Not only good for lunch, but also enjoyable for dinner, but pricier: Restaurant LUX (11. December 2023)
I’ve been to the LUX a few times, but so far I’ve never managed to go for dinner and only had the lunch experience. However, I must say that the dinner experience is at least as good, but a bit on the pricier side compared to lunch. As for lunch, the dinner starts with bread […]
Delicious Persian food a bit outside of Zurich: Restaurant Mama Persia (26. November 2023)
While I have been to this exact location, I’ve never been to the Restaurant Mama Persia. Given a friend with Persian roots wanted to indulge in Persian cuisine on a Sunday evening, the Mama Persia seemed like a good option. I have no clue what exactly she had ordered, since my Farsi is obviously non-existent, […]
A lively Italian experience, but kind of lacking that little extra, food-wise: Restaurant La Baracca (24. November 2023)
To me, the La Baracca is always a reliable location for a nice Italian dinner – it is crowded, a bit loud, but it offers great food in a very lovely atmosphere. However, especially for Italian food, the price is quite steep. As a starter, the choice was the “tartare di fassona con fonduta di […]
Delicious pulled beef burger in a limited privacy setting: Restaurant AuGust (24. November 2023)
It’s about 1.5 years ago since I’ve last been to the AuGust, so I was quite curious to try the AuGust again. Given they have their own burger, I decided to give the “AuGust Burger (pulled Swiss beef from the Château de Raymontpierre farm, rocket salad, red onions)” (CHF 29.00) with “bacon” (CHF 3.00) and […]
An absolutely outstanding Italian dining experience: Restaurant Gabbani (23. November 2023)
I have only been to the Gabbani for coffee, so I was more than curious to experience the Gabbani for dinner. As a starter, I went for the “mozzarella di bufala with cherry tomatoes and basil cream” (CHF 27.50), and with the generous application of olive oil, the dish really is a great starter into […]
The perfect place for a swift, but tasty business lunch experience: Restaurant 33 (23. November 2023)
The Restaurant 33 is and remains a safe bet for a quick and tasty lunch. Even if you might have to wait a tiny bit in the beginning until the menu is served, once it’s served, things really only take very little time. We placed the order and within a few seconds, the “zucchetti cream […]
A perfect lunch break option with great dishes for a tremendously fair price: Restaurant The Old Inn (15. November 2023)
The Old Inn has become a go-to-restaurant for me since they manage to perfectly combine good food in a nice atmosphere with swift service and all of it for a fair price. As a starter, I had gone for the “mushroom toast (brioche, Onsen egg, soy brown butter)” (CHF 23.00), which was tasty, but definitely […]
Decent for a business lunch, but nothing to be overly excited about: Restaurant Hermanseck (2. November 2023)
It’s about 8 years ago since I’ve last been to the Hermanseck, but the place is still there as it used to be. I went for the “carrot coconut soup”, which was part of the menu, and I must say it was rather enjoyable all in all. The portion size is decent, and they manage […]
