Quite good breakfast: Cappomio (16. April 2016)
It was actually way more difficult to find a place to have breakfast in Salzburg at 8:30am than originally expected. Not only because there are not that many places open on a Saturday morning where you can have breakfast, but in addition to that, once we found the Cappomio, we realized that almost the whole […]
Spanish food German style: Restaurant Buena Vista (15. April 2016)
When you are told that there is a restaurant in a German city which serves good Spanish food – well, you are obviously skeptical. And so far I was usually right, but I must admit that the dishes which are served at the Buena Vista are absolutely okay. I started with “alioli con pan casero” […]
Not ideal for large groups: Restaurant Chicago Meatpackers (14. April 2016)
A couple of months ago I have already been at the Meatpackers restaurant and I liked the burger quite a lot. However, the place is good if there are no large groups. This evening we were a group of approximately 35 people – and that is too much for the waiters, respectively the kitchen. Even […]
Large selection of beers but slow service: Erzbierschof (13. April 2016)
Patience! Patience! Patience! That is what you need when you want to have a beer at the Erzbierschof. The place is simple and offers a nice selection of approximately 20 different tap beers. However, you have to be extremely patient if you want to get a beer. The thing is, there is one waitress which […]
Great BBQ in traditional atmosphere: Restaurant Grotto del Pep (12. April 2016)
The Grotto del Pep is definitely not centrally located and it is actually quite tricky to get there from the city of Lugano, however, if you are willing to take a cab or go by car, it is worth going there (good luck with public transportation). What you get here is a simple but authentic […]
Hearty Swiss food – with supplement: Restaurant Au Gratin (11. April 2016)
As a small greeting from the kitchen you get an “asparagus soup” which is lovely – especially if the weather is bad as it was that day – as you get something which activates your palate and warms your body. The “Au Gratin” – as the name already makes you assume – is specialized in […]
A Greek wine bar? A Greek wine bar!!! Yamas (7. April 2016)
Wandering through the streets to find a decent place to eat – and you see a wine bar! Obviously, one would enter and inquire for a space at the bar. And we were lucky, as there were two seats free. Only when I had a look at the menu, which is rather small, I realized […]
Good food in a nice atmosphere: Restaurant Loft Five (5. April 2016)
I have been to the Loft Five a couple of times and I still like the place as it provides a steady flow of good dishes in a nice atmosphere. Also this time. I went for the “bio egg with oriental espresso cream and fresh spinach” (CHF 16.00) and while it did not look that […]
