One of my favourites for a business lunch: Restaurant Coco Grill & Bar (11. December 2024)
The Coco Grill & Bar remains a favourite of mine for lunch – although the selection is relatively limited all in all. I still like the fact that you only get what they recommend you that day, and there is no official menu. I went for the “salmon and tuna sashimi” as a starter, which […]

A great place to play cards with the relevant equipment: Restaurant Werdguet (9. December 2024)
The Werdguet is nice since you have attentive and friendly staff who makes sure you get everything you want and need in no time. On top of that, the place is generally nice, and it is definitely perfect to play a round of cards. And while certain dishes are quite okay in terms of flavour, […]

A surprisingly swift and delicious option for lunch: Restaurant Le Cèdre Bellevue (9. December 2024)
It’s a good 14 years ago since I’ve been to this outlet of Le Cèdre and I couldn’t quite recall how it looked. What it offers is Lebanese food, and a swift option for a business lunch. The offering is relatively limited in terms of available options for lunch, but that ensures swift delivery – […]

A great last evening in Thailand before taking off back to Europe: Restaurant Resonance (3. December 2024)
Given I’ve only had a few hours in Bangkok, I wanted to find a nice place for dinner before take off back to Europe, and given all the places I wanted to dine at in the first place (to complete a few more on “The World’s 50 Best”) were not open that day, I kept […]

A lunch place with a lovely view onto a fish pond: Restaurant Jampoon @ Phulay Bay, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve (1. December 2024)
I somehow didn’t manage to make it on time for the breakfast, so, I was looking for a restaurant where you could get something to eat at noon, and there is only one option, the Jampoon, so, the same restaurant you have breakfast in. I went for the “Yum Pak Gud (local green wild fern […]

An absolutely lovely breakfast option: Restaurant Jampoon @ Phulay Bay, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve (30. November 2024)
The breakfast selection at the Jampoon is quite decent – the Ritz-Carlton ensures that you get a little bit of everything. That starts with a selection of sweet treats, a few salads … … as well as quite a few pastries you can pick from … … fresh honey from the honey comb as well […]

A ‘colourful’ option close to Altstetten Bahnhof: Restaurant Bunt (28. November 2024)
So far I have never been to the Restaurant Bunt (which means colourful in English), and I must say, I was quite positively surprised. It’s located right next to the Bahnhof Altstetten, which is convenient. The place is rather big, but also quite crowded for lunch, so, I would highly recommend you to book a […]

Kind of what resembles a fine dining experience: Restaurant Clochard (24. November 2024)
The last evening in Thessaloniki was definitely something interesting since it looked the closest thing to fine dining. I had booked a table in advance, which would not have been necessary for a Sunday evening, but better to be safe than sorry. Once you have placed your order, they will provide you with a greeting […]
