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 […]
Outstanding service in a mind-blowing interior: Restaurant La Selva (15. October 2023)
I was recommended to visit the La Selva by a friend, and I must say, it’s a great recommendation. Once you’re seated, you’re served a few “smoked edamame” on the house, and they were actually much better than I had expected. As starters, we went for the “corn toast with yellow fin tuna and guacamole” […]
An absolutely well-deserved Michelin star with outstanding service: Restaurant Mont Bar (14. October 2023)
When you read the name ‘Mont Bar’ you wouldn’t expect this to be a place with a Michelin star, but it has one, and I feel it deserves one. I was a bit late, which seemed to be a problem since they have two seatings. Oopsi! Well, since there is basically just the “Tasting Menu” […]
A decent Galician restaurant experience: Restaurant La Penela (14. October 2023)
Given bedtime was super late, I ended up having a late lunch again the next day. I wasn’t really sure where to go, so I looked for something in walking distance of the hotel, as I really didn’t want to eat another 10 courses for lunch after a felt 20 courses the day and night […]
A delicious Michelin-starred restaurant going the extra mile: Restaurant Caelis (13. October 2023)
The Caelis is on the first floor of a hotel and the entrance is a bit hidden. Once you’re inside, you realise that the place is not really huge, but at the same time it isn’t small either. So, from an interior design perspective, it creates a feeling of crowdedness despite the fact that it’s […]
