude behavior didn't make things better. 48.2010002136 16.3589000702 Wed, 19 Nov 2008 12:06:34 +0000 /nl/wenen/bar-italia /nl/wenen/gu Delicious food, very different from any other Chinese restaurant. They don't use glutamate. I was brave enough to try the Jellyfish salad as a starter and it was delicious. The chicken with vegetables and chestnuts was wonderful. The place is quite small and you better make a reservation. The only thing I don't like about it is that this place doesn't have a non-smoking area. Although there were only 2 people smoking at the time I was there, they were doing it almost constantly, which can get really annoying, especially when the smoke drifts towards you while you are eating and trying to taste the delicious food, but rather taste the smoke from the cigarettes. *blah* asian 48.21212 16.348743 Thu, 13 Nov 2008 15:03:41 +0000 /nl/wenen/gu /nl/wenen/hanoi-express Delicious Vietnamese "street food" like the famous Pho and skewers with prawns or meat. The menu is small, but the dishes are very tasty and the atmosphere is "special". Try it out! vietnamese 48.2258079 16.3520436 Thu, 13 Nov 2008 14:52:45 +0000 /nl/wenen/hanoi-express /nl/wenen/curry-insel-inh-heitzmann-josef Try the "Limited Meal" from Tue-Fri for lunch. Limited meal means that there are only certain dishes available, but of these as much as you like. You can choose, if you want a vegan, a vegetarian or a mixed (with meat) plate. When you are finished, you will be asked, if you want more. As long as there is enough food, you can have more. :) I also recommend the Masala tea. Dulika, the waitress, is a very nice young woman. Don't be too impatient when she doesn't appear at your table immediately, but the place is quite big and she mostly is the only waitress (apart from a guy who serves drinks). srilankan 48.2095945 16.3545898 Thu, 13 Nov 2008 14:45:36 +0000 /nl/wenen/curry-insel-inh-heitzmann-josef /nl/wenen/heilige-kuh Delicious north Indian food. You will receive a starter on a small spoon on the house. :) The lentil soup is spicy and delicious and if you ask, you can get your dish more spicy. :) The owner is Mr. Anil Gupta, a very nice man, married to an Austrian woman. When he has time, he's up to a chat with the guests. I'd recommend on a reservation, especially in the evenings.

Dazu bietet sich einer der ausgezeichneten Weine (ob Weiß oder Rot) an. Kann besonders den Sauvignon Blanc oder den Barrique empfehlen.

Da sah der Nudelsuppentopf mit Gemüse meiner Begleitung wesentlich besser aus und schmeckte ihm auch sehr gut. Die 3 Maki und 2 Sushi waren gut, Fisch nicht zu kalt, Sushireis ganz ordentlich. japanese 48.2146987915 16.3845996857 Wed, 05 Nov 2008 16:36:36 +0000 /nl/wenen/kosu /nl/wenen/restaurant-iega-lee-and-kim Die Bentos zu mittag sind ganz gut, war jedoch bisher nie abends dort.

Große Portion, schön scharf und heiß. Bedienung sehr freundlich. Gehe immer wieder gerne hin. :) Zusatz vom 05.11.08: war vor kurzem noch 2x dort (da sehr praktisch, weil ggü. vom Metro Kino und daher eine perfekte Anlaufstelle für die Zeit vor Beginn der dortigen Viennale-Filme) - Dolsot Bibimbap super, Ojinko Bokum war mir nicht scharf genug, aber beides sehr gut.

