2. April 2013: Restaurant Ojo de Agua Weinkontor
Amazingly tasty tatar (CHF 29.00) with salad is what you get at the Restaurant Ojo de Agua Weinkontor. The meat is great in taste and quality but the way it was prepared was just a slight bit to ‘creamy’ for my personal gusto. I mean, I like when the meat is tender but it was […]
1. April 2013: Clouds Bistro Bar
The Clouds Bistro Bar is a nice place in the tallest building of Zurich. The bar is located on the top floor of the Prime Tower and you have a nice view over the city – besides the fact that what you see is not so nice because Zurich is actually pretty ugly from above. […]
Frisch gepresst – aus dem Notizbuch eines Spitzenkochs
And yet another book which has been in my stash for years and I never managed to read – but Easter has its benefits, doesn’t it? “Frisch gepresst” by Ivo Adam (owns four restaurants four restaurants in Ascona, Switzerland) is very refreshing to read. It is a collection of anecdotes, lists, facts, and last but […]
28. March 2013: Restaurant Bärengasse
“Fire and Ice” was a great start for lunch. The “carrot-chili-ginger soup with mango sorbet” (CHF 12.00) was perfectly balanced between down-to-earth and high-up-in-the-sky. The combination of the spiciness of the chili and ginger combined with the sweetness of the mango sorbet made it absolutely delicious. The “beef tatar Ojo de Agua” (CHF 36.00) I […]
26. March 2013: Mausefalle
The Mausefalle is a rather simple club – it is a place you want to go if you like beat-music. I was there in the framework of an InterNations.org event and it was okay but it is definitely not really the place to be when in Zurich. In any case, the drinks are good in […]
26. March 2013: Restaurant Kaufleuten
The starter was already delicious – the “avocado with a basil vinaigrette and carrot salad with fresh ginger” (CHF 13.50) was a blast. Refreshing, light, and rich in taste. A perfect start for lunch. My main course was a “beef tatar (bio)” (CHF 32.00) with freshly toasted bread. The beef tatar was prepared to my […]
25. March 2013: Restaurant Dörfli
Simple but tasty Swiss food is what the Restaurant Dörfli has to offer. I had the “Cordon-Jaune” (pork, filled with mountain cheese, onions wrapped in “Bündnerfleisch”; CHF 23.50). The meat was good and still somewhat juicy, the stuffing was salty but tasty and last but not least the bread crumb crust was good too. The […]
23. March 2013: Restaurant Casa Ferlin
The night had a special topic “liver and kidney” and I was very surprised how tasty this can actually be. I mean, I have had quite some liver before in my life, but I have never tried kidney before. Well, as a starter we were served “Stuzzichini vari” (various appetizers). The were all fried and […]
