Chaîne des Rôtisseurs
14. September 2013: Palais Coburg
The little dishes served at Palais Coburg were nice – I mean, of course a little tomato mozzarella stick or shrimp balls with a sweet chutney are a great way to start the day. But what was actually even better was the large selection of wines we were able to try – amazing selection and […]
13. September 2013: Zum Heurigen Wolff
The Heuriger is typical Viennese institution – in the framework of the Chaîne des Rôtisseurs, an event took place that evening. The place itself was quite nice, simple, dark, not too much light, and last but not least also comfortable although on the first floor you can only find hard wooden benches to sit on. […]
8. August 2013: Restaurant Rico’s Kunststuben
Although the apéro took place outside while it was pouring cats and dogs, it was a good start for lunch. To the various incredibly tasty amuse bouche like tuna filet on rusk, tatar in a cornet, small foie grass balls and lemongrass-curry soup a refreshing berry champage was served. The service was already at this […]
7. July 2013: Restaurant Accademia del Gusto
While it was quite a hot day it got immediately better – the tasty white wine served combined with a very refreshing “cold melon mint soup” which immediately cooled you down. The “burrata with sprouts” was obviously not as refresing but accordingly taste-intense! The prosciutto wrapped around the grissini provided the perfect entrée for the […]
14. June 2013: Restaurant Widder
The “Midsommar” is a traditional Swedish event which is celebrated every year with the Swedish ambassador in Zurich. And their event is absolutely worth visiting – it starts with a nice aperitivo outside of the Widder restaurant and quite some champagne. But once in the dining area you have the possibility to enjoy a great […]
25. May 2013: Grand Chapitre du Printemps – Grand Dîner de Gala @Kongresscenter Basel
The “salmon smoked with cherry wood served with lemon purée and herb salad” was incredibly tender so the fork basically slid through it without you putting any effort into parting it. It was armoatic, rich and the combination with the lemon purée was very subtle and smooth. The “Furore bianco DOC, 2011, Marisa Cuomo, Costa […]
26. April 2013: Restaurant Zunfthaus zur Waag
Once more a great experience in the framework of the Chaîne des Rôtisseurs. The topic of the night was “Dîner Oenologique – Fiesta Español” and it started with freshly cut “Jamón Iberico de Jerez” which was truly luscious. Also, I’ve learned that Spanish ham has to be a bit “sweaty” when served so the fat […]
23. March 2013: Restaurant Casa Ferlin
The night had a special topic “liver and kidney” and I was very surprised how tasty this can actually be. I mean, I have had quite some liver before in my life, but I have never tried kidney before. Well, as a starter we were served “Stuzzichini vari” (various appetizers). The were all fried and […]
