9. May 2013: La Parrilla Argentina
After a hard party night, a breakfast at La Parrilla Argentina is just the right thing. You get heavy stuffed bread (pintxos) and the famous “tortilla” with cheese and ham. Truly delicious – for only EUR 19.50 you get 2 beers, 4 coca colas and 4 pintxos. The place is – I guess – pretty […]
8. May 2013: Abidía del Gin & Tonic
As my frequent readers might be aware – I am not that fond of Gin. I only once so far had gin I enjoyed – which was in Barcelona at the Restaurant La Royale. Apparently, Spaniards have something with gin, the rest of Europe doesn’t: They know how to prepare it so it does not […]
8. May 2013: Restaurant Corinto Y Oro
What a great kick-off of five days of eating, drinking and partying – we walked by the Restaurant Corinto Y Oro and it just looked appealing to us. Mainly because they had an offer of 10 pintox (which are the Bilbao way for tapas) and 1 bottle of wine for EUR 27.50. We started with […]
6. May 2013: Jules Verne – Panorama Bar
The “Antipasti platter” (CHF 21.50) is fine – parmesan cheese, olives, dates wrapped in bacon and last but not least vegetables alla grigliata. It fits especially well with a glass of wine (1 DL Primitivo, CHF 9.50) and some water (CHF 7.00 for 3,3dl). What is truly amazing though is the view you have from […]
6. May 2013: Restaurant Strozzi’s Fraumünster
The daily menu (CHF 25.90) started with an “insalata mista” which was rather boring. The salad was fresh of course but the sauce did not really provide me with the taste-wise blast. The “Orecchiette with pesto cream sauce” on the other hand were quite fine. The pasta was cooked al dente and had this slight […]
4. May 2013: Restaurant @Hotel Zofingen
The “white wine soup from Dagmarsellen with smoked trout filet” (CHF 9.50) was okay but a bit dull. The number of pieces of trout filet were also rather limited but fine. The “tatar with toast and butter, prepared spicy” (130gr, CHF 21.50) was fine. The meat was good, cut finely and was overall tasty. The […]
4. May 2013: Restaurant La Lupa
I experienced something I did not expect: the pizza was astonishingly good. I had “Pizza del sole con pomodori secchi, olive e alici, piccante” (CHF 18.50) and wanted salami as an additional topping (CHF 2.00). The dow was thin and crispy, the pizza was not burned (like one of my company) and it was not […]
3. May 2013: Restaurant @Hotel Raben
A very simple meal is what you get for CHF 30.00 at the Restaurant @Hotel Raben. It starts with a salad with industrially made salad sauce … … and goes on with French Fries … … and a schnitzel. The breading is fine, the schnitzel is generally tasty and juicy, so quite okay but definitely […]
