A great French onion soup as a starter for lunch: Restaurant Castellan´s Mediterranean Eatery (10. February 2025)
It’s probably also a good 3 years ago since I’ve last been here – but it turns out, the place is actually not that bad at all. Sure, their lunch menu selection is rather limited (with about two to four options), but the price point is very decent, and the food is actually good. I […]
A lovely traditional place with unreasonable prices: Restaurant Kindli (6. February 2025)
It’s a good decade ago since I’ve last been to the Kindli – and it felt like nothing much had changed since I’ve last been. The food is still good, but the prices are still quite on the high side of things. I went for the “pure green salad with extra virgin olive oil” (CHF […]
Great pasta, nice interior, but not too perfect service: Restaurant Kaufleuten (6. February 2025)
Sometimes the easiest and simplest dishes are the best ones – I went for the “spaghetti aglio olio e peperoncino (with beef filet cubes)” (CHF 36.50) and I must admit that the dish was as simple as it was delicious. The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente, and the olive oil and garlic just made […]
Damn large, but tasty pizzas on small tables: Restaurant VITO Europaallee (5. February 2025)
Sometimes you are quite surprised by what you get. I mean, I wanted to have a pizza, and it looked like they only had small pizza slices – and you could, if you wanted, order ‘a few of those’ together. So, we decided to go for a “full pizza” (CHF 47.00). Now, it doesn’t show […]
Good ramen, but in a ‘concept’ I don’t entirely appreciate: Restaurant Tokyo Express @ Bridge (4. February 2025)
I am not sure what to think about the whole ‘Bridge’ concept. On the one hand side, I like the idea that you sit down wherever in the area, and just order your food from any of the joints, and get to enjoy that. On the other hand, it’s crowded, noisy, and too hectic for […]
Functional Italian food in a noisy atmosphere: Restaurant Più (29. January 2025)
It is a while ago since I’ve last been to the Piû and so far, I think, I’ve only ever been there for lunch, so, it was about time to pay the place a visit for dinner too. Given we were a larger group, it was a good choice to share a few different dishes […]
A great find for a rooftop lunch – even in winter: Restaurant Roof Garden @ Globus (24. January 2025)
The Restaurant Roof Garden is a place, which is quite lovely for a quick business lunch. The location is great since it’s relatively central between the main station and the Paradeplatz, so, it’s easy and convenient to reach. Secondly, it’s located on the top floor of the Globus, which makes it quite nice to also […]
A great and surprising find for relaxed and swift lunches: Restaurant Old Fashion Bar (22. January 2025)
I have walked by the Restaurant Old Fashion Bar quite a few times already, but somehow I never found the place too appealing to walk in – and, in all fairness, I had always thought that it was a bar only. Turns out, that is very much not the case, but rather that it is […]
