A hidden gem serving great menus: Restaurant MUN (30. September 2016)
The Restaurant Mun is not really located in an area you would just randomly walk by – which is a pity as the restaurant is actually great and the dishes are luscious. They offer basically two different types of menu combination, a 4-course menu and a 6-course menu, and as a “seafood version” and as […]
Lovely beef tartar for lunch: Restaurant Bärengasse (27. September 2016)
It is quite some time ago since I have been at one of Dieter Meier’s restaurants and the last time, the Ojo de Agua in Frankfurt, it was absolutely delicious. It was about time to try another restaurant of his – or rather re-try as I have had lunch here before – and the “beef […]
True Bavarian breakfast: Restaurant Augustiner Bräustuben (25. September 2016)
After a heavy day at Oktoberfest, a breakfast at the Restaurant Augustiner Bräustuben is just perfect. I went for the “Augustiner beer coachman pan with chicken, pork joint, roast, pork sausage, wiener sausage, potato gnocchi, bacon and kraut salad, dark beer sauce” (EUR 14.80). And while it is definitely a heavy breakfast it perfectly helps […]
Decent tartar for lunch: Restaurant Loft Five (22. September 2016)
The “Mediterranean Loft Five Style tartar with roasted nuts, Parmesan, olives, raw spinach, and slow cooked bio egg” (CHF 35.00) sounded really promising. However, when the dish was actually brought to my table, I figured that somehow something is missing a bit. There was no sign of spinach or egg which was a bit surprising. […]
Great location with a perfect after dinner view: Schloss Laufen am Rheinfall (20. September 2016)
Sometimes you have a random idea and end up having dinner close to the Rheinfalls. Well, it was a good idea in any case. The Schloss Laufen is not exactly centrally located, and, unfortunately, you do not have view onto the Rheinfalls from the restaurant but you get to see it after dinner if you […]
Great different foods: Street Food Festival No. 6 (14. September 2016)
Lately, there is quite a lot ongoing in Zurich with regards to food fairs and food festivals. Definitely a positive development of the city – and on the right path towards a more international mindset. This was not only proven by the fact that there are more such festivals taking place in the city but […]
Tasty dishes on tiny tables: Restaurant Yamas (12. September 2016)
I love returning to the Yamas – but I figured that I will never dine again on the bar tables outside. Absolutely not enough space there to properly eat more than one dish. I started with the “Dakos (Cretan cuisine) with tomatoes, feta, onions, with olive oil on dried bread” (CHF 12.00). While the Dakos […]
“Taste of Lebanon” – with an overly fancy dessert: Restaurant Saltz (11. September 2016)
The “falafel balls on chicorée marinated with a pickled cucumber” was a nice start of the “Taste of Lebanon” (menu, CHF 90.00). Not sure how Lebanese the dish actually is respectively to what degree it is a Swiss adaption. However, the start was fine … … and was served with a glass of Swiss champagne, […]
