The last day of the pop-up – time to say goodbye: Pop Up Restaurant Tio Pisco (31. August 2024)
Since it was the last evening of the Tio Pisco, it was time to pay them a last visit. And frankly, you can see that they have grown as a restaurant over the past months since I’ve been here for the first time. The food remains overal good – there is not much of a […]
A place, which is lovely in terms of cocktails, but a bit loud in its surroundings: Late Bloomers (31. August 2024)
Frankly, the Late Bloomers is located in a place where I would normally never have walked in. However, due to the fact that the rating was rather good, I decided to give the Late Bloomers a try, and went for the cocktail with which the bar tender apparently won a competition back in 2023. And, […]
Very traditional Swiss dishes and perfect for playing cards: Restaurant Werdguet (26. August 2024)
To me, the Werdguet is a good place to return because they offer one or two things you don’t get really in other places – simple and traditional Swiss dishes (or close to). I went for the “tomato, mozzarella, bacon, onions salad” (CHF 14.00, which is really quite perfect as a starter. Sure, it’s heavy […]
An Irish pub in the evenings, but a good option for a business lunch: Restaurant James Joyce (26. August 2024)
It’s almost 10 years ago since I’ve last been to the James Joyce despite the fact that the place is rather close to my office – but somehow, the place never struck me as a lunch place, but turns out I was wrong. Sure, the interior is still the style of an Irish pub (and […]
A good alternative option for bowls for lunch: Restaurant Wild Bowls (15. August 2024)
I am usually not a big fan of the places where you can take things ‘to go’, but since you can also enjoy your lunch sitting down, I figured I’ll try the Wild Bowls and went for the “Mexican Bowl (full grain rice quinoa mix, planted chicken, guacamole, salsa, black beans, salad, coriander, nachos, chipotle […]
A perfectly swift Italian business lunch: Restaurant Certo (13. August 2024)
Despite the fact that I have been walking by this place almost every morning, I had never been eating here. So, it was about time to pay this place a visit starting with a “menu salad”, which was rather disappointing, but overall quite okay. As a main I went for the “strozzapreti al ragù di […]
Great if you’re stranded at the airport, otherwise I wouldn’t visit the place: Sablier Rooftop Restaurant & Bar (9. August 2024)
The Sablier Rooftop Restaurant & Bar has been on my to do list for quite a while by now, but somehow I had always felt like the drive out to the airport wasn’t entirely worth it. And frankly, I’m a bit torn about the whole experience. On the one hand side, the place is super […]
A surprisingly amazing place for good meat dishes: Restaurant Lotti Lokal (9. August 2024)
I was of the persuasion that I had never been to the Lotti Lokal before, and turns out, I was right. Although I am actually a bit surprised because the place is nice and serves surprisingly good food. I went for the “roasted bone marrow with bread and Maldon Sea salt flakes” (CHF 15.00), which […]
