A great place with delicious dishes for business lunch: Restaurant Carlton (24. October 2023)
The Carlton remains a nice place to enjoy a quick business lunch. The menu of the day included a “pumpkin cream soup”, which was a great and generous starter. On top of the actually decent size for a starter, it also turned out to be quite delicious in terms of flavour. As a main, I […]
Still a nice bar, but not at the peak of its performance anymore: Raygrodski Bar (23. October 2023)
About once every one to two years I’m returning to the Raygrodski, as it remains a simple, but nice place, which offers good drinks, and is open on a Monday evening. Firstly, I went for the “Mastix (mastisha, tropical vermouth, cucumber, sparkling wine)” (CHF 17.00), which was nice, but somehow I was missing a bit […]
Delicious dishes and amazing wine advice: Restaurant Silex (23. October 2023)
Returning to the Silex is always a good idea – for various reasons. Firstly, they constantly keep changing the menu, so you will have the pleasure to eat something different from what you’ve had the last time you’ve been there. This time we started with “hokkaido pumpkin tempura, laurel mayonnaise” (CHF 11.00), which was – […]
Probably better for cocktails than for dinner: Restaurant La Catedral Cócteles y Antojitos (18. October 2023)
It’s not so long ago since the La Catedral Cócteles y Antojitos has opened, so it was due time to give it a try. Once you’re seated you’re served a little alcoholic shot, but if you turn it down because you don’t want to drink alcohol, you’re not offered an alternative. Instead, you’re served some […]
Decent and relatively quick lunch experience: Restaurant Nooba Europaallee (18. October 2023)
Simple and relatively quick – that’s the summary of having lunch at the Nooba Europallee. I went for the “Bibim Myun (beef stripes, yam noodles, kimchi, young spinach, onsen egg, carrots, soy sprouts, salad, sesame, Kocyu Jyan sauce)” (CHF 29.90) and I must say, I liked it. It wasn’t the best kind of noodle dish […]
Weird, when you end up paying more for the menu than ordering the single dishes: Restaurant Püente (17. October 2023)
It’s a bit ago since I’ve last been to the Püente, and I was not really blown away the last time. But after a good three years, I figured I should give it another try. We went for the “Menu Sorpresa – 5 Platos” (CHF 85.00 per person), which started with some “bread and spread”, […]
Healthy, but not really feeling like a proper lunch place: Restaurant Roots @ Balboa (16. October 2023)
After almost a week of excessive delicious eating, I felt like I should have something light and healthy. Hence, the Roots @ Balboa is really a good place for that. I went for the “Daal Soup” (CHF 11.00) as a starter, which was quite nice. It can, potentially, even be used as a main course […]
After the second try – try the beef shoyu: Restaurant Susuru (10. October 2023)
It doesn’t happen often that I return to a place where I have just been to recently, but the Susuru is positioned so conveniently close, and they offer great dishes, I decided to give it another try. This time to get a bit of a larger starter selection like the “homemade Japanese grilled beef gyoza […]
