Tasty dishes, but incredibly overwhelmed service staff: Restaurant Le Bologne (2. September 2024)
The Le Bologne was rated rather high, so, I decided to give the place a try. The fact that it took them about 10-15 minutes to bring the menu and take my order should have been warning enough. Sure, I get it, there are quite a few people, but frankly, it was a bit of […]
Delicious Middle Eastern food worth trying when in Geneva: Restaurant Arabesque @ Hotel President Wilson, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Geneva (1. September 2024)
The Arabesque becomes one of the places I truly enjoy for dinner when in Geneva – because they have great Middle Eastern food, swift service, and, on average, fair prices. I went for the “Hommos Lahme (chickpea puree with thinly sliced sautéed beef with pine nuts)” (CHF 26.00), which tasted a bit differently than last […]
The last day of the pop-up – time to say goodbye: Pop Up Restaurant Tio Pisco (31. August 2024)
Since it was the last evening of the Tio Pisco, it was time to pay them a last visit. And frankly, you can see that they have grown as a restaurant over the past months since I’ve been here for the first time. The food remains overal good – there is not much of a […]
A place, which is lovely in terms of cocktails, but a bit loud in its surroundings: Late Bloomers (31. August 2024)
Frankly, the Late Bloomers is located in a place where I would normally never have walked in. However, due to the fact that the rating was rather good, I decided to give the Late Bloomers a try, and went for the cocktail with which the bar tender apparently won a competition back in 2023. And, […]
Decent place for decent seafood, but nothing more: Restaurant Brasserie Guillaume (27. August 2024)
I have – accidentally – walked by the Brasserie Guillaume a few times in the past, and was never quite sure if I would want to like the place or if I rather felt like this was a bit too crowded, but finally ended up here, because there aren’t too many places open on a […]
Very traditional Swiss dishes and perfect for playing cards: Restaurant Werdguet (26. August 2024)
To me, the Werdguet is a good place to return because they offer one or two things you don’t get really in other places – simple and traditional Swiss dishes (or close to). I went for the “tomato, mozzarella, bacon, onions salad” (CHF 14.00, which is really quite perfect as a starter. Sure, it’s heavy […]
An Irish pub in the evenings, but a good option for a business lunch: Restaurant James Joyce (26. August 2024)
It’s almost 10 years ago since I’ve last been to the James Joyce despite the fact that the place is rather close to my office – but somehow, the place never struck me as a lunch place, but turns out I was wrong. Sure, the interior is still the style of an Irish pub (and […]
One of the better Moxy breakfast selections I’ve seen: Restaurant @ Moxy Sion (25. August 2024)
I’m not always too big a fan of Moxy breakfasts, as they are very often too small, the selection is incredibly limited, and they come for a price, which is ridiculous. Luckily, at the Moxy Sion, this was different. The selection is actually quite nice, ranging from a few different cereals … … to pastry […]
