Dresden-Food-Recommendation
(veggie)

http://www.brennnessel-dresden.de

Dresden in such a beautiful and imposing city that we had to walk all over the place to see all these impressive old buildings. In the late afternoon I found this restaurant called "brennNessel" as a recommendation on my smart phone. So we gave it a shot because all the other places I had found didn't appeal to me. It is a few minutes of footway away from the center in quiet area. They have a super nice, small back porch and because of the warm weather we wanted to sit outside but either the tabels were occupied or reserved. So we had to sit inside which was also totally fine.
We were positively surprised to find so many delicious dishes on the menu (http://www.brennnessel-dresden.de/index.php/menu-speisen/94-speisekarte-als-pdf).

Sorry that the picture is so blurry but i made it with my cell phone camera. And I know it is really not that pretty because we were already eating, but let me tell you, otherwise we would have died of starvation. So just ignore that and let's focus on the flavor which was the BEST!

What we ate:

Food on the bottom: iceberg salad with strawberries, avocado, mozzarella balls with pine nuts, balsamic vinegar cream with and pita bread

Food on the top: sweet potato-papaya casserole with peanutbutter, peppers, sugarsnaps, leeks, sheep's cheese instead of goat cheese, coconut milk and peanuts

For desert I had this delicious pancake with honey, figs and whipped cream

 So whenever you are in Dresden, pleeeeaaase go there and give it a shot too!

Leipzig-Food-Recommendation  

(vegan)
in Connewitz

At the end of July I participated in a 3-girls-road-trip-get-away which was a blast. From Berlin we drove to Leipzig and Dresden.

A few days before we went to Berlin, we had to interview a roommate to tell us more about Leipzig and where we had to go, because we had never been to Leipzig before. And of course we had to ask him where to go for good food!So he recommended this place called "Atacolypse", which is a vegan restaurant located in district "Connewitz". They offer you vegan mexcian inspired food.

You can sit also outside as well as inside. The ground outside is made of gravel. They have several tables with normal chairs or bar stools. In the back you can also find a metal porch swing. Next to the restaurant area are just other gardens from the neighborhood. 
We were sitting outside because of the beautiful weather. It was very peaceful and quiet.

I know I repeat myself when I talk about foodplaces I recommend, but it kind of comes with it: The food is soooo tasty! Although it is mexican inspired food and  I am a meat-lover, I didn't miss the meat at all! It was one of those moments when you as a meat-fan get the motivation to abandon meat from your menu because you realize that meat is so unnecessary for a good flavor in your mouth. 

Usually the mexican kitchen has a lot of meat. So I really liked the fact that it was perfect even without it.

Down in the picture: When the food was served there were actually more nachos and no bite mark on the burrito. :D I had to take a bite and eat nachos before taking a picture because I was so hungry.

This is the food cart.

I had a burrito with salad, tomatoes, guacamole and mashed pintobeans with nachos on the side. Also i got fried potato wedges with mixed spices and limes. There also were two sauces for dipping, but I can't remember the ingredients. But it was delicious, one was very spicy though.

Location
 Wolfgang Heinze Str. 38, 04277 Leipzig

Flea market loot
in Frankfurt

n Sachsenhausen‘s Shaumainkai stree

Schaumainkai in Sachsenhausen

n Sachsenhausen‘s Shaumainkai stree

First of all I have to say that I looove flea markets! So whenever there is one near by I want to go there. As everyone knows you can find rare or one of a kind things. What I also find very appealing to flea markets is that you have to "work" (work as in browsing closely through the stuff) in order to find beautiful things. Often everythings is thrown together in no real order.

The flea market is located right at the riverside. You have the scernery of the Frankfurter skyline and this harbor atmosphere which is so beautiful in spring or summer.

Opening hours are every second saturday - except on holidays - from 9 am
 to 2 pm.

When we were searching through the market stalls  i saw this beautiful leather bag. And I was instantly drawn to it. Thankfully the lady gave me a discount. I really like the combination of the leather and the metal handle.

 

I also found these amazing old glasses - there are six of them - which I also noticed right away. I bought them at this market stall where the vendor was the cutest old man. He was super sweet and nice and he also gave me a discount. My friends and I were so taken by him that we joked about taking him home with us. He was so lovely! He has a lot of old glasses. I don't know if his stall is always in the same place, but if you want to buy old glasses just look out for a cute old man who is accompanied by a very nice woman.

