3. January 2016: Restaurant Dorfstube
When you start the military service with a dinner like that, it is always a good sign. The restaurant Dorfstube at the Hotel Hirschen Wildhaus is a very atmospheric place. The interior is lovely in its decoration. The bread is served with “rape seed oil” and lard which is perfect to start your dinner. To […]
30. December 2015: Restaurant San Jon
Frankly, it is not easy to find the Restaurant San Jon as it is located super remote even from a place like Scuol. While the drive up there in winter needs quite some caution, it is actually worth it. You can do a sleigh ride there and enjoy the beauty of the nature and sunset […]
29. December 2015: GuardaVal Gourmet Restaurant @ Romantik & Boutique-Hotel GuardaVal
If you are a larger group you are required to guarantee your reservation by credit card but it is definitely worth doing so. The evening started with a “small greeting from the kitchen – a variation of veal: veal broth, veal tartar, sweetbread, veal tongue)”. The broth was intense and lovely, the tartar smooth but […]
29. December 2015: Wine & Bar Lounge @ Hotel Belvédère
Whenever I am in Scuol, I pay the Hotel Belvédère a visit because they have a nice bar with a nice terrace. However, this time I was rather disappointed! When entering the bar I asked for space and was referred to the lobby area as the bar area had been reserved. As the bartender obviously […]
26. December 2015: Restaurant Krafft
To offer a surprise menu (CHF 65.00) is actually quite a good idea. At least it is something I haven’t seen so often yet. The first course was “seabass on leek with mushrooms and star anise”. The mushrooms and leek bed served as a good basis for the sea bass which was good but a […]
23. December 2015: Restaurant Leuen
The “beefsteak tartar (spicy with toast and butter)” (CHF 18.50) was a pretty regular, average beef tartar but what was actually outstanding was the fact that the waiter already brought more butter and toast when the tartar was served. Usually, you have to ask mid-tartar for more butter and toast and then you have to […]
22. December 2015: Restaurant Coco’s Grill
The Restaurant Coco is located very close to Paradeplatz and is kind of an institution in Zurich. And that is why it hasn’t changed much over the past year. The place is rather tiny, so not the perfect location for “private talks” but somehow very traditional and atmospheric. They offer five different menus every day […]
18. December 2015: Atelier Bar
So far I had only visited the Atelier Bar for coffee in the morning and never in the evening. But it is actually also quite a nice place to have a couple of beers in the evening and enjoy their cold platters which offer a nice selection of cold cuts and cheese. The place is […]
