The 9mClub - The best the world has to offer

Created in Istanbul on the 9th of March 2008, out of the passion between dear friends, for all things that make you go 'mmmmmmmmm', this club was the brainchild of 9 Travel & Event Management professionals who are the founding charter members. This page will be updated as often as necessary, as members find restaurants, destinations, hotels, resorts or any other travel related experiences that they feel are worth the distinguishing mark of 9mClub.

For the month of April, some of our Club Members gave us their mmmmmmmmms - if you click on the name of the member you will be redirected to their suggestions. If you need additional information on the place we suggesting contacting the member (use the chart below for the member's email address).

One of the greatest assets of our 9mClub is our global reach, diversity and the multiculturalism of our members, as Travel and Event Management Professionals we pride ourselves in having a job that brings together peoples from various nations. We uphold the value that travel brings to humanity, and we believe that the more we know and understand about our differences, history and culture  the better we can accept each other,  as we search for the common grounds of what makes us all human.

Here is the list of our Charter Members of the 9mClub:

3/31/08 - Recommendation from Charter Member Martin, he mmmmmmmmm'd some wonderful michelin star rated restaurants in Germany - here is his take:

Nowhere else in Germany will you find a higher density of awarded Michelin-Stars than in the black forest holiday region of Baiersbronn.

No fewer than six of these coveted Michelin-Stars shine above this resort.
It's no wonder that Baiersbronn is more than just an insider tip concerning its superb cuisine. The fine art of cooking is celebrated by the best of the best cooks. The culinary experience across the sub-municipalities of Baiersbronn ... Start your culinary tour in the Restaurant Schloßberg in Schwarzenberg.
Chiefcook Jörg Sackmann has been awarded with one of these coveted Michelin-Stars. Let yourself then be attracted by chiefcook Claus-Peter Lumpp from the legendary Hotel Bareiss in Mitteltal, who has been prized with two Michelin-stars. And to top it off, no one less than the best cook in Germany awaits you in the Schwarzwaldstube of the Hotel Traube Tonbach in Tonbach.
Harald Wohlfahrt will make sure, that you keep this evening as one of the nicest experiences of your life in memory.

Certainly this high standard of cooking has its price, but even so, they are fair.
A german motto says: good quality has to be good, but not always expensive.

3/20/08 - Recommendation from Charter Member Ewa, she mmmmmmmm’d Killorglin, Ireland -  Here is what she had to say:

Killorglin - on Ireland’s beautiful south-west cost, 100 km west of Cork, 220 km south of Galway. A small town that most Ireland visitors miss, but where I end up every time I travel to Ireland. And this is why: Nick’s Seafood Restaurant & Piano Bar
http://www.ireland-guide.com/establishment/nicks_seafood_restaurant_and_piano_bar.3690.html
One of my absolute favourite restaurants. It is cosy, friendly, has good food and is overall a place worth visiting.

The restaurant is famous among Irish people, all the way to Dublin – I found it after suggestion from Mrs Foley at Grove Lodge.

Start with a drink, the cosy piano bar, have a look at the menu. Sit down with a nice, french style meal (with Irish influences).

They also serve the best Irish Coffee I’ve ever tasted! You easily stay there also after dinner if a sing-along starts with the piano player. Reservation recommended.

Grove Lodge Riverside Guesthouse www.grovelodge.com 
The prettiest and most friendly guest house you can find, located just outside the town centre (5 minute walk). Proprietor, Mrs Foley, takes very good care of her guests. It was a B&B the first time I stayed there, but is now more of a small hotel. Beautiful setting along river Laune.

PS. The name of the river in Killorglin is Laune, hence the name of the local soccer team; Laune Rangers.
