17. March 2012: Bar @Marianne ‘n’ Hof
The Marianne ‘n’ Hof is basically a bar and it is a quite nice bar I must admit. The light is dimmed, it is a bit dark without being too dark, the interior is nice, wooden and makes you feel welcome. The bar tenders are quick, friendly, and the price for a beer (Helles) is […]
17. March 2012: Restaurant Ritzi
We were welcomed with a Gazpacho soup which was quite good as a refreshing start. The hint of pesto which was added to it gave it the little extra hint of being special (in a positive way). As a starter I had a rucola foam soup (EUR 6.50) which did not look too appealing but […]
12. March 2012: bar centrale
The Planter’s Punch (EUR 8.00) in the bar centrale is pretty good. But what is even better in the bar centrale is the bar itself. The concept is pretty nice, when you enter, the place is like a typical Italian coffee place. But then when you go to the back part, it is more like […]
12. March 2012: Restaurant Zum Dürnbräu
The filet steak (200gr; EUR 26,80) was served with three house sauces, a spicy pepper sauce, a dijon mustarde sauce, and yet another sauce. The meat was very tender, a bit more than medium (I had ordered medium) and the sauces fit perfectly to the meat (especially the dijon mustarde sauce). As a side dish […]
11. March 2012: Restaurant Le L’Acustre
At first it looked like a touristic place, then again the food was pretty good, and we were back in a touristic place. Short summary: Do not go there unless you pretty much have to! The Restaurant L’Acustre is located close to the Lake Geneva and pretty much the only restaurant which is open on […]
10. March 2012: Restaurant Goodman
The champagne mustard soup (CHF 11.00) was a very smooth start into the evening. While the taste of the mustard was very subtle and, therefore, not that intense, the soup had this oriignal taste of champagne (just like a champagne soup should taste). It was served with bread croutons which did not really provide the […]
10. March 2012: Atelier Bar
The Atelier bar is pretty new to Zurich and is a spin-off of the Restaurant Bärengasse which is right across the street. As it was the start into the evening, I decided to have a glass of “Grüner Veltliner” (1dl; CHF 11.00) which was okay but CHF 11.00 for 1dl of wine is a bit […]
9. March 2012: Restaurant Kim Sang
I decided to give the Kim Sang another try after a few weeks of being open. I liked the food very much the last time but the service was outstandingly bad. In any case, this time I decided to go for summer rolls with chicken breast (EUR 4.50; number B4 on the menu). The summer […]
