19. June 2014: Restaurant El Agave
The “mixed salad with Mexican salad sauce” (slightly hot) is a fair start for lunch – especially as it is included in the lunch menu, one can definitely not complain about the size or the selection of ingredients present in the salad. What is a bit of a disappointment though is the fact that there […]
18. June 2014: Restaurant Zum Grobe Ernst
Frankly speaking, from the outside I would probably not have gone to the Zum Grobe Ernst but once you are in, the picture definitely changes. The place is nicely decorated and you can see that there are people running this restaurant who care about what they are doing. When you enter the table is already […]
17. June 2014: Restaurant Bohemia
The “Black Angus tartar served with roasted home-made bread, 80gr” (CHF 22.00) is made of good quality meat and has a rich and flavourful taste. It is prepared slightly too smooth for my personal gusto but nevertheless fine. The home-made bread is aromatic but in any case it was not toasted enough but still a […]
12. June 2014: Pop-Up Restaurant “D” Summer Hub
The “D” Summer Hub is a pop-up restaurant which was just to be visited from June, 11th to June, 14th. I was lucky enough to get a table for the second night. The concept is simple, a simple location is picked, fancied up, two exquisite chefs are present and you get to pick a menu. […]
10. June 2014: Restaurant Il Pantheon
The “Insalata Caprese” (CHF 15.90) is served with good and smooth mozzarella which is pretty aromatic. The tomatoes were okay but lacked a bit in taste. I went for the weekly special – “smoothly simmered roastbeef” (CHF 31.50) which was generally speaking fine. But somehow it was not the best piece of meat they had […]
6. June 2014: Les Garçons Bar – Demain C’est Loin
The Les Garçons Bar is a nice bar located in an inner courtyard in central Zurich. The atmosphere is beautiful, the crowd is stylish – but the bartenders are as nice as a gremlin. I ordered a vodka lemon (CHF 14.00) and politely asked for a double shot of vodka when he started bitching around […]
4. June 2014: Restaurant Jade
The Restaurant Jade offers once a month a “Sushi à discretion” for CHF 49.00 where you can eat as much as you want – and basically everything on the sushi menu. I started with “Edamame” which was a refreshing start into the evening. As I had never tried it before I thought I should give […]
1. June 2014: Restoran Tač
This place is truly a local gem – and frankly, you have no chance of finding it if you are not told so by a local. And luckily, I was told to visit this place by friend who happens to live in Zagreb. After I had a rather annoying afternoon with my not-so-favourite flight carrier, […]
