Tasca de Blanquerna – Closed in 2014

Mallorca – A must in Palma. This is the little sister of the MISA restaurant of Marc Fosh and also known by locals as “Star kitchen for the poor”. You get the degu menu for 26 EUR including half a bottle of wine per person! Great food and if you reserve you can have a table in front of the open kitchen and watch the cooks spin around.

Hotel Ur Misiones de San Miguel and restaurant MISA

Mallorca – The small hotel is located in the middle of Palma and belongs to the old city. Built around an inner courtyard and with interiors decorated in a pure contemporary style; nice rooms but very different categories. Very small garage and difficult to find the entry in this small street. So you better rent a small car and check out the map before you enter the city. The hotel houses the popular MISA Brasserie and Bar, from the well-known chef Marc Fosh who stands out for his original and innovative cuisine.

Baan Khanitha (Sukhumvit 23)

Bangkok – For me the best authentic Thai restaurant in Bangkok on a very high quality standard. The typical Thai style wooden house is embedded in a romantic garden. The restaurant has four different locations and I recommend going to the one on Sukhumvit 23, the others are a little impersonal.

Vertigo

Bangkok – The roof top of the hotel Banyantree hosts the restaurant Vertigo. The view over Bangkok is just spectacular and breathtaking. The food of the restaurant is international with an Asian twist and quite ok but pricey. You need to book in advance and respect the dress code. If you want to have a look you can also just go for a drink or two….

Mallorca – Stylish City Hotel in the middle of Palmas old town including a small lounge on the roof top, a bar (very lively on Friday and Saturday) and  a beach club about 20 mins away. The restaurant is also worth a visit but no terrace or view.
