27. April 2014: Restaurant Weinstube Alter Torkel
To start off the dinner with a nice little something a nice selection of brawn in aspic jelly (CHF 16.00) was served with a vegetable vinegraitte which was rich and aromatic – a great start to dinner. The rose wine which was served with it, a Schiller (CHF 54.00) was fine but not outstanding. The […]
24. April 2014: Restaurant Gonzen Bergwerk
The Restaurant Gonzen Bergwerk is located beautifully in front of the entrance to a former pit and has a nice little terrace where you can enjoy the sun. The place is definitely simple but very nice. The service is fine but there is definitely room for improvement as for example the spoon was missing when […]
14. April 2014: Restaurant Roter Stein
I walked by a couple of times before and I would never have been entering this place but when I randomly found it via Google Maps I was considering giving it a try and I must admit that the inside looks way better than the outside. But unfortunately the impression was correct once I had […]
9. April 2014: Restaurant Perron 9
The “grilled filet of the red mullet on wild garlic risotto with green asparagus” (CHF 32.00) was a bit of a disappointment as the fish had a very intense fishy taste and the wild garlic risotto was already half cold and therefore the cheese in the risotto was already almost solid again. Definitely not the […]
6. April 2014: Restaurant Rico’s Kunststuben
Frankly, my second visit to Rico’s Kunststuben was definitely another top notch dining experience although not as mind-boggling as my first one. But when you go to the same place a second time your expectations are obviously higher. The starter, called “Rico‘s Tonnato” consisted of goose liver cubes with a passion fruit jelly” and it […]
4. April 2014: Restaurant da Angela
When I walked out the last time, I absolutely loved this place and when I was there this time pretty much the same happened. With the menu came a “Insalata Mista” and while usually as a menu salad you get some crappy green salad with industrially produced sauce this salat was fresh, rich in ingredients […]
3. April 2014: Restaurant Mesa
My expectations were high as I have heard and read quite a lot about the Restaurant Mesa upfront and I must admit that they were met. When entering the restaurant the place is welcoming you and at the same time you see that there is absolutely enough space between the single tables so you have […]
30. March 2014: DO & CO Onyx Bar
Once a year it is DO & CO Onyx Bar time (2012, 2013) and this year it was end of March. I had a “Vodka Lemon” (EUR 13.00) which was rather dull but at least the service and the interior as well as the view you have on the Stephansdom. Overall, the place is lovely, […]
