Quite interesting pizza toppings: Restaurant Stripped (7. February 2017)
I have been recommended the ‘Stripped’ a couple of times by now for its creativity and the rather unusual pizzas. And to be honest, the pizzas are quite unusual! They had a monthly special on the menu called “Pizza Capuns dalla Tatta (whole grain dough, tomato sauce, mountain cheese, Parma ham, smoked bacon, spicy salami, […]
The ‘not so special’ specialty of the house: Restaurant Amalfi (6. February 2017)
Somehow it seems that they keep the “soup of the day” for longer than a day but rather for a week or two. When I was at the Amalfi a couple of days ago, they also had the “carrot cream soup” as a starter which was a bit surprising. However, the soup is still decent […]
Weak starter but strong main – not on the ‘pretty’ side though: Restaurant Corner (4. February 2017)
As mentioned earlier, there is not too much in Lenzerheide, given it is a rather small town so we ended up going to the Kurhaus again – but a different restaurant this time. The Corner offers quite refined cuisine. I had a “saffron and fennel soup, prawn” (CHF 15.00) as a starter but I was […]
Great for local food from the Grisons: Restaurant Ustria (4. Feburary 2017)
Besides the Kurhaus there is not so much in Lenzerheide but there is the Ustria and it is definitely worth visiting. The place is rather simple, looks more like a typical town restaurant, and it probably is. But they manage to make part of it quite appealing. The owners – apparently – used to have […]
Great mix of local and Spanish tapas: Tapas Lounge @ Hotel Kurhaus (3. February 2017)
After an incredible ride on a Friday evening from Zurich to Lenzerheide – traffic jam wherever you go – I finally arrived at the Tapas Lounge in the Kurhaus. And while almost starving to death, the first little tapa was already served – “tortilla with spinach, mushrooms and alioli sauce” (CHF 12.00) and while I […]
The best tomatoes I ever had in winter: Ristorante d’Aurora – Onkel Tom’s Hütte (3. February 2017)
More than a decade ago, I used to go quite regularly to “Onkel Tom’s Hütte” but somehow forgot about it. Recently, we spoke about the place and thought it had shut down but it turns out, the restaurant is still open. Just under a slightly different name. The place is simple, rustically furnished but it […]
Presto – get inspired on what and where to eat in Zurich
Do you know this moment when you are hungry? Like, really hungry? And you are looking for a restaurant somewhere close by but still you don’t have the time to check out all the menus of the restaurants in your vicinity? You do? Then there is the perfect solution for you – Presto! The app […]
Finally, a great meat restaurant in Zurich: Restaurant ENI’T (2. Feburary 2017)
The ENI’T is an absolute finding! I have been recommended this restaurant twice already and finally managed to pay a visit. It is relatively tricky to find the entrance to the restaurant as you only – and even then still barely – see the logo of the restaurant if you stand right in front of […]
