22. January 2013: Restaurant Schloss Brandis
I have heard a lot about the Restaurant Schloss Brandis before actually dining there so I figured once I am close to it, I should give it a try. It started with a nice selection of different butters (curry, shallots, regular) and bread. While the curry butter was intense, the shallot butter was rather smooth […]
20. January 2013: Restaurant Adler
Honestly, I was not expecting such good food when we had booked the Restaurant Adler in Fläsch. As a starter to begin the dining rape oil and butter was served. Well, one can definitely substitude olive oil with rape oil but is not my preference! After we decided to have the four course menu (CHF […]
20. January 2013: Restaurant Sonnenberg
I have read about the “Chaîne des Rôtisseurs” the first time about half a year ago. And finally, I was able to attend an event. The “Déjeuner Amical” took place in the Restaurant Sonnenberg led by Jacky Donatz and it started with a really tasty firework of amuse bouches (doughnut with Foie Gras, ham and […]
16. January 2013: Restaurant Arvenstube @Hotel Churfirsten
I was expecting a really thin and pre-cooked tomato cream soup (CHF 9.00) but I must say that I was positively surprised – the soup still had fresh tomato in it as well as roasted pine nuts which provided it with a nice little surprising effect. The main course was a bit disappointing though – […]
16. January 2013: Restaurant Seepromenade
The Restaurant Seepromenade offers a nice view if you are located in the casern Walenstadt on the lake close to which the restaurant is located. The prices are average but high for the area (CHF 3.80 for a green tea). The service is quick but quite unfriendly – which I do understand to some degree […]
14. January 2013: Restaurant Bären
Honestly, I was not even aware of where exactly the restaurant was but we drove by quite late that night (like 1am) and saw that there was still light on in the restaurant so decided to give it a try. And although we were basically the only guests (but one who was just about to […]
13. January 2013: Restaurant Desperado Höngg
The Restaurant Desperado Höngg calls itself a Mexican restaurant but as a matter of fact it is much more a “tex mex” restaurant. The “Burrito Azteca” (CHF 25.50; wheat tortilla, filled with spicy minced beef, served with salsas, salad and Mexican rice). The wheat tortilla with spicy minced beef is quite okay, the salsas are […]
13. January 2013: Steinfels Bar
The Steinfels bar is a nice place to have a couple of drinks before going to the movies or eating something in the vicinity of Hardbrücke. The place is nicely furnished and modernly designed but has a touch of brummagem. Still, it is nice to have a glass of red wine (Fabelhaft, 2009, CHF 8.40) […]