We ordered a "Senkoma Menü" with 4 dishes: Edamame (green soy beans), Miso soup, Tofu (me) and scallops (her) and then Seafood Donburi (her) and Seafood Ramen (me). The Edamame appeared steamed and still in their husk. You had to work them out of the husk with your teeth and tongue (funny) holding one by one with the chopsticks. Miso soup was ok, but not spectacular and only lukewarm. The tofu was baked and hard to eat with chopsticks, cause you couldn't quite "cut" it in smaller pieces. It was very hot inside, so I nearly burnt my tongue. My friend said that the scallops were good. The waiter appeared again to ask which main dish we had ordered (apparently there was some confusion in the kitchen about it). We told him, but nevertheless I didn't get Seafood Ramen, but Ramen with fish (don't know which one but neither salmon nor tuna). Since we lacked some taste, we asked for some spicy sauce or spice mix and ... japanese 48.201497 16.368811 Wed, 05 Nov 2008 16:23:59 +0000 /nl/wenen/senkoma /nl/wenen/futterboden War vor kurzem mit einer Freundin dort. Hatte das asiatische Hühnerfleisch mit Glasnudeln bestellt. War ganz ok, nur leider schwamm es ziemlich im Öl. Als ich dann nach Hause kam, mußte ich feststellen, dass das Gericht meine Verdauung mehr als angeregt hatte. War anscheinend irgendwas in dem Gericht, was nicht drin hätte sein sollen bzw. was ich nicht vertragen habe.

Lokal in der Neulerchenfelderstrasse). Riesen-Auswahl an Speisen, so dass man sich kaum entscheiden kann. Kann besonders den "Grüne Bohnen Drink" oder "Rote Bohnen Drink" empfehlen. Das ist Kokosmilch mit Eiswürfeln und grünen bzw. roten Bohnen, die süß schmecken (die roten sind wohl Azukibohnen). Kann man auch anstatt einer Nachspeise nehmen, wenn man vom guten Essen eh schon zu voll ist. ;-) vietnamese 48.2006988525 16.3645000458 Mon, 06 Oct 2008 13:07:48 +0000 /nl/wenen/saigon-getreidemarkt /nl/wenen/sapa Ausgezeichnetes Essen, vor allem die Pho. Im Sommer gibt es einen Schanigarten, was es sehr angenehm macht, da es leider keinen Nichtraucherbereich drinnen gibt und das trübt schon irgendwie die Geschmacksnerven, wenn rundherum geraucht wird. vietnamese 48.2000999451 16.3507995605 Mon, 06 Oct 2008 13:05:41 +0000 /nl/wenen/sapa /nl/wenen/kuishimbo "Japanese Homecooking" at its best!

Putensteak mit Steinpilzsauce und Kartoffelrösti gegessen - sehr große Portion und wirklich sehr gut (frische Steinpilze). Meine Begleitung hatte (lt. Karte selbstgemachte) Linguine mit Steinpilzen und war auch sehr begeistert. Ebenfalls große Portion, er bekam dazu eine Käsemühle mit frischem Parmesan. Bedienung mäßig freundlich, wir mußten lange warten um bestellen zu können, da leider niemand vorbeikam (haben dann einen Kellner erwischt, der zufällig am Nebentisch was serviert hatte). Fazit: Essen sehr gut, Bedienung könnte die Aufmerksamkeit und Freundlichkeit gegenüber dem Gast (auch wenn viel los ist) noch üben. italian 48.216256 16.38714 Wed, 01 Oct 2008 16:07:51 +0000 /nl/wenen/fiorino /nl/wenen/restaurant-busan Waren mittags dort und es gab ein sehr kleines Buffet (4 warme Speisen, die leider schon fast kalt waren, Sushi und Maki, Misosuppe, Reis und Kompott als Nachspeise). Der Preis für Buffet mit Sushi war EUR 9,70, was wir ziemlich teuer fanden, da das Essen geschmacklich nicht toll war. Die Sushi und Maki waren zwar teils frisch zubereitet, die Auswahl jedoch eingeschränkt. Die warmgestellten Speisen waren teils nicht mal mehr lauwarm und ziemlich fettlastig. Alles in allem kann ich das Buffet überhaupt nicht empfehlen und bereue, dass wir nicht a la carte probiert haben, das wäre eventuell besser gewesen. Bedienung war jedoch sehr freundlich. asian 48.188346 16.351828 Wed, 01 Oct 2008 16:00:56 +0000 /nl/wenen/restaurant-busan /nl/stubenberg/michlhof Der Michlhof ist ein Hotel mit angeschlossenem Restaurant.
