30. January 2011: Restaurant Bertschi’s Casa Bar
Cold smoked and grilled beef NY-Style with “house sauce” and bread. The smoked beef is a real delight and enjoyment. It tastes great in combination with the house sauce and although at first it doesn’t look like much the portion of 250 gr (X-Large; CHF 38.00) is quite filling. The tenderness of the meat is […]
30. January 2011: Gran Café Motta
An Italian bar in the middle of Zurich – the Gran Café Motta is just that. The interior is a bit brighter than a usual Italian bar but the rest fits. The coffee is great – not to talk of the Cioccolata all’italiana (CHF 5.80) which is practically pure chocolate and tastes terribly good! The […]

Looking for a restaurant which is open on Sundays and has a Lunch Menu? The Rheinfelder Bierhaus “De bluetig Duume” [the bloody thumb] is definitely the right place to go. The lunch is served real quick and is also okay in taste. The starter was a clear soup with vegetables. Good to warm you up […]
28. January 2011: Ristorante da Giovanni
Regular Italian dishes for an acceptable price describes the dishes you get at the Ristorante da Giovanni best. It is some mixture between a restaurant and a self-service place as you have to go to the counter in order to get your dish. We had the pasta of the day which was two kinds of […]
27. January 2011: Restaurant Kindli
The Restaurant Kindli is a well-known restaurant to eat good and sound meals. The variety of dishes is only limited but what you can choose from the menu is definitely tasty. It already starts with “flutes” which are served right away and are light and tasty. They perfectly fit with a glass of white wine […]
20. January 2011: Pooca Club
Pooca Club is a small club with a live DJ which is absolutely packed, doesn’t offer a wardrobe, costs no entry. The music played is good but extremly loud (better bring earplugs) and the place is that packed that it is pretty difficult to dance but it works somehow. The beer is cheap (about EUR […]
20. January 2011: Bedford Café
The Bedford Café is a bar which provides you with cheap beer and has a decent interior design. Although you don’t see much of it when you arrive there at night as it’s pretty crowded and looks a bit messy. Still, the beer is cheap (EUR 2.50) and the crowd is nice. The music which […]
20. January 2011: Restaurant Raven
After a great selection of diferent starters on a plate the main dish – filet from the angus beef on baby spinache with truffled polenta diamonds (EUR 24.90) – was as delicious as expected. The beef filet was absolutely tender, cocked exactly to the point (medium as ordered) and the sauce which came with it […]
