Chaîne des Rôtisseurs
16. April 2015: Restaurant Ascot
The selection of appetizers which were served during the apéro was exquisite! Not only the variety which was offered but also the quality of the various little palate teasers was perfect! I was already full only after this! The actual menu (CHF 100.00) started with “veal tatar au gratin, two types of duck breast with […]
5. March 2015: Restaurant Soupière @ Hotel Schweizerhof
The lunch started with a “champagne apéritif” with small amuse bouches – although very tasty there was definitely not too much fingerfood with one piece of each for each guest. However, it was a nice start before the actual lunch. The “terrine de foie gras en cocotte, gelée au vin de Porto et des figues” […]
19. February 2015: Restaurant Zunfthaus zur Waag
It was time for another Chaîne Event after a long break and this time the topic was “Fürstentum Liechtenstein meeting Vienna”. The amuse bouche were served “à la Waag” which was definitely very pleasurable and fit perfectly with the “Classic Premier Brut, Hofkellerei von Liechtenstein, Weinviertel”. As a starter, a “stuffed bell pepper with tomato […]
9. January 2015: Restaurant Lindenhofkeller
I was absolutely looking forward to this Chaîne event as I have heard a lot of good things about it. To sum it up beforehand: I was a bit disappointed. The “snow crab salad on avocados with rock lobster and pink grapefruit” was a really good start though. The snow crab salad was aromatic, the […]
20. December 2014: Restaurant Intermezzo
Honestly speaking, for a Christmas Dinner of the Chaîne des Rôtisseurs, I had expected a bit more. But to be fair, everything was really good – just not really mind-blowing. The “clear oxtail soup with fried brasato raviolo” was a good start. The taste of the oxtail was intense and the fried raviolo on top […]
7. November 2014: Restaurant Widder
So far I have only been at the Widder with the Chaîne des Rôtisseurs and I haven’t regretted going one single time. The menu started with a “crab meat mousse with champagne and caviar velouté” served with spaghetti. While it looked rather ordinary at first, it was actually a great dish – persuading in its […]
17. August 2014: Restaurant Sonnenberg
I am not often at the Restaurant Sonnenberg but each time there is a Chaîne event, I consider it worth going to. This time it was the summer event where the grill was on full heat. As a starter several amuse bouches were offered ranging from “spare ribs” to “pulled beef burgers”, “salmon tatar”, “cucumber […]
6. April 2014: Restaurant Rico’s Kunststuben
Frankly, my second visit to Rico’s Kunststuben was definitely another top notch dining experience although not as mind-boggling as my first one. But when you go to the same place a second time your expectations are obviously higher. The starter, called “Rico‘s Tonnato” consisted of goose liver cubes with a passion fruit jelly” and it […]
