Great pulled-pork burger with not the real parmesan truffle fries: Brasserie Freilager (6. March 2017)
I must say, generally, the Restaurant Brasserie Freilager is a safe bet. However, the quality varies a bit – especially with regards to the service. The last time, I paid the restaurant a visit (read the review), the service was absolutely outstanding. This time, it wasn’t perfect. I went for the “spinach ri otta ravioli […]
Good but definitely overpriced: Restaurant Conti (6. March 2017)
Bindella’s restaurants are not exactly known for being cheap – and fair enough, one is old enough to figure before going there what the prices are. However, I personally consider the prices too high for what you get. But first things first – when you arrive and have booked in advance, you are attended to […]
Outstanding Vietnamese dishes in cozy atmosphere: Restaurant Co Chin Chin (5. March 2017)
When you enter the Co Chin Chin, you are welcomed by a diffuse light and you wonder if the location used to be a fire station as it is somewhat spacious and welcoming. The atmosphere is lovely and I get why people want to pay the Co Chin Chin a visit – however, make sure […]
Delicious dishes with caring service in a lovely atmosphere: Restaurant Krone (3. March 2017)
The Restaurant Krone is run by Arbeitskette which is focusing on integrating people with physical and/or mental issues which I think is a lovely concept. The design of the restaurant is simple yet lovely – and if you get to have the table in front of the chimney, you will definitely enjoy the evening. I […]
You think it’s a tourist trap but it’s actually a decent lunch spot: Restaurant Zeughauskeller (3. March 2017)
It is quite long ago since I’ve been to the Zeughauskeller – as I have somehow memorized it as a “tourist trap”. However, turns out, it is actually quite well visited by locals for lunch. I went for the “tomato soup” (CHF 8.50) as a starter which is a decent start for lunch – however, […]
Great location to dine with 120 people: Restaurant Zunfthaus zur Waag (2. March 2017)
When I was at the Zunfthaus zur Waag this time, I was here in the framework of an alumni event so we were a group of approximately 120 people. On the top floor, there is an old traditional hall which was set up for us. The evening started with a “Riesling foam soup” which was […]
Perfect gnocchi in an authentic Italian restaurant: Restaurant Facincani (2. March 2017)
I walked by recently the Restaurant Facincani and when it was recommended to me by a colleague it was definitely time to visit. The place is rather simple in its design but generally lovely as it reminds you of a small Italian place – but a bit more spacious like you’re used to it in […]
Quite tasty Thai dishes for lunch: Restaurant Mishio (1. March 2017)
I was at Mishio a bit more than a year ago and back then I was not so persuaded about the experience. However, this time I went for the “Panaeng Curry with beef” (CHF 25.90) which was quite good – the sauce was rich and intense, the ingredients fresh – only the beef was a […]
