22. October 2015: Restaurant Olivé @ Radisson Blu St. Gallen
The breakfast selection is okay but definitely not at the upper end of the possibilities. You can find everything you need ranging from freshly pressed juices … … and cereal flakes … … as well as bacon and eggs … … and cold cuts, salmon and various cheeses. Obviously, vegetables and fresh fruit is also […]
21. October 2015: Lunaris – Chillout Bar
It is about half a year ago since I have been last at the Lunaris – Chillout Bar. And I must admit that it is still absolutely a place worth visiting. The “Kentucky Mule” (as a derivation of a Moscow Mule) is on the card and tasty – the “Gin Gin Mule” though was not […]
21. October 2015: Restaurant White Elephant
Given the White Elephant is a restaurant located in the Marriott hotel, I would probably not have walked in randomly but as the restaurant is also listed on EasyDining.ch I paid it a visit and started with “Krathong Thong (crispy tartelettes with spicy tuna salad)” (CHF 15.00). Definitely very yummy! While we had the starter, […]
19. October 2015: Restaurant Palmhof
I more or less randomly stumbled upon the Restaurant Plamhof via EasyDining.ch and I must say it was a positive discovery. The “boar ravioli by Patrizia Fontana with red wine figs and caramelized nuts” (CHF 18.50, respectively CHF 9.25 with EasyDining.ch) were absolutely lovely and aromatic. However, the portion was quite small, even as a […]
19. October 2015: Restaurant Schützengasse
Again, the lunch menu (CHF 19.50) was a very good bargain. The daily soup was a “pumpkin cream soup” which was good but could have been a bit thicker in consistency. The “Gnocchetti Sardi with Salsiccia and zucchini” (CHF 19.50) was tasty as the pasta was cooked perfectly al dente and the salsiccia was actually […]
18. October 2015: Bebek
I have heard a couple of times of Bebek but never actually managed to pay the place a visit. Finally, ti was time and I must admit that I was absolutely positively surprised. The place is very atmospheric, modern, designed in wood. Just lovely! Besides that, the service is friendly and serves your order within […]
15. October 2015: Restaurant Alter Torkel
As every year when it is time to prepare the four weeks of army for the upcoming year, it was our duty to pay the Alter Torkel a visit – and as always we started with “brawn” (CHF 15.00). The selection is good as always and the brawn is tasty as always. The “veal back […]
15. October 2015: Gasthaus Krone Trübbach
The “cold cuts and cheese platter” in the Gasthaus Krone offers a nice selection of various different cold cuts but, unfortunately, only one type of cheese which was a bit disappointing. However, all in all, the selection of cold cuts was very fine. The Gasthaus Krone is a very typical local place with this typical […]
