Sound European interpretation of Mexican food: Restaurant Cartell (28. July 2023)
It’s also a couple of years ago since I’ve last been to the Cartell – but I was looking forward to visiting it again, as I remember that the Mexican food was actually relatively decent. I went for the “tacos al pastor” (CHF 25.00), which were – obviously – not necessarily the way I remember […]
Amazing roast beef burger, but overpriced starter and sides: Restaurant PURO – The Social Club (26. July 2023)
Given it is in walking distance from my office and located quite centrally in Zurich, the PURO is a reliable go-to place. As a starter I went for the “gyoza @ teriyaki (Japanese dumplings, filled with edamame, carrots, spring leek, fried crisply and served with a teriyaki sauce and wakame)” (CHF 20.50) and while the […]
A place you need to visit if you’re into meat: Restaurant NapaGrill – Californian Fine Dining (25. July 2023)
It is a while ago since I’ve last visited the NapaGrill – Californian Fine Dining. I had good memories about the place, and I must say, these still hold true! Sure, you need to love meat, but if you do, this is actually a excellent place to visit! I went for the “organic pork belly […]
Absolutely delicious and swift business lunch offering: Restaurant Kaufleuten (25. July 2023)
Somehow, I haven’t been to the Kaufleuten in more than 10 years – not sure, why. But it is actually a place you can absolutely visit for a quick lunch. The selection of dishes is nice, they are served swiftly, and even the price performance element works. I went for a “leaf salad” as a […]
A lovely place for a glass of wine and some Italian antipasti: Restaurant Italia (24. July 2023)
I have heard about the Restaurant Italia already a few times, but somehow never managed to visit the place. Finally, it was time to do so, and it was a nice experience. The place is lovely, but also a bit alternative. But, they offer a nice selection of antipasti – and, hence, went for a […]
An exquisite place with excellent service: Restaurant Café des Banques (20. July 2023)
I didn’t have expectations when it comes to having dinner in Geneva because most places didn’t really blow my mind, however, the Café des Banques was a really nice surprise. The place is simple, and if it is warm, it is lovely to sit outside. Once you’re seated, you’re attended quite quickly and get to […]
A great steakhouse, which does all the right things: Restaurant Ampersand (15. July 2023)
The Ampersand is known as a steak restaurant, and I would say that this assessment is absolutely correct – and it’s not only a steak house, it’s a good steakhouse. I went for the “menu classic summer” (CHF 84.00), which started with “lemon foam spread and bread” and while it looked quite heavy, it turned […]
Traditional Swiss dishes and beers from central Switzerland: Restaurant Rathaus Brauerei (15. July 2023)
When you are looking for very traditional Swiss dishes, then the “veal cordon bleu (300gr) with ham from Muatathal and cheese from Nidwalden, served with salad” (CHF 42.50) is absolutely the perfect thing to eat. The portion is generous (and usually comes with fries instead of salad) and the meat is actually good. Sure, it’s […]
