Singaporean dishes with a lack of exciting flavours and slow service: Restaurant Sentosa (13. June 2024)
The place was lately featured and newly opened, so, I decided to give it a try. And you can feel that the place isn’t open for too long, and they are not entirely on top of things yet. Once you’re seated, you’re served some ‘crab chips and nuts’, which is nice, but it is definitely […]
A swift, fairly priced, and tasty business lunch experience: Restaurant La Bottega di Mario (12. June 2024)
I really like the lunch offering at the La Bottega di Mario – they make sure that you get your lunch served within latest 15′ or else it’s on the house. And in terms of price, the offering is great too. The lunch set CHF 34.00) this day consisted of “carrot orange salad” and “home-made […]
Good Italian food, but it feels really overpriced: Restaurant Brera Zurigo (11. June 2024)
It’s a bit ago since I’ve last been to the Brera Zurigo, so it was time to visit the place again. This time, we went for “Vitello Tonato (veal shoulder, tuna aioli, fried capers)” (CHF 26.00), which was actually quite nice in terms of flavour. However, it felt like you pay quite a lot for […]
A Peruvian-Nikkei pop-up experience combining ceviche and pisco sour: Pop Up Restaurant Tio Pisco (7. June 2024)
The Tio Pisco is a new pop-up in Zurich, which had opened only two days ago! Hence, I felt like I should give it a try. Their focus is on ceviche and pisco sour – a relatively simple combination, but also a great combination, which goes super well together. We decided to give the menu […]
A delicious, but rather expensive lunch experience: Restaurant Fujiya of Japan (6. June 2024)
It’s about 5 years ago since I’ve last been here – and it seems that it is in a 5-years rhythm that I’m ending up here. So, it was about time to have another lunch here. Part of the lunch is a “lunch salad”, which was small, but refreshing. As a main, I picked the […]
Delicious Japanese dishes, and much more likeable since you can book tables online: Restaurant Ooki Pavillon (24. May 2024)
Since it had opened about 3 years back, I hadn’t been here, although I pass it almost every day. The fact that you can now – which you couldn’t back then – book a table in advance made me give it another try. Once seated, we were served rather quickly and beverages were on the […]
Decent burgers, but you’re not asked how you want them cooked: Restaurant Stamped Burgers & Fries (24. May 2024)
Since you are now able to book your table in advance (which wasn’t possible in the beginning), I figured, I should give the Stamped another chance. This time, I went for the “Italian Gorgonzola Burger” (CHF 24.50) with “Classic Crispy Fries” (CHF 7.50). I loved the fries, as they were really nicely crispy and not […]
Go for dinner, but not when there is a concert taking place the same night: Restaurant Kaufleuten (22. May 2024)
Usually, I visit the Kaufleuten for lunch, since they offer good food and are swift with the service. Given I’ve received concert tickets for an event that evening, I figured having dinner here beforehand is probably not a bad idea. For a change, I picked the “avocado carrot salad with tomato vinaigrette” (CHF 16.50) and […]
