Surprisingly empty, but nice dishes: Restaurant Bones (11. September 2023)
It was not entirely easy to find a nice restaurant in Baden, but I eventually stumbled over the Bones, which was, overall, quite lovely. The place was basically empty, i.e., we were the only guests, but at least the service was friendly and made sure we’d have what we wanted. I went for the “Ossobuco […]
An interesting 2 Michelin star experience in the restaurant of a beauty clinic: Restaurant Skin’s (1. April 2023)
Not sure how we ended up visiting the Skin’s, but it was definitely interesting to be in a restaurant, which is part of a beauty clinic – or at least started out as this. By now, it’s a 2 Michelin star restaurant, which offers quite a unique and lovely experience. We went for the “7-course […]
Very traditional Swiss dishes in the countryside: Restaurant Landgasthof Pflug (14. May 2018)
Due to a rather big accident on the highway and the resulting traffic jam, I decided to spend the evening having dinner in a restaurant instead of standing in traffic for hours and ‘luck’ diverted me to the Landgasthof Pflug in Othmarsingen. What you can really enjoy here are traditional local Swiss dishes like a […]
Quite decent pizza offering in the middle of Zofingen: Restaurant La Lupa (29. April 2017)
We had originally only booked for four people but ended up being six people in the end – and they were flexible enough to ‘re-seat’ us to another table when the additional two showed up. I started with “Tortellini in Brodo (meat broth with tortellini)” (CHF 10.50) which arrived rather quickly at the table but […]
Always a safe bet for a decent meal in Zofingen: Restaurant Hotel Zofingen (28. & 29. April 2017)
The restaurant in the Hotel Zofingen looks the same since I can recall it the first time I walked in 14 years ago. We decided to go for the “three course menu” (CHF 48.00) where you basically get to pick a starter, a main and a dessert. As a starter I went for the “black […]
10. November 2015: Restaurant Casa Colonial
The “beefsteak tatar classic with toast and butter” (CHF 29.50) is definitely presented nicely. However, unfortunately, it does not match the taste. While the looks are fabulous, the taste is not so much. It is absolutely fine, yes, but it does not go a tiny bit beyond that. The service is friendly and swift, and […]
2. May 2014: Restaurant @ Hotel Raben
The salad served that evening was rather simple consisting of leaf salad and a couple of roasted bread cubes with industrially produced salad sauce so eatable but that was about it … … but “the large pork bratwurst with onion sauce” was obviously as simple but actually quite tasty although the gravy with onions was […]
15. November 2013: Einstein Bar
The Einstein Bar is a quite nice – modern and good interior, atmospheric design and friendly service. The price for a Mojito (CHF 13.00) is also acceptable and generally speaking, the bar is just about fine. Only the Mojito itself is not really that great – I mean, yeah, it’s a drink and it tastes […]
