Open late, which is appreciated, but also overpriced if you go for pasta: Restaurant Loft Five (17. March 2025)
Given I work in the vicinity of the Loft Five again, I’m frequenting the place a bit more and decided to go for the “truffle tagliolini (truffled tagliolini, fig, broccolini, pomegranate, beurre blanc)” (CHF 36.00), which sounded delicious, but turned out to be quite average in reality. The noodles weren’t bad, and I definitely enjoyed […]
Been there, done that, won’t go again: Restaurant Mekong (16. March 2025)
Sometimes you end up in places where you didn’t really plan or expect to end up in – and the Mekong was definitely one of these. It is, at heart, a take-away place, but it offers also the option to eat right there and then. And since we were a group of 6, I had […]
A decent option for a quick business lunch: Restaurant Brasserie Süd (14. March 2025)
I haven’t been here in a while because I found the place too noisy to have a proper conversation, but given it is located conveniently central, I figured I’d give it another try. I decided to go for the “business lunch” (CHF 43.00) that day which consisted of a “potato soup (roasted leek oil, brioche […]
Remains a solid choice for playing cards: Restaurant Werdguet (12. March 2025)
In all fairness, I’m always only here when we play another round of cards with friends – and I often go for the same like the “tomato, mozzarella, bacon, onions salad with garlic sauce” (CHF 14.00), which feels somewhat overpriced, but at the same time also offers a tasty mash-up of flavors. The “veal liver […]
A surprisingly positive dinner experience where I hadn’t expected it: Restaurant Bank (11. March 2025)
It’s ages ago since I’ve last been to Restaurant Bank – and in the context of work, I ended up here again. We decided to go for a few different starters like the “tuna tartare (avocado, pickled onions, mango)” (CHF 19.00), which was quite tasty as a combination of flavors, but seemed a bit too […]
Great rooftop experience when the first rays of sun are out: Restaurant Modissa Rooftop (11. March 2025)
It’s a while ago since I’ve been at the Modissa Rooftop, but I figured one might as well give it a try again, given the first rays of sun just had come out. Given they are somewhat renovating the building, it was a bit tricky to get up there since they had not blocked “to […]
A solid selection for a swift Asian-inspired lunch: Restaurant Miss Miu Europaallee (10. March 2025)
I like the concept of the Miss Miu Europaallee, that you could in theory order via your mobile phone, but somehow that doesn’t fully work yet. However, the selection of dishes remains good. I went for the “Late Sunset (Korean fried chicken, glazed with Gochujang & artisan sauce)” (CHF 14.50) as a starter, and that […]
A dining experience with left me with stomach issues for a good week: Restaurant Stadtkäserei (3. March 2025)
That’s what I call a once-in-a-lifetime experience – I was fighting with stomach issues for about a week after having dined here. And I cannot even say what it was, but the “Alpstein chicken cordon bleu (with blue cheese, turkey ham, sweet potato, and a yogurt truffle dip)” (CHF 38.00) wasn’t bad. Admittedly, it wasn’t […]
