8. January 2014: Restaurant Zattl
The “Broccoli cream soup” (EUR 1.50 if ordered with the menu) is a quite regular soup, it is nicely viscous but does not taste like much really. But a nice dash of salt and pepper does the trick and the soup is a warm starter for the main. The “salmon cream tagliatelle with fresh grana […]
6. January 2014: Restaurant Achilleus
I definitely have had better Greek food than here – I started with “Kria Piatela” (EUR 10.90) which was basically a variation of cold starters ranging from Tzatziki, rolled wine leaves and some other Greek specialties which I have never tried before. Overall, it was okay – I mean, some of it was quite tasty, […]
5. January 2014: Restaurant Lapin @ Hotel De la Paix
The Chaîne des Rôtisseurs Bailliage de Lucerne lunch (CHF 56.00) started with three different amuse bouches – tuna tartare, chicken breast mousse and chicken wings with hot dip which were all fine – my personal favourite were the chicken wings though as they were nicely crunchy and at the same time the sauce provided it […]
4. January 2014: Restaurant Kindli
It is pretty much three years ago I last ate at the Restaurant Kindli and while I had good memories I must say their start was not entirely smooth. I was a bit early and was seated immediately but then the waiting began. Noone brought me a menu or asked if I wanted to drink […]
28. December 2013 – 2. January 2014: Restaurant La Torre @ Le Méridien Etiler

The selection is not only huge but it is also very rich, aromatic and flavourful. The buffet offer starts with something I have never ever had for breakfast – sushi! The various Japanese […]
1. January 2014: Restaurant Nusr-Et Steak House
The experience at the Nusr-Et Steak House was definitely a good one – but there is one thing you have to be sure about – you have to be patient if you want to dine here. We had a table booked for 8pm and we waited around 45 minutes before we were finally led to […]
1. January 2014: Club Lounge @ Le Méridien Etiler
The dinner at the Club Lounge in the Le Méridien Etiler is actually quite good – the dishes are tasty, freshly prepared and rich. The selection ranges from dumplings, spring rolls and chicken and beef skewers to … … to sandwiches, fresh potato soup, wine leaves and filled tomatoes … … as well as fresh […]
