The perfect place for an extended lunch: Restaurant Fischer’s Fritz (29. July 2016)
The Fischer’s Fritz is a place you definitely have to visit in summer – the tables on the balcony are absolutely great as they offer you privacy while you have an amazing view over Lake Zurich. We decided to have the “Coco’s vegetable basket for two people with anchovy mayonnaise” (CHF 28.50). When it was […]
When Graubünden meets Zurich: Gian & Nico’s Jdaburg (28. July 2016)
The last time I have been to Jdaburg it had other owners (see review). Gian and Nico are the new owners and they do a great job. When you sit outside the atmosphere is lovely and – despite waiting for a bit too long to place the order for my personal gusto – the beverages […]
A different type of Italian: Restaurant Più (27. July 2016)
I walked by the Restaurant Più many times and it was always packed. I suppose, mainly because it is nice to sit outside in summer. However, given the hot weather and me wearing a suit, I decided to take a table inside. And while at first the place looked a bit dull, I actually realized […]
When the burger tastes great but the patty is too dry: Restaurant Jack & Jo (26. July 2016)
A good burger is what you get at Jack & Jo! That’s what I’ve heard a couple of times before actually paying the restaurant a visit. And it turns out that that statement can be confirmed now! I went for the “Jack’s Nr. 2, bacon cheese burger regular, regular portion fries, lemon lemonade” (CHF 32.80) […]
Very loud but decent clubbing with shisha: Buddha Bar (23. July 2016)
The Buddha Bar is one of the places to be in Kiev – apparently. And they have a strong door policy – not everybody gets in, especially if you haven’t dressed up. At least that is what you would think when you stand in front of the door. However, once you are in, you figure […]
Great local experience with a soup popsicle: Restaurant Spotykach (23. July 2016)
If you want to experience the full spectrum of the Ukrainian cuisine, you should definitely pay the Restaurant Spotykach a visit. It is not only centrally located, it is also offering a wide variety of dishes for incredible prices. We started with the “Vinegret Lego (boiled potato, carrot, beet, pickled cucumber, beans, pickled onion, sour […]
Great spot by the river: Компот Подол (23. July 2016)
Right next to the Dnjepr river in Kiev, the Restaurant Kompot is located – a nice little restaurant with a great view onto the river and the city’s river beach. And while it is absolutely great to sit out there and enjoy the sun, you will also have more than enough time to do this. […]
French breakfast in Kiev: Restaurant Très Français (23. July 2016)
Admittedly, I did not expect to find a good French breakfast in the Ukraine but actually, the Restaurant Très Français offers exactly that. Located close to the Maidan, you get to sit outside in a small side street enjoying the sun and having a “French breakfast” (87 UAH; ~3.10 EUR). Somehow, the Ukrainians like pancakes […]
