15. February 2014: Restaurant Miracle
Lately, when going out for dinner in Zurich I used TripAdvisor as a reliable source for good food and, therefore, I used it again and decided to pay the restaurant ranked #18 (out of 1’192 restaurant in Zurich) a visit. As a starter to share I went for a “Bruschetta with fresh tomatoes, olive oil, […]
8. February 2014: Restaurant La Taqueria
When walking by the last time I was already curious what is being built right there and I must admit that I was actually going there only to figure that it was still closed (and hadn’t opened by then) – La Taqueria where, as the homepage had promised, true Mexican food was served. Obviously, I […]
4. February 2014: Restaurant Pizzeria Buongiorno
The “Gnocchi in rocket salad pesto with cherry tomatoes and mozzarella” (EUR 8.00 – including dessert) were surprisingly fine – the taste was fine, the pesto intense but not overwhelming and last but not least the consistency of the gnocchi was enjoyable. Unfortunately, that was definitely not the case for the dessert – the “panna […]
1. February 2014: Restaurant Locanda @ Hotel Carlton
I have not attended a Chaîne event in more than a month – and I just remembered why I love going there. The first course that night was a “guinea fowl gâteau with Burgundy truffles, sautéed romaine lettuce and white port” which was a great starter: smooth, creamy, subtle combination of flavours! While being too […]
31. January 2014: Restaurant The Bite
The Bite opened recently and already got a high ranking on TripAdvisor (#11 of 1185 restaurants in Zurich). I must say, I do understand why it is ranked #11. I went for a burger called “The Hattrick” and retrospectively, already the description should have made me realize the size of this meal: “3 Swiss beef […]
31. January 2014: Restaurant LaSalle
When I booked a table at the Restaurant LaSalle, my companion hinted that it was a “good choice” – and he was right. The “shortly grilled cold tuna, marinated the Asian way with sesame, on rocket salad” (CHF 23.00) had a strong agreeable flavour and was served on fresh rocket salad. The “beef tartare with […]
28. January 2014: Restaurant Peking Garden
The “Peking noodles (fried noodles with vegetables prepared the peking garden way) with duck” (CHF 18.50) is a quickly served hearty dish – not a particularly good dish to be frank but it feeds you. At least the dish is brought to your table within a couple of minutes after you’ve ordered only. The service […]
24. January 2014: Scotch Club
Sometimes you only realize after some time where you’ve ended up – the place looks appealing from outside but once you go downstairs, paid the EUR 12.00 for the entrance and dropped your 1 EUR for the cloakroom, you figure where you are. The audience is breath-taking – but not with a positive connotation! Muscle […]
