23. July 2011: The Restaurant at the Dolder Grand
Dining in “The Restaurant” of Heiko Nieder in the Dolder Grand Hotel is a truly amazing and unique experience. The journey starts with greetings from the kitchen: Bread cracker with Fridolin (cheese) and lovage; blini sponge with boletus, chive, and crème fraiche; green almonds with apple and stevia; and a surprisingly great combination of cherry […]
21. July 2011: Ristorante Vapiano Bogenhausen
The pasta at the Ristorante Vapiano Bogenhausen varies in quality depending on who is the cook – but generally, the quality of the pasta is pretty good. The penne with rucola, dried tomatoes, garlic, and cheese (EUR 8.00) tasted good. The pasta was cooked to the point, the ingredients were tasty and fit together well. […]
19. July 2011: 8seasons
For Tuesdays, the 8seasons is definitely the place to be. The crowd is good, the DJ plays music which fits the crowd and makes it move (it’s a bit too loud but earplugs help), and the drinks are good too. The waitresses behind the bar are friendly and the drinks are served rather quick. A […]
14. July 2011: Restaurant SixtySix Grill & Dine
The Reef & Beef event taking place every Thursday in the Restaurant SixtySix Grill & Dine of the Sheraton Arabellapark Hotel is absolutely persuading! You get to eat starters, many different meats, a nice selection of seafood, and deserts from the buffet. The selection of starters is pretty nice – only there is not really […]
11. July 2011: Nektar Beach
The Nektar Beach offers good wine by the glass (2DL, Cabarnet Merlot, EUR 6.00) as well as other things like Hugo (EUR 7.50) or Prosecco (EUR 6.00). The waitress was very friendly, built up a special seating possibility just for us and brought us our drinks within no time. Generally, the atmosphere in the Nektar […]
11. July 2011: X-Tra Club
The X-Tra offers parties and concerts on a weekly basis. I was there to see Molotov, a Mexican band (pre-sale: CHF 54.00; evening: CHF 60.00). The club itself is somewhat okay as in the middle in front you can find the stage where the band actually plays. Also, usually you can go to the second […]
10. July 2011: terrasse bar
A nice glass of white wine (CHF 10.00; Sauvignon blanc) in the terrasse bar in Zürich is a good Saturday afternoon experience. The terrasse bar is nice, the waitresses are friendly and helpful, the wine is good, the crowd is quite okay and the prices are decent. Overall, if you have the time to sit […]
7. July 2011: Ristorante Napoli da Gerardo
Somewhat high-priced but quite good Italian food is what you get at the Ristorante Napoli da Gerardo. The mozzarella of the Insalate Caprese (CHF 14.50) is soft and tasty, the tomatoes were a bit boring but in combination with the mozzarella, it was quite good. The main course, a Filetto di Manzo (beef filet; CHF […]
