Seeschlössl is the kind of place I would want to keep secret all to myself, because it's perfect in every way. We come here every summer for a few days and wake up at the crack of dawn to go waterskiing while the waters of the lake are still calm and smooth.
Have you ever wanted to have lunch in an enchanted forrest? The thought has certainly crossed my mind more than once, along with a deep desire to play a grand piano in the middle of a meadow… but that's a completely different story. Point being, Ralph's in Paris is probably my very favorite restaurant ever.
We were nearby for state championship in swimming, and the day got really long in between the races. It is sometimes easier to try to get a table on short notice than planning ahead. We were lucky and were taken care of with charm and finesse by Mrs Reitbauer herself in a dirndl and her team. This is a legendary "Wirtshaus" known for its quality meat and excellent kitchen open only from Thursday to Sunday.
Some snapshots from my recent trip to Brussels to visit my darling friend Emma. (Credits for the last 2 shots go to her gorgeous house).
