Good for an afternoon break with a few nibbles to keep the alcohol balanced: Restaurant Miss Miu Badenerstrasse (1. November 2023)
The Miss Miu in the Badenerstrasse used to be “The Butcher & His Daughter”, but since it’s under new management, I decided to give the place another try. Given I’ve only had lunch shortly before, there was no need to indulge, but it was good to eat a bit of something before enjoying some alcoholic […]
A decent place for a quick business lunch: Restaurant Kaufleuten (1. November 2023)
The Kaufleuten remains a good place for a quick business lunch as it offers a good menu for a fair price, which is served rather swiftly. The “salad with home-made dressing” (CHF 12.50) is good and refreshing, however, it is a bit expensive for what you get. The “char with capers and lime filets, broccoli, […]
A superb lunch experience for a business day break: Restaurant Baur’s (27. October 2023)
The Baur’s is kind of one of my new favourites, as they really serve super tasty dishes, provide great service, and have a super stylish atmosphere. The menu today consisted of the “lentil salad” (CHF 10.00), which was not only quite a portion in terms of size, but was also absolutely delicious in terms of […]
Always a great vegetarian option for dinner: Neue Taverne (26. October 2023)
I keep coming back to the Neue Taverne or a give or take regular basis – as it really turns out to be one of my more preferred vegetarian places in Zurich, as they are really non-pretentious about it. We went for the “sourdough bread from the Eigenbrötler, dip” (CHF 7.50) and the “couscous, bell […]
A great place with delicious dishes for business lunch: Restaurant Carlton (24. October 2023)
The Carlton remains a nice place to enjoy a quick business lunch. The menu of the day included a “pumpkin cream soup”, which was a great and generous starter. On top of the actually decent size for a starter, it also turned out to be quite delicious in terms of flavour. As a main, I […]
Still a nice bar, but not at the peak of its performance anymore: Raygrodski Bar (23. October 2023)
About once every one to two years I’m returning to the Raygrodski, as it remains a simple, but nice place, which offers good drinks, and is open on a Monday evening. Firstly, I went for the “Mastix (mastisha, tropical vermouth, cucumber, sparkling wine)” (CHF 17.00), which was nice, but somehow I was missing a bit […]
Delicious dishes and amazing wine advice: Restaurant Silex (23. October 2023)
Returning to the Silex is always a good idea – for various reasons. Firstly, they constantly keep changing the menu, so you will have the pleasure to eat something different from what you’ve had the last time you’ve been there. This time we started with “hokkaido pumpkin tempura, laurel mayonnaise” (CHF 11.00), which was – […]
Probably better for cocktails than for dinner: Restaurant La Catedral Cócteles y Antojitos (18. October 2023)
It’s not so long ago since the La Catedral Cócteles y Antojitos has opened, so it was due time to give it a try. Once you’re seated you’re served a little alcoholic shot, but if you turn it down because you don’t want to drink alcohol, you’re not offered an alternative. Instead, you’re served some […]
