JOE & VALERY in Bratislava | Restaurant review.

Wie in meinem letzten Blogpost (Bratislava travel-diary) erwähnt gibt es heute einen top Restaurant Tipp für euch. Auf dem Weg vom Bahnhof in die Altstadt haben wir die Patisserie Joe&Valery gefunden. Adresse: Názov ulice 123 ; 821 01 Bratislava; Lorem ipsum. Wir haben kurz die Karte durchgelesen und sofort entschieden, dass wir dort Mittagessen wollen.

As I mentioned in my last blogpost - there is a top restaurant recommandation for you. On the way from the train station to the historic district we discovered the Joe & Valery patisserie. We read the menu and instantly decided to have lunch there.   

Neben dem Frühstücksangebot (Omlette, Bagel, Croissant (die Croissants sind übrigens überdimensional groß - könnt ihr weiter unten noch sehen ;)) bieten sie auch leckere Vorspeisen und Hauptgerichte an. Hummus mit Gemüse, Suppen, verschiedene Salate, Burger und Curry. Dann gibt es noch eine Auswahl an leckeren Nachspeisen und Kaffee.

Next to the breakfast options (omlette, bagel, croissant (which are pretty oversized ;)) they also have delicious first and main courses. Hummus with veggies, soups, salads, burgers and curry. They offer a wide range of delicious sweets and coffe as well. 

Vorspeise: HUMMUS mit GEMÜSESTICKS. Es war nicht nur schön anzusehen - es war auch sehr lecker und man hat sofort geschmeckt, dass der Hummus frisch und selbstgemacht war. TOP.

First course: Hummus with veggie sticks. It wasn't just pretty - it also was very delicious and you could instantly taste, that the hummus was fresh and selfmade. TOP.  

Hauptspeise: SALAT mit frischem Gemüse und TOFU. & JOE's BURGER mit Spiegelei, Speck, Käse und Rindpatty.

Main Course: Salad with fresh vegetables and TOFU. My boyfriend had "Joe's Burger" with fried egg, bacon, cheese and beef patty. 

hier die gigantischen Croissants von denen ich heute noch träume ;)

Nicht nur das Essen war super - die Inneneinrichtung hat mir auch richtig gut gefallen. Total mein Stil. Alles moden und simpel eingerichtet und mit coolen Bildern und hier und da mit kleinen, stylischen Details dekoriert.

Not only the food was amazing - the interior design impressed me as well. Totally my style. Everything modern and simple furnished with cool pictures and decorated with beautiful details.

 

schnell- gesund- frisch. Rote Beete Salat | Recipe.

 

 Ein frischer, gesunder und schnell zubereiteter Salat. Auch wenn ich es liebe, neue und aufwändigere Rezepte auszuprobieren, bevorzuge ich es wenn es in der Küche schnell aber gleichzeitig gesund und lecker ist. Ich versuche immer frisches Gemüse und viel Salat in meinem Kühlschrank zu haben - bei Salaten kannst du so kreativ sein wie du willst. Einfach Salatblätter + Gemüse deiner Wahl + Dressing dazu. Da kannst du hinzufügen was du nur möchtest. In diesem Post möchte ich euch einen frischen Rote Beete Salat mit Tomaten, Karrotten und Kichererbsen zeigen. Dazu gibt es ein Zitronendressing. Versuch's doch mal und berichte wie es dir geschmeckt hat! :)

Zutaten

A fresh, healthy and quick salad. Although I love trying out new and elaborate recipes I prefer something thats quick but still healthy and delicious. I always try to have fresh veggies and lettuce in my fridge - with salads you can get as creative as you want. Just some lettuce + veggies of your choice + dressing. So you can leave out whatever you want and add something you like to the recipe.

TASTE OF SUMMER. quick & easy recipes.

 Apple - Carrot - Salad.

 Ingredients:

- 375g yoghurt

- 5 tbsp olive oil

- 1 tbsp salt

- 10 tbsp lemon juice

- 500g carrots

- 500g apples

preparing.

get a little bowl for preparing the dressing.

in with the yoghurt, and then squeeze in the lemon juice. (i did it by instinct)

olive oil.

get your carrots and apples and peel. (btw, I made the salad just for 2, so don't be confused by the amount of ingredients ;))

grate everything. 

mix the dressing with the carrot-apple salad.

finished! 

It really doesn't take long to make this salad, I would say about 15 minutes. You don't need many ingredients, most of them you'll probably have at home. It tastes really, really good and also refreshing - so it's perfect for the summertime. TRY IT :) 

Chocolate - Cranberry - Granola.

Ingredients:

- 50g dark chocolate (70%)

- 25g honey or maple syrup 

- 250g oatmeal

- 50g grated coconut or almonds

- 1 tbsp cocoa 

- cinnamon

- 100g dried cranberries

melt chocolate over boiling water.

until this consistency.

add the honey. 

mix dry ingredients.

oatmeal, cocoa, cinnamon and grated coconut/almonds. 

add the melted chocolate. I can't describe how delicious this looks, even on the pictures!! haha :) 

HEAVEN!! okay, enough with the melted chocolate pictures ;) moving on....

last one...;) 

mix. first I tried it with a spoon - totally failed, so I used my hands. messy, but definitely easier. ;)

spreading on baking sheet. 

into the oven - 150°C, 20 minutes.

in the meantime you can cut the cranberries into smaller pieces. 

the smell of the finished chocolate granola = AMAZING!! 

mix cranberries with finished chocolate granola. 

get an airtight glass and fill it in.

finished.

If you're an oatmeal/cereal/granola - lover like me, this is definitely a recipe for you!
It is so easy and definitely not unhealthy. Unless you make it with milk chocolate or white chocolate and go crazy with the sugar and honey ;) You can use other dried fruits if you don't like cranberries. 

In my opinion, it tastes the best if you add some tablespoons of it into your normal cereal or cornflakes. Wouldn't eat it alone, because of the sweetness, but you have to decide it for yourself ;)

I would say : go and make your own chocolate - cranberry - granola and get enchanted by the amazing smell of the chocolate-coconut mix. <3
