When the spice is missing – good but rather straight-forward: Restaurant Neumarkt (12. January 2023)
It is about 7.5 years ago since I’ve last been to Neumarkt and I didn’t really have a memory of the place, so, it felt like going to a new place. As a starter, I went for the “potato leek soup (with crème fraîche and chive oil)” (CHF 14.00). The portion wasn’t massive, but it […]

A nice 1-stared Michelin restaurant, but nothing mind-blowing: Restaurant Le Table du Lausanne Palace (11. January 2023)
When it was decided to visit Le Table du Lausanne Palace, I was excited since the place sounded so fancy. And when you enter, it somewhat is. The view onto Lake Geneva is supposedly lovely (I mean, it was nice, but since it was already dark, you couldn’t really see too much besides the lights […]

Quite an interesting journey across the continents: Restaurant Eat Me (10. January 2023)
When I walked into Eat Me, I felt like I’ve been here already – and it turns out, I have. I haven’t visited many places, but about three years back, I had a client lunch in this place. I had generally a good memory of it, but didn’t consider it specifically fancy. That was mainly […]

Another decent Luigia lunch experience: Restaurant Luigia Lausanne (10. January 2023)
Life sometimes plays funny games. I haven’t been to any Luigia branch for a year, but ended up going to the Luigia in Zurich the day before. And this day, I ended up in the Luigia in Lausanne. I was expecting it to be rather crowded as well, but it turned out that it was […]

A perfectly swift and industrialised lunch experience: Restaurant Luigia Zurich (9. January 2023)
It’s almost a year ago since I’ve last been to the Luigia Zurich, despite the fact that I’ve driven by a variety of times. What keeps me a bit reluctant to go is the fact that the reservation process is not really what one would call efficient and user-friendly. Before you actually have the possibility […]

A hotel restaurant which is surprisingly decent: Restaurant @ a-ja Zürich (21. December 2022)
Ending up in the a-ja was more of a random thing, since it’s not exactly in the middle of Zurich. The restaurant at the a-ja is more of a regular hotel restaurant, but it’s okay to also come here just like that. As a starter we went for a “tarte Alsatian style (bacon, onions, crème […]

Paper in the salad – but handled professionally: Restaurant Münsterhöfli (21. December 2022)
It’s a bit ago since I’ve last been to the Münsterhöfli, and I was not aware they also had a floor upstairs. While it’s quite crowded downstairs, the area upstairs is actually quite nice and definitely great for a lunch break. I went for the soup of the day, which was a “bread soup” (CHF […]

It just remains the perfect place to play cards: Restaurant Werdguet (20. December 2022)
The Werdgut just remains the perfect place to have a good bite, and to play cards. I went for the “menu salad” which was surprisingly big and generous for a menu salad. And, on top of that, it was also quite tasty. The “perch crisps with French fries, vegetables and tartare sauce” (CHF 28.00) are […]
