Great dishes Italian style in a traditional atmosphere: Restaurant Bindella (8. June 2020)
Although I have been to many Bindella restaurants I haven’t been to the ‘Restaurant Bindella’, so it was about time to do exactly that. The place is appealing but has also a rather traditional interior design which reminds you of an old, traditional Italian restaurant. The tables are divided with little glass dividers making sure […]
Decent for a quick work lunch: Restaurant tiffins (8. June 2020)
It is quite some time ago since I’ve paid the Tiffins a visit but given it made sure that the social distancing measures are adhered to, I decided to give it another try. I went for the daily menu which was “Black Bean Beef (beef, black bean sauce, mushrooms, bamboo, bell peppers, onions, leek)” (CHF […]
Great traditional Swiss dishes with jovial service: Restaurant Old Swiss House (7. June 2020)
I walked past the Old Swiss House a number of times and somehow I never felt like going in but since it had been recently recommended to me by friends, I figured, it’s a good location to give a try for father’s day. We had booked a table in advance and since it was only […]
Lovely service and decent dishes after a round of golf: Restaurant 19 @ Migros Golfpark Otelfingen (6. June 2020)
After a round of golf, the Restaurant 19 is a surprisingly nice location to have something small to eat. Admittedly, it isn’t really the most atmospheric place but that is easily compensated for through the friendly and caring service and the definitely tasty dishes. I went for the “Golfpark-Beef-Burger (medium, 200gr; home-made chimichurri, avocado, cole […]
Good pizzeria with social distancing measures implemented: Restaurant San Marco (5. June 2020)
The Restaurant San Marco is located on two floors – on the ground floor, there is the pizzeria and on the first floor, there is the actual restaurant. I do not think it makes much of a difference with regards to the menu but the atmosphere is definitely lovelier upstairs. The place was only semi-full […]
When they charge you CHF 10 to sit at a window table: Restaurant Loy Fah (31. May 2020)
It is really surprising how restaurants try to make money and I must say I do admire them for their creativity. When you book your table online, you can pick between different set menus (3 or four courses) which makes sense. What was surprising though was the fact that there is the option to book […]
Half-empty restaurant with a good COVID-19 concept: Restaurant Aura (27. May 2020)
Even two weeks after the lock-down had been lifted, restaurants are still half empty, if at all. The Aura has set the tables far apart to ensure the compliance with the distance requirements. And you would expect the place to be entirely full, given there are only few spaces but quite the opposite is true […]
The first restaurant visit after two months during COVID-19 times: Restaurant MASI Wine Bar (14. May 2020)
It is kind of surreal when you walk into a restaurant after more than two months of not eating out. However, in the end, things aren’t so different to how they were before. Sure, there are certain precautionary measures taken like yellow lines on the floor so you keep your distance, the waiter wearing gloves, […]
