Outstanding lake view: Restaurant Mönchhof am See (13. August 2016)
It is around 6 years ago since I have last paid a visit to the Mönchhof am See – and while my memories of that visit were not really outstanding, this time it was actually a lovely visit. I started with a “cucumber salad ‘Bombay’ with curry sauce” (CHF 9.20) which I expected to be […]
Good lunch also for larger groups: Restaurant Latino (12. August 2016)
You get a good lunch selection at the Restaurant Latino and it also works quite well for larger groups. This day it was a “cold cucumber soup” as a starter (usually CHF 10.80) which was quite a generous portion for a starter. The main course of the menu (CHF 34.00 in total) was a fried […]
Very tasty Greek dishes: Restaurant Yamas (11. August 2016)
The Yamas is a place I like more and more – because every time I return I feel a bit more like “coming home”. Not that I am of Greek origin or anything but given I have been there a couple of times, I am welcomed friendlier every time. And that is not the only […]
Not satisfactory service but good tartare: Restaurant D-Vino (9. August 2016)
Admittedly, I was not aware of the concept in the D-Vino that you have to fetch your dishes and drinks from the counter. But the “service” or rather the “lack of service” was exceptional! So, we were arriving on a Tuesday night and the place was absolutely crowded. Upon arrival we were asked to go […]
Great sashimi with an even better lake view: Restaurant Seerose (7. August 2016)
At first I was a bit surprised about the size of the portion for CHF 38.00 – but once I tried the “sashimi of smoked salmon d’extrême qualité with a Granny Smith-avocado tatar and soy sauce”, I understood. The salmon sashimi really is outstanding in its fine texture and smooth taste. The Granny Smith avocado […]
Healthy dishes with friendly service: Restaurant Juice Market (6. August 2016)
The Juice Market is a place to go if you are into various drinks prepared with fresh vegetables and fruit. I decided to have a “blueberry lassi” (0,3L, CHF 10.50) which was great in taste but rather expensive for 0,3l. For lunch I decided to have a “Moroccan Salad (pepperoni, cucumbers, onions, olives)” (CHF 22.50) […]
Quick and lovely lunch: Restaurant Loft Five (2. August 2016)
The “15 minutes business lunch” was great again. The “cauliflower vanilla soup” served with a “small salad” and “Gnocchi with gorgonzola sauce and leaf spinach” for just CHF 29.00 is really a bargain. The soup was interesting due to the vanilla and the portion of gnocchi was actually quite large and in combination with the […]
Great Oriental brunch in a city garden: Restaurant Maison Blunt (1. August 2016)
According to Google, Maison Blunt offers the best brunch in Zurich. Ready to believe but only once personally persuaded, it was finally time to have brunch here. The “Blunts home breakfast – oriental style” with “croissants, home-made bread, jam, butter, hummus, feta purree, cucumber mint salad, pickled spicy carrots, yogurt with fresh fruit, dried fruit, […]