Berlin-Food-Recommendation

Lunch/Dinner
(veggie and vegan)
in Kreuzberg

This is a recommendation of a friend of mine, who lives in Berlin. She is a vegetarian and loves food as much as I do. We are definitely major foodbuddies.
As we were walking back home, we wanted to sit down somewhere to have a coffee and maybe a snack. So she said: "Let me show you this super nice restaurant Seerose! It has fresh food and salads that you can put together yourself."
She has a great taste so whenever she recommends something I just know that it has to be good!
I am so sorry, that I can't show you more pictures of the restaurant. Or again maybe I just want YOU to go there to see it! :)
It is nicely done up and they play classical music (which in my experience you can't find that often). So for a classical music lover like me (i used to play the violin) this place is also relaxing and calming.

We had a coffe and had this delicious desert. It is an persian dish which is a saffronpudding with rosewater ( and I guess also other spices) and almonds on top. They have also other sweet things to offer. But that day this dish had its premiere. It was so sweet when the lady asked us how we liked it and told us that it was the first day they offered it. It really shows that they care about the food and their guests!

desert or just a sweet snack

Again...I just can say that you HAVE TO go there!!! ;)

Berlin-Food-Recommendation

 Lunch/Dinner

in Berlin-Mitte

Some weeks ago I went to Berlin because a friend of mine lives there now. I was so excited! I love Berlin! Especially when you come from a small town. Berlin has just so much to offer and there are so many different sides to see. The possibilities seem endless. What I am always excited about are the different places to have breakfast, lunch or dinner. I am a total foodaddict...I love to eat! When I'm in a unfamiliar city I have the urge to find places that are unique and have great food. I really don't like those mainstream foodchains. It's ok when there is nothing else to find, but i'm looking for those one of a kind places with their own touch to it.

When my friends and I got hungry - we were walking all day - we wanted to have dinner. I had told them about this amazing restaurant:

 

I have been there once with a good friend of mine several months ago. We randomly picked this place cause we happened to be in this area. The enterance, which is in a backyard, looked super nice. There is a well and a lot of greenery. They also have a garden in the back which you don't really expect. The garden is arranged so beautifully and you really can find peace and a little nature there.

Sadly I did'nt make any photos at this time or after. 

So you just have to see this place for yourself!

I was a little sceptical at first - as usually cause sometimes the place looks fabulous and the food is just not as good as you expected it to be.

As we got the menu and saw the dishes and dinks it suddenly makes you so excited for the food because everythings sounds sooo delicious.

I can't remeber anymore what we ordered...sorry, but look for yourself.

The Food looks so nice!And it tastes A-MAZING!!!!

I'm so lucky we found this place!!!

They serve the food so nicely, it looks so fresh and it tastes sooooooo gooooood! Seriously I can't stop raving about this!

The drink i had was something with lychee and blackberries and was so delicious.It looked very funny because there were some kind of seeds in the drink that looked like fisheggs, but that should not bother you because it is sooo tasty!

We also ordered tea. The teas on the menu sound so exotic that we had to try them. They were also very good, but as you can see there are no teabags, so you just have to have an eye on the time to fish out the pieces so it doesn't taste bitter.

So if you are around this area in Berlin-Mitte check this place out...you won't regret it!

Heidelberg-Food-Recommendation

Breakfast or afternoons

Lately I'm enjoying food again.That sounds weird, but i had a very stressfull time in which i saw eating just as a necessary thing to do. Since i have a bit more free time now i love to have breakfast at this nice little place called "Macaronnerie" in Heidelberg (Germany). It is a super sweet french cafe where you can eat croissants, super delicious quiches and cute little tarts - just to name a few. I love to go there in the morning and have a nice little breakfast; you just get that feel-good-feeling.

  Here I am having a Citron Tart - to which i am absolutely

 addicted - with a Latte Macchiato.

 A warm salmon quiche which is sooo delicious!

BUT the most important thing to mention - of course!!! - are the macarons. There are so many different flavors to choose from. They all look so nice little and perfect and they taste so good!

    Here i have the flavors raspberry (i am not so sure but it is some

red berry flavor), coconut, apricot, pistachio and blueberry

I ate the apricot macaron (....mmhh so good!) and added a

blackberry on the right

                                                  

I highly recommend to go there for breakfast or just to have a nice meeting in the afternoon with a friend.
