Decent lunch and salad: Rookies (30. March 2016)
The last time I’ve paid the Rookies a visit, I went for an unhealthy burger, so I decided to try another part of the menu this time – the healthy part. The “Insalata San Diego (insalata, spinaci, pomodori cherry, filetto di pollo marinato in mojito drink, crostini di pane, salsa caesar, parmigiano)” (CHF 18.00) was […]
A true Italian experience – with flawless service: Restaurant La Cucina di Alice (21. March 2016)
I have heard about La Cucina di Alice a couple of times and I tried to get a table in the evening twice – and failed both times. This time it worked: A table was available! The waiters were very attentive and while being seated I received the menu and was asked if I wanted […]
Dim Sums in a fancy atmosphere: Restaurant parq (15. March 2016)
Where East meets West – I had passed by the parq last week and it immediately looked appealing to me. High ceilings, modern interior, a lot of wine bottles on the walls. So I got a business card and then decided to finally come by. Well, managed only a couple of days later and was […]
Comfort food at its finest at the Sports Bar: Rookies (15. March 2016)
I was curious about the place when I first entered it. And I was not that appealed when entering as it is really a sports bar which looks a bit run down. Well, first impressions can be wrong. I mean, it still remains a sports bar which looks a bit run down but the service […]
A new vegetarian restaurant in Lugano – with room for improvement: bee. bar e ristorante veg (10. March 2016)
It is ages ago since I had paid a visit to a vegetarian restaurant and being a big meat lover, I probably would not have paid the place a visit if it wasn’t for the wine pairing which was organized by InterNations.org. When I had entered the premise, I was positively surprised as the restaurant […]
There is just one place for dinner after 10pm: Restaurant Soave 10 (3. March 2016)
Once you arrive in Lugano you feel like you’re in Italy – but after some time you realize: You’re not! Well, first of all it is not as loud, maybe a bit more organized and then it really hits you. If you try to get something to eat in a restaurant after 10pm which is […]
A true Italian experience: Restaurant Bottegone del Vino (2. March 2016)
A place like that I have been looking for in Lugano! And finally, it was found! The Bottegone del Vino is booked basically every evening, so you better make sure to book your table in advance. We managed to secure a table short notice and once you’re seated and they have figured that you will […]
Where you learn to wait: Restaurant Tango (1. March 2016)
We were very happy when the Tango allowed us to order some dishes around 10:30pm when they were about to close the kitchen as it is quite a journey to find a place which offers food after that time. However, what was not considered in the process was the time for the food to arrive […]
