Zürich (CH)
Decent and relatively quick lunch experience: Restaurant Nooba Europaallee (18. October 2023)
Simple and relatively quick – that’s the summary of having lunch at the Nooba Europallee. I went for the “Bibim Myun (beef stripes, yam noodles, kimchi, young spinach, onsen egg, carrots, soy sprouts, salad, sesame, Kocyu Jyan sauce)” (CHF 29.90) and I must say, I liked it. It wasn’t the best kind of noodle dish […]
Weird, when you end up paying more for the menu than ordering the single dishes: Restaurant Püente (17. October 2023)
It’s a bit ago since I’ve last been to the Püente, and I was not really blown away the last time. But after a good three years, I figured I should give it another try. We went for the “Menu Sorpresa – 5 Platos” (CHF 85.00 per person), which started with some “bread and spread”, […]
Healthy, but not really feeling like a proper lunch place: Restaurant Roots @ Balboa (16. October 2023)
After almost a week of excessive delicious eating, I felt like I should have something light and healthy. Hence, the Roots @ Balboa is really a good place for that. I went for the “Daal Soup” (CHF 11.00) as a starter, which was quite nice. It can, potentially, even be used as a main course […]
Lovely place to enjoy the view over Zurich with nice drinks: Clouds Bar (6. October 2023)
Some years have passed by since I’ve last visited the Clouds Bar. Given it was close to the pop-up I was at for dinner, it felt like the perfect place to have a last drink. I went for the “Angel Dust (Clouds Gin No. 9, Cognac, Gingerbread, Mint, Peychauds Bitters)” (CHF 21.00), which was rather […]
A delicious pop-up for meat lovers: Schnitzel- & Cordon Bleu-Pop-Up @ Restaurant Bistro k2 (6. October 2023)
I have been to the k2 Bistro in the past, but I wasn’t aware they do a Cordon Bleu and schnitzel pop-up once in a while. And the good thing is, it’s not even in the main restaurant but really in the part behind in the Maag Halle, which is quite spacious and, hence, creates […]
Tasty lunch, but too many vegetables in their signature dish: Restaurant HATO (6. October 2023)
It is years ago since I’ve last been at the HATO, but given it’s in walking distance of the office, I have decided to give the place another try. And I must say, it’s rather on the pricey side of things, but it’s worth visiting. I went for the “Hamachi (usuzukuri, yuzu truffle)” (CHF 28.00) […]
Absolutely delicious lunch, but definitely on the pricier side of things: Restaurant Parkhuus (5. October 2023)
It’s quite some time ago since I’ve last been to the Parkhuus, and I remember why. The place is absolutely lovely, the service is super professional, the food is great. However, the prices – especially for lunch – are way too high! I went for the “wild herbs’ salad (lentils, goat cheese, peach, fennel, crackers)” […]
A nice place to play cards, but not necessarily a foodie paradise: Restaurant Werdguet (3. October 2023)
The Werdguet remains my go-to to play cards. Somehow, though, when it comes to the service, the experience has shifted. There are a few new people on the block, and they are not really up to the task yet. I asked for a large bottle of sparkling water and got a glass. Which is not […]
