Truth Coffee – Hungover or not – this is not the question

Cape Town – While visiting Cape Town one should visit Truth coffee. The poached egg on surdough with tomatoes and/or avo has only got a hint of sauce instead of drowning in it – fantastic!

Krüst – Cronuts and bitcoins

Dublin – Sometimes it happens when you are in vacation that you are too late for breakfast in the hotel…Lucky we – that’s how we found Krüst bakery in Dublin. We were welcomed very heartily by Rob Kramer, one of the owners. His first questions was: Do you want to pay in bitcoins? As I did not have this currency liquid…I just paid in Euro. Coincidently the Irish Times was there to produce an article we found the other day in the newspaper (see article in the www.irishtimes.com).

If you like cronuts, donuts, brown bread, etc. you have to visit Krüst – I especially liked the oven fresh chocolate croissants!

Le Diplomate – Fantastique!

Washington D.C. –  For my last birthday I was in Washington visiting. I was invited to “Le Diplomat” restaurant for brunch. The internet page explains it best: “Le Diplomate pays homage to French café culture by providing a comfortable place for everything from a cappuccino and croissant on a lazy weekend afternoon at brunch to a celebratory dinner out with friends or just a drink and dessert at the close of an evening.”
I had my best Croque Madame there and tasted the American version of Belon Oysters, accompanied by a nice bottle of champagne. What a treat! I highly recommend a visit whenever possible not only for the food but also the service and the nicely decorated venue.

Palo Alto Creamery – Nothing better for a Sunday brunch

Palo Alto – Silicon Valley does not only offer the latest technical devices but also a lot of good restaurants. In one of them we spent our New Year’s Day brunch. After a long night dedicated to a lot of bubbly stuff we needed some real food and my burger with juicy meat and freshly cut avocado was just perfect to regain energy.

They also serve great milkshakes – 5 seconds in mouth, 5 months on the hips….
