11. February 2013: Restaurant Thong Thai
“Poh-Pia” (6 vegetarian spring rolls with sweet and sour sauce; EUR 2.80) was a nice start for lunch. The spring rolls are good but the dow is pretty thick so you do not have much of the actual stuffing. As a main course, I had “Gai Ha Ros” (crispy fried chicken in a tamarind chili […]
10. February 2013: Basilica Bar
I always considered the place a bit shabby when driving by but I must say, it is actually pretty okay. The interior is divided in two parts – the non-smoking (which is basically empty at all times) and the smoking part. The place itself is nice, nothing special but nice. The drinks are quite okay […]
10. February 2013: Restaurant Alpenrose
A well-hidden gem in Zurich! Real Swiss food – newly interpreted, breath-takingly tasty! I would never have found the place myself – it was recommended to me by a friend I met at the “Chaîne des Rôtisseurs” and I am very glad, she recommended it to me! The “sauteed pumpkin ravioli by Patrizia Fontana with […]
10. February 2013: Bar @The Dolder Grand
The perfect place for an afternoon tea on a Sunday is the bar at The Dolder Grand Hotel with a view all over Zurich. Although it was pretty cold outside, it would have been worth sitting outside (but in the end it was definitely too cold). I had the “Botanic Garden Tea” (CHF 10.50) which […]
8. February 2013: Bar Gabanyi
A true hidden jewel close to the area where the Oktoberfest takes place each year in Munich. The bar is stylishly furnished with large, comfortable sofas with large cushions. More than that, the drinks served are truly outstanding – strong, tasty, fair in price (approx. 10 EUR). Although it was late I figured I should […]
8. February 2013: Goldene Bar
You seldomly experience really great tasting drinks but the bar tender at the Goldene Bar (Golden Bar) even won the Mixologist Award 2012 – and I must say, he deserved it. First I had an “Arabic Lemon Drop” made of Wyborova Vodka, Triple Sec, Fresh Lemon, Sugar, TBT Lemon Bitters, and Sumac Powder (EUR 9.50) […]
8. February 2013: Restaurant SixtySix Grill & Dine @Sheraton Arabellapark
Breakfast at the Restaurant SixtySix Grill & Dine @Hotel Sheraton Arabellapark is quite tasty. The selection of food you find at the buffet is quite nice. Starting with fresh egg, hash browns, … … to spring rolls, eggs, pancakes, … … bacon, sausages, baked tomatoes, beans, mushrooms, … … salmon, smoked fish, fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, […]
7. February 2013: Restaurant Thai Snack
“Crispy duck with red thai curry peppers, carrots, beans, peanuts in coconut milk” (EUR 8.80; called Pa-Naeng-Ped-Grob) is what you can have at the Restaurant Thai Snack. The service is pretty much inexistent as you have to order your food at the counter (and it will be brought to your table) but the food is […]
