17. December 2015: Restaurant Positano
Friendliness is definitely not the strongest point of this restaurant. When we entered the restaurant, admittedly around 9pm which might be considered late for Zurich standards, we were welcomed. I mean, I’m sorry. We were not welcomed. Only upon kind of actively pushing towards a table we were seated. With a pleasant face which was […]
15. December 2015: Restaurant The International
The International is really a great place if you want to try some beers as the selection of beers they have is quite exhaustive! As it is more a bar specialized in beers than a restaurant, you do not get to order that many different types of food. So I decided to go for the […]
14. December 2015: Restaurant hidden kitchen Park
The hiddenkitchen is one of these healthy places – and quite a lovely one. They always offer a limited selection of various dishes you get to pick at the counter. This day they offered “lamb tajine with honey, saffron, ginger on couscous with parsley” (EUR 8.80) and a “daily soup” (EUR 3.90). While the portions […]
14. December 2015: Julius Meinl am Graben
To return to the Julius Meinl am Graben during winter time is definitely not as lovely as when it is summer and you can sit outside. However, the “Double Espresso” (EUR 4.20) is still fine. The atmosphere inside is more the one of a run-down coffee bar somewhere in the south than what you would […]
14. December 2015: Restaurant Shambala @ Le Méridien Vienna
The breakfast selection at the Le Méridien Vienna is quite exhaustive and really leaves no room for open wishes. Besides maybe steaks. Steaks can always be eaten. However, you get everything ranging from cheeses to other diary products … … yogurts, small snacks … … various cold cuts … … vegetables, hash browns, eggs, bacon, […]
13. December 2015: Restaurant Elements @ Sheraton Grand Esplanade
The breakfast buffet at the Restaurant Elements in the Sheraton Grand Esplanade is fine. You get a decent selection of different things ranging from juices … … to bacon and eggs … … including an egg and omelet station … … cold cuts … … cheese and veggies … … as well as fruit and […]
11. December 2015: Restaurant borchardt
The Restaurant borchardt is a good place to enjoy some drinks (i.e. Vodka Lemon, EUR 10.00) in the evening. The place is vivid and very crowded on a Friday evening. In addition to that, the atmosphere is rather stylish. However, if you want to make sure you have a table to sit down, it is […]
11. December 2015: Ristorante Muret La Barba
A couple of months ago I have been at the Ristorante Muret La Barba already. And I ended up here rather randomly again. The “tagliere di affettati misti, formaggi e verdure, medio” (EUR 18.50) is still a great selection of different treats – different cold cuts, pickled vegetables, and cheeses. The “burrata su rucola e […]
