Great breakfast for a Swiss hotel: Restaurant Belvédère @ Steigenberger Grandhotel Belvédère Davos (12. March 2017)
I am quite used to a rip-off for breakfast when staying in a Swiss hotel – but this time, I was really positively surprised as the breakfast accounts for only CHF 27.00. Way less than I had expected and the selection of dishes is actually quite good starting with a variety of different fruit and […]
Smooth cheese fondue with standard chili flakes: Fonduestube Romeo & Julia @ Steigenberger Grandhotel Belvédère Davos (11. March 2017)
The Fonduestube Romeo & Julia is famous for its variety of fondues – kinda makes sense, given the name. As a starter, you get dried ham with two spreads and some bread. Generally, that is a nice starter which I personally also liked but given one of our party was vegetarian – and no alternative […]
I can recommend you … not to go: Restaurant & Bar Alte Post (10. March 2017)
Frankly, the Alte Post isn’t a place I would usually attend but given we were there in the context of a larger group, I guess it’s fine. As a ‘starter’, if you want, a salad bowl, respectively several, were brought to the table – to help yourself. I mean, I like the idea that you […]
Still an absolutely exquisite experience: Restaurant Maison Manesse (9. March 2017)
It is a bit more than a year ago since I’ve paid the Maison Manesse a visit – and not much has changed since. The “Tasting Menu, 6 Courses” (CHF 155.00) still starts with a “sezchuan flower head” to trigger your palate – definitely an interesting experience as your mouth goes through a variety of […]
When the restaurant is half-empty at lunch on a Friday: Restaurant LUV Drink & Dine (10. March 2017)
As I didn’t find the lunch menu too appealing I decided to go for something else and took a soup from the regular menu – starting with a “lime coconut soup, grilled scallop” (CHF 14.00). It sounded great and it was just okay. The soup has an intense lime taste but it is too light […]
Yet another good evening at the Restaurant Brasserie Freilager (8. March 2017)
Out of convenience, I ended up at the Restaurant Brasserie Freilager again (given I live really close) and as always, the evening started with “cold cuts from the Grisons” which is a lovely start and I like that the meat is not as dry as it often is. As a starter, I went for the […]
Overrated – definitely a slight disappointment: Restaurant Acquarello (8. March 2017)
The Acquarello used to be the Restaurant David 38 back when I was studying in St. Gallen – which is quite some years ago. But according to online reviews it is still a very good address so I was obviously quite curious what was expecting me. I went for one of the 9 lunch menu […]
Traditional Italian cucina with jovial waiter: Restaurant L’Osteria Mamma Leone (7. March 2017)
I was poking around on Google Maps to find a restaurant I haven’t visited yet and which was close to my meeting location and I randomly got across the L’Osteria Mamma Leone – and it was a good choice. I get why the restaurant is ranked rather good (with 4.6) on Google. Part of the […]
