Overprized hotel and average breakfast: Restaurant Red @ Hotel 7132 (28. February 2016)
When you stay at the Hotel 7132, you will end up paying around CHF 400.00 for a room – and then you will have to pay another CHF 30.00 for the breakfast. The price for the breakfast is fine but that you are charged an additional CHF 30.00 per person when the room is rather […]
Not so satisfying main course: Restaurant La Cucina (27. February 2016)
The “3-course menu from the Grisons” (CHF 55.00) sounded very promising and it started quite okay. The “starters’ plate from the Grisons” (usually CHF 21.00) consisted of “a mangold tart”, “breaded cheese”, “some salad”, “panna cotta” and “dried beef Grisons style with cheese and apple cubes”. I did like the dried beef Grisons style with […]
Where you still get real Swiss dishes: Restaurant Glenner (27. February 2016)
If you are looking for a typical specialty from the Grisons in Vals, then you should come to Glenner (as long as it is still opened). The “Valser Chrut – Capuns with broth” (CHF 24.00) is not the best capuns I have had so far but it was good, and very fair in price. The […]
Yummy Mexican dishes: Restaurant El Agave (26. February 2016)
You get good Mexican dishes at the El Agave – although the “guacamole with corn chips” (CHF 11.90) are maybe quite a European depiction of Mexican food. The guacamole is definitely delicious but the corn chips are rather … common. However, the “molcajete de res” (CHF 32.00) was – once more – delicious! Basically you […]
Simple business lunch: Restaurant Bederhof (26. February 2016)
The “perch fish strips with salad and sauce tartare” (CHF 29.50) make a perfect lunch – juicy and yummy fish, tasty salad, fine tartare sauce. And it is served within quite a short time after the order has been placed. The Restaurant Bederhof is simple in its design, like an old Swiss city restaurant, but […]
Spanish tapas place close to Zurich HB: Restaurant Mucho Gusto (25. February 2016)
Mucho Gusto indeed! I have passed the restaurant a couple of times but I never managed to stop – however, it is worth a stop. The interior is simple but comfortable and atmospheric. The waitresses are friendly and helpful and the dishes are absolutely good. The “pimientos de padrón” (CHF 8.50) and the “chorizo champignons” […]
Tasty pizza and friendly waiters: Restaurant Argentino (23. February 2016)
This time I was sitting inside due to the soccer match which was on (and outside there was no TV). I had some difficulties in choosing what I wanted to eat and ended up eating a pizza – again. However, I decided to go for a pizza with prosciutto crudo and was recommended the “Pizza […]
Not fulfilling my expectations: Restaurant Olimpia (22. February 2016)
Since I am in Lugano on a regular basis I was usually quite happy when I’ve left a restaurant after dinner. However, this time I was not entirely satisfied. When you enter the place which is located in the center of Lugano, you are brought to your table by a waiter which is friendly and […]
