25. March 2015: Wine Tasting @ Rindchen’s Weinkontor
Sometimes it is absolutely worth to visit these InterNations.org events. This evening was one of these moments. There was a Wine Tasting at Rindchen’s Weinkontor. I signed up for it and was lucky enough to get a space. One word ahead, Rindchen’s Weinkontor is definitely worth a visit, but (!) it is definitely not central. […]
25. March 2015: Restaurant Better Burger Company
Sometimes you expect absolutely nothing and you get absolutely everything. When I heard about the “Better Burger Company” it sounded promising – when I saw the place, it wasn’t so promising anymore. When I tried the burger – I was happy! I went for the “Ice Tea menu with the BBC Burger with a beef […]
24. March 2015: Restaurant Caramba Especial
The Restaurant Caramba Especial is very “especial”. I saw the restaurant on TripAdvisor where it was ranked among the city’s best restaurants and decided to give it a try. They offer a lovely “four course menu” (EUR 35.00) which is pretty flexible in its design. Franco, the owner, basically designs the menu every day newly […]
23. March 2015: Restaurant Florhof
As an amouse bouche the kitchen offered a “pea soup” which was definitely something quite uncommon as a starter but also something surprisingly nice as it was a warm amuse bouche which is not too common. I went for the “three course menu” (CHF 80.00) to get a good taste of the quality of the […]
23. March 2015: ONYX Bar @ Park Hyatt Hotel
The ONYX Bar in the Park Hyatt Hotel has always been a good address to sit down during the afternoon and relax with a cup of tea. The “lemongrass tea” (CHF 8.00) seems quite expensive at first for a tea but you get more than enough water so you can actually have like 3 or […]
22. March 2015: Restaurant Bürgli
A small cube of “bulgur with beetroot foam” was served as an amuse bouche from the kitchen. The dish was light and tickled your taste buds so your mouth was ready for the evening. As a starter I went for the “marinated asparagus salad with honey and almond splitters with delicious graved salmon prepared Bürgli […]
22. March 2015: Restaurant Gasthaus Leonhardt
The Gasthaus Leonhardt is perfect to sit outside in the sun. The “bell pepper cream soup with roasted bell peppers” (EUR 4.20) is rich and aromatic and the perfect starter for a small lunch. The “tagliatelle with cooked savoy cabbage cabbage, bacon and parmesan” (EUR 8.90) were surprisingly good. I really had not expected much […]
21. March 2015: Restaurant Muret La Barba
The “Tagliere di affettati misti, formaggi e verdure” (mixed Italian cold cuts, cheeses and pickled vegetables) (EUR 17.00) is a nice start into the evening. The food is good and the selection is decent. The “tagliolini with bianchetto truffles (“tagliolini al tartufo bianchetto”)” (EUR 14.50) were fine. The noodles were perfectly al dente, the truffle […]
