I don’t think I actually ate anything for breakfast.

Lunch:

We had some visitors from the US at work today, so we all went out for lunch at the floating restaurant H2O. We shared bruschetta and garlic focaccia (with and without cheese). I had a main course of seafood pizza.

Dinner:

Again, visitors meant eating out. This time we went to a lovely French restaurant called La Buvette (my review on Qype). I had an excellent meal, with all three courses very much up to scratch: scallops, onglet steak with chips, nougat glacé.

Same as every other day this week, seeing as I’m in the same hotel and the selection doesn’t ever change.

Lunch:

Working lunch brought into the meeting room. Better than the normal boring Pret stuff we get in London, though. Open sandwiches with ham and salad on lovely crusty bread. Love the bread here in Germany.

Dinner:

Went to a place called Eiffel, which was an ever so slightly pretentious modern French(ish) restaurant. I had a starter of scallops on mango-lime chutney with a basil sorbet. Main course was spaghetti with prawns in a spicy tomato sauced embellished with curry spices. My review on Qype.

Breakfast:

I didn’t have a chance to get breakfast at home, but luckily work provide some breakfast supplies. I had a bagel – actually a pale imitation of a bagel, since it was one of those New York Bakery Co. bagels which taste nothing like the lovely bagels I’ve had in New York. Covered in Philadelphia light cream cheese with chives, surreptitiously eaten while on a call with someone.

Lunch:

Took my boss out for lunch – yes, I’m such a brown nose – and decided to see what the H2O Floating Restaurant was like in cold weather. I’ve been here before, as part of a large group, in the peak summer months; unsurprisingly, the tiny galley kitchen they have struggled to cope with a large number of covers, but given that there was just the two of us in the whole place today, service was speedy and the food pretty good. I had spaghetti with scallops in a chilli tomato sauce. Nicely spiced, and plenty of scallops chucked in.

Dinner:

It was the annual quiz night at work tonight and as we’ve got such great facilities for social events like this, catering was ordered in. There was a nice selection of sushi, some not-so-nice fried things that looked like spring rolls but seemed to be filled with cheese (and they were cold), some weird flat-bread sandwich affairs, falafel and other bits and pieces. I majored on the sushi which, for mass catering, was nice enough.
