Bern (CH)
Beautiful location and exquisite service: Restaurant Schwellenmätteli (24. August 2022)
Since I had to be in Berne anyway, it was time to have a nice lunch. I went for the “beef tatar (spicy, roasted toast, butter)” (CHF 21.50) as a starter, which was quite lovely, but the size of the starter was a bit disappointing. What was great though was the speed and the friendliness […]
Amazing view over two lakes with a hearty cordon bleu: Restaurant Harder Kulm (27. June 2020)
If you go up to the Harder Kulm, the only reason you go there is the view and the restaurant. I mean, there is not really much to do up there, but there is a cute little funicular which takes you up the hill and down (CHF 40.00) for an 8 minute ride each way. […]
Amazing dishes but no Swiss German speaking waiters: Restaurant 1903 @ Hotel Schönegg (14. September 2019)
There aren’t too many outstanding restaurants in Wengen (which is kind of logical due to the fact that Wengen is rather small, highly touristic and the majority of the tourists do a one-day trip) but the 1903 is one of them. As a starter I went for the “fitness salad bowl “Schönegg” – salad leaves, […]
Solid and swift lunch offering: Restaurant Il Grissino (11. June 2019)
Sometimes simple dishes are the best – the “risottino carciofi e burrata (white wine risotto with artichokes, pancetta and burrata)” (CHF 24.50) was creamy in consistency and the combination of the pancetta which provided the dish with the necessary saltiness and the smooth buttery taste of the burrata was a great combination. In terms of […]
Delicious beef offering with lovely service: Restaurant The BEEF Steakhouse & Bar (2. February 2019)
When I had walked passed The BEEF I was somehow already intrigued by its name. I mean, if you are a meatitarian, how can you potentially not be fascinated by a place called ‘beef’ and written in all capital letters? Right! So, it was time to get back to this place after having walked around […]
Nice breakfast in a great atmosphere: Restaurant Hotel Alpenblick (5. August 2018)
The breakfast selection at the Hotel Alpenblick is quite decent overall – you really find a bit of everything but there is nothing outstanding or really special here. The quality of the food is good though. While the service is kind of inexistent and you basically have to organise everything yourself, the real gem here […]
Good dishes in the middle of nowhere: Restaurant Hotel Alpenblick (4. August 2018)
You would never expect that there is a one Michelin-starred restaurant hidden in the Hotel Alpenblick. I mean, the place is rather remote and not really close to anything but they do carry a Michelin-star and I guess, one can say it is deserved. The “four course dinner” (CHF 135.00) started with “bread and hazelnut […]
It just ain’t the same the second time: Restaurant Chalet Du Lac (4. August 2018)
I have been to the Chalet du Lac a couple of weeks back and as coincidence wanted it, I returned to this place again. While, last time, I was kind of super positive about it, this time, I was a bit disappointed. While the “deep-fried pike perch strips” (CHF 18.00) were quite okay overall with […]
