I’ve become a bit obsessed in checking the Michelin app ahead of any travel and in this instance planning birthday celebrations. It’s not the stars I’m after these days, because, well, budgets, but it’s this other category, Bib Gourmand, where excellent quality, high value meals are honored. Take a look for Bibendum’s head on the…

Exploring Kraftwerk: A Unique Burger Experience in Hannover
After a busy day in the sun and an impromptu visit to Hannover beer festival, we landed at Kraftwerk for a go of their burgers. The Husband had in his head a chicken burger, and not wanting to be jealous of his choice, I also chose one, albeit a different type. The regret was pretty…
Celebrating Love: A Memorable Dinner at Enrico Leone
If you’re making an international move, make sure that the occasion coincides with your first wedding anniversary. 10/10 highly recommend optimizing the excitement by boiling it all into the exact same moment. Luckily for us, the date also coincided with a date that was between moving trucks, so we didn’t have to focus on house…
Post-Move Dining: Turkish at Restaurant Aspera
Moving days are never fun, especially when they involve loading a truck in full (not one box went on the truck the day prior!), cleaning as the contents left, checking out of a very stressful housing situation, and finally capping it off with an international drive (complete with three phone calls from German customs!) with…
Hannover in Photos
The next chapter begins…in Hannover!? This definitely was not on the bingo card, but it’s been a wonderful surprise so far! (Especially after I learned to spell it, two ‘n’s’ not one). Here’s a glimpse at the first few weeks.
Taste of Syria: An Exquisite Dining Experience at Al Dar
In search of a new cuisine, yet not so far from the hotel, as the weather was abominably cold, we found ourselves at Al Dar. I was pleasantly surprised at just how lovely the interior was with its moody lighting, starched white tablecloths, and lovely clusters of orchids adorning all of the tables. We opted…
Top Burgers in Hannover: Jo’s Food & Craft Beer
After hearing that Jo’s was one of the top burgers in town, it seemed like an easy choice to test drive it on a rainy, cold January night where you can’t feel your feet walking to or from the restaurant. On a Monday, with no reservation, the place was packed! Glad to have gotten there…
Incredible Pizza Experience at Bestia
Recently I enjoyed my second visit to Bestia Pizza and really, the name just says it all. This pizza is incredible! I never ever ever finish a pizza and this gorgeous pistachio-obsessed concoction was no trouble. The crust is so light and fluffy, and the toppings are interesting twists on classics like this (not at…
Panu Pizza Review: A Unique Dining Experience in Hannover
After a long day of meetings capped with a long drive to Hannover, we sought a quick and easy dinner near our hotel and landed on Panu Pizza. I’ve been impressed with just how consistently good the pizza is in Europe, outside of Italy, so I’m always happy to land on a spot for cozy,…
The Ultimate Hanover Beef & Reef Experience: What to Order
Beef & Reef has to be the best/worst restaurant name ever, yet I was intrigued enough to try it, especially after the rave reviews. We were after a steak out on the town, something that is virtually unaffordable in Switzerland, so this felt like a lucky date night. Here for the beef, skip the reef….
Doubletree Hanover: A Home Away from Home
I have NEVER been much for chain hotels as they strike me as completely soulless. However, when spending a week in Hanover (once or twice), the Doubletree made for the perfect homebase. The rooms were large, newly renovated and very clean. The gym is state-of-the-art, and someone not much for breakfast, well that was a…
