11. December 2014: Restaurant LOLA – Spanish Tapas
The concept of the restaurant LOLA is really to have a lot of different tapas – and I started with rather tasty and hot “pimientos de padrón” – and I experienced the first time that they can actually be really spicy. So far, I had always thought that they use chilis which are not too […]
11. December 2014: Restaurant Momoya
The lunch menu you get here comes with a “miso soup” as a starter which is astonishingly rich and has quite a lot of ingredients in it making it a rich start. The main course I chose was “spicy duck – cripsy duck with seasonal vegetables and chili, with steamed yasmine rice” (EUR 8.90) which […]
10. December 2014: Restaurant loca. better eat better
The “tartar of organic beef with toast and butter” (EUR 13.80) does not only look appealing but is actually also quite tasty. The meat is cut rather thickly but is aromatic and the toast rounds are absolutely lovely. The “flank steak of dry aged beef with shallots and cabbage” (EUR 19.80) was fine – the […]
8. December 2014: Restaurant Scent of Bamboo
Sometimes, the Scent of Bamboo is better than other times. This time, unfortunately, it was not that great. The “coco corn ‘surimi’ soup” (CHF 4.50) was pretty watery and did not taste like much. The “fried noodles, Scent of Bamboo style” (CHF 20.50) sounded promising but were really a disappointment. The idea of putting different […]
7. December 2014: Restaurant Baccara
I was expecting absolutely nothing when the waitress talked about the “seasonal house drink” – especially because I am not a big fan of champagne. However, the “champagne with an orange ginger bread espuma” (CHF 13.00) was surprisingly good; mostly due to the espuma though and not so much because of the champagne. The “lamb’s […]

5. December 2014: [ NOHO ] Club
The [ NOHO ] Club is spread across 4 or 5 floors – and it is worth going. The entrance fee of EUR 10.00 is decent – and the drinks – also accounting for EUR 10.00 are quite okay too. I did not manage to see all floors but the ones I made it to […]
5. December 2014: Bacardi Lounge @EAST Hotel
The Bacardi Lounge at the East Hotel is quite nice – the interior is fine, the place is full on a Friday night – but there is one downside. You are still allowed to smoke inside so your clothes stink the next day. However, there is one drink which is – I was told by […]
4. December 2014: Restaurant Brüdigams
Once more I relied on TripAdvisor – and once more I was not disappointed. The Restaurant Brüdigams is located a bit away from the city centre but it is worth the taxi ride. The evening started (pretty late, I arrived around 10pm) with an amuse bouche “cous cous salad with goat cheese” which was a […]
