Lovely place for the annual pork Metzgete: Restaurant Falken Wiedikon (1. November 2024)
Every year there is an event where you get the best pieces of the pork, and it is worth to book that months in advance since there are only about four days, where the “Metzgete” (CHF 49.00) is offered. Basically, you get to pick two plates and are served a few more elements in parallel […]

Perfect place for a short ‘Taco Break’: Restaurant La Taqueria Badenerstrasse (31. October 2024)
It’s been a while since I’ve been to the La Taqueria, but given it was late, I was walked by, and it was still open, it felt like the perfect pit stop at 10pm to have a few tacos. I picked the “taco carnitas (seasoned, slow-braised pork, guaca-mojo, cilantro and onions)” (CHF 6.90), a “taco […]

A good place for a business lunch, however, not very courteous after ‘accidents’: Restaurant 33 (31. October 2024)
The Restaurant 33 is the perfect place for a swift Italian-inspired business lunch. That day, I decided to go for the “Pizza Quattro Formaggi (tomatoes, mozzarella, Gorgonzola, taleggio, parmigiano)” (CHF 27.50), which was lovely overall – that is, if you’re into cheese. They really manage to get things done quickly, i.e., you get the menu […]

If you want to be healthy, but the salad is the pure opposite: Restaurant Werdguet (30. October 2024)
The Werdguet is the perfect place to play a set of cards (‘jassen’) since it’s spacious, you’re not rushed, you get the stuff you need to play cards, and the waitresses are friendly. On top of that, you get decent Swiss food for fair prices. I went for the “beer carriage driver salad bowl (sausage, […]

Decent Thai-ish lunch option in a packed place: Restaurant Vee’s Thai Bistro (30. October 2024)
The Vee’s Thai Bistro is perfect for a swift Thai-ish lunch for a decent price. I went for the “Käng Khia Wan Gung (green curry with king prawns)” (CHF 26.00), which was served swiftly and was, all in all, quite tasty. The prawns were a bit too dry for my personal gusto, but other than […]

The perfect option if you want ‘refined American food’: Restaurant Lou’s (29. October 2024)
The Lou remains a good choice if you want some ‘refined American food’. As a starter I went for the “grilled cheese (sourdough bread, cheddar, Gruyère, honey, thyme)” (CHF 16.00), which is obviously pure sin, but it’s a delicious sin. The cheese between two slices of toasted bread is really something, which makes your taste […]

A decent business lunch in a cloudy atmosphere: Restaurant Altenbach (29. October 2024)
It’s really not often that I’m in Liechtenstein, but given I had a client lunch, I was spending a lunch in Vaduz. As a starter, I went for the “soup of the day” (CHF 8.00), which was decent. A bit small as a starter, but fine. As a main, I picked the “pork Cordon Bleu […]

False pretenses and a verbally intrusive waiter: Restaurant Les Deux (26. October 2024)
Incomplete information is the best description of what happened when I had called to book. The Les Deux has various ‘levels’ of their restaurant. I had called to get to the 1 Michelin Star restaurant, however, that wasn’t really what had happened since they placed us in the restaurant on the ground floor, which is […]
