6. February 2013: Restaurant Kubu am Opernplatz
A bit uncommon as an appetizer for lunch but the combination of bread and dried ham was definitely a good start. The ham was tasty and the bread rich. As a starter I had a “beetroot soup with horseradish, apple and smoked salmon” (EUR 6.00). The soup had an intense beetroot taste and was quite […]
5. February 2013: Restaurant Asian Moon
Lunch at the Restaurant Asian Moon is unique in Zurich as it is one of the few places where you actually get fine food for very acceptable prices. I had one of the business lunch menues – the Cantonese duck in an orange sauce with rice (CHF 24.50). The dish was fine but nothing outstanding […]
4. February 2013: Restaurant Piacere
A simple dish for a very fair price is what you get at the Restaurant Piacere for lunch. I had the Menu Piacere (CHF 19.50) which started with a green salad with Italian dressing. The salad was fine, nothing special. As a main course, a “Scaloppine di maiale al limone con tagliatelle” (pork schnitzel with […]
1. February 2013: Restaurant Uto Kulm
The Cheese Fondue (approx. CHF 55.00 per person) was served with potatoes and bread and the moitié-moitié cheese mixture was very good. It was intense in taste and very rich. The price for the fondue is quite okay if you consider the place. The service is limitedly optimal – the waiter is not really friendly […]
31. January 2013: Restaurant Schloss Wartenstein
The Restaurant Schloss Wartenstein is great for two reasons – amazing view and very flexible service! I ordered a beef tatar (CHF 32.00) and right in the moment when it was served I had to get up and leave the restaurant and I told them that I will be back. Well, they managed to arrange […]
31. January 2013: Restaurant Trocadero
Regular lunch for a fair price is what you get at the Restaurant Trocadero – the menu (CHF 19.00) starts with a leaf salad which is okay. The sauce is obviously industrially produced and therefore only limitedly tasty but still fine. The Pizza “Mamma Mia” (with tomatoes, mozzarrella, salame picante, shoulder of ham, bacon) is […]
28. January 2013: Restaurant Zunfthaus zum Löwen
A truly great dining experience is what you find at the Restaurant Zunfthaus zum Löwen – it starts with a “tandoori bread with lime oil”. The warm taste of curry fits astonishingly well with the lime oil. The greeting from the kitchen kept expectations high – the “tomato foam terrine with a beef carpaccio” was […]
24. January 2013: Restaurant Mühle
Dining at the Restaurant Mühle is a great experience – it started with something simple like “salted lemon butter” which was served to the bread. It was a fine start into the evening. The amuse bouche served was “trout mousse with grilled leek with fish eggs and codfish”. The grilled leek was fine, the trout […]
