Absolutely outstanding service with one of the friendliest waiters in a long while: Restaurant Mövenpick Wein-Bar (6. July 2024)
It was actually not easy to find a restaurant, which was open on the day that Switzerland was playing in the European championship. But, ultimately we ended up being lucky and finding a place – and it came with the upside that the place was basically empty because somehow everyone was watching the game. We […]
Great burger, but rather insane prices: Restaurant Aurora (4. July 2024)
It’s a few years ago since I’ve last been to the Aurora – and while I had good memories of it in terms of quality of the food, I did not recall how expensive it was. Frankly, the dish I’ve picked was actually the cheapest one on the whole menu, and everything else was easily […]
Overall a great experience, but missing that authentic Mexican spiciness: Restaurant El Alebrije (3. July 2024)
It’s years ago since I’ve been at the El Alebrije, which has moved location since. In the old place, you would get relatively traditional Mexican food (well, still with a Swiss twist, but close enough to real Mexican food) and the new place, since under the same management, aspires for the same. The difference is […]
Overall, a good option for lunch, but rather on the expensive side of things: Restaurant Carlton (3. July 2024)
The Carlton remains a good choice for lunch since you always get nice dishes, but then again, just for a lunch, it’s rather on the expensive side. Today, the starter consisted of “cucumber salad, coriander, sesame and chilli” and was actually reasonably enjoyable. The portion was a bit small, but other than that good. As […]
A lovely place – even during hot summer weather – for a business lunch: Restaurant 1 Komma 7 (27. June 2024)
The 1 Komma 7 is a good place, and remains a good place for a quick business lunch. Especially in summer, when you have the opportunity to sit outside in the sun and enjoy the good weather. The soup of the day was a cold “watermelon soup” (CHF 11.70), which was absolutely refreshing and better […]
Quite interesting vegetarian dishes with a very poor pairing option: Restaurant Anoah (21. June 2024)
I had read and heard about the Anoah various times already, so, I was quite interested in trying out their concept at fine dining, especially, given the place offers vegetarian cuisine only. We went for the “five colours menu with 6 courses” (CHF 135.00). Yeah, five colours, but six courses … and opted for the […]
A safe choice if you’re looking for a good view and tasty dishes: Restaurant LUX (19. June 2024)
The LUX remains a good choice for a lovely dinner and – if weather permits – you will actually have a nice view onto lake Zurich on their terrace. Once you’re seated, you’re served “Bread & Spread”, which is the same for ever since I’ve visited the LUX for the first time. This day, the […]
A lovely restaurant mimicking the South of France in the city centre: Restaurant Marguita (19. June 2024)
The Marguita has just opened up recently and is actually quite lovely as a restaurant – they mimic the feeling of being in the South of France quite well. The place is nice, and once you’re seated, you’re served a “brioche”, which is served with their olive oil, and that is actually a quite lovely […]
