15. August 2014: Restaurant La Cucina
I was not aware that there are restaurants in Zurich which are supported by Swiss banks for their employees which are open to the public. The Restaurant La Cucina is such a restaurant. You are free to pick one plate from the anti pasti buffet which has a nice but not overwhelming number of antipasti. […]
13. August 2014: Widder Bar @ Widder Hotel
A place which is always great for a couple of drinks is the Widder Bar in the Widder Hotel in the centre of Zurich. While I have never experienced that a “Moscow Mule” (CHF 16.50) is served in a tin cup, I must admit it was pleasant. Besides the good mixture (and the resulting taste) […]
13. August 2014: Restaurant Lumière
The “Steak Tatar Classique with toast” (CHF 28.00) is of good but not outstanding quality but at least it is served with enough pickles, capers and onions to refine it to your liking. Additionally, there is – for once – enough toast so you do not have to re-order various times. What the restaurant Lumière […]
10. August 2014: Restaurant @ Hotel Weiss Kreuz
Breakfast at the Hotel Weiss Kreuz is rather simple but overall quite enjoyable. The selection of dishes ranges from dried fruit … … to joghurt and fresh fruit … … as well as more fresh fruit and various teas … … a nice selection of jams and bread … … as well as cheese and […]
9. August 2014: Schloss Schauenstein
UNIQUE – that is the perfect description of my experience at Schloss Schauenstein. I wanted to pay Andreas Caminada, Swiss Chef of the year and currently number 43 of the 50 best restaurants in the world, a visit already for long but finally made it happen. The table had to be booked in February to […]
8. August 2014: Meta’s Restaurant Le Chef
I already wanted to have lunch at the Restaurant Le Chef a couple of times but somehow it never worked out in the end. And I must admit that it is a pity that I was not able to eat here any earlier – as the lunch was actually delicious. As a starter (part of […]
6. August 2014: Restaurant Yooji’s Bahnhofstrasse
I haven’t been at Yooji’s for approximately five years – and have never been to the one in Bahnhofstrasse – but as it was sushi day somehow, I ended up going there. While on the ground floor there is a regular shop where you can buy stuff from the shelves, you have to go downstairs […]
5. August 2014: Restaurant Isakaya
It is approximately 3 years ago since I have last been to the Restaurant Isakaya – and back then, I remember, I was not really takan aback. However, every place deserves a second chance, especially if it managed to survive for more than 3 years in Zurich, so I gave it another try. As lunch […]
