Exceptional lunch bargain for Zurich – cheap but great: Restaurant Riviera con Cucina (29. March 2017)
When I first visited the Riviera Enoteca con Cucina I was already very positively surprised of the offer, respectively of the lunch bargain. Now, after this visit, I am even more so – the dishes are great and the price is – for Zurich standards – absolutely ridiculous! The menu (CHF 16.00) started with a […]
Superb lunch deal in a spacious yet cozy atmosphere: Restaurant Lagerhaus (28. March 2017)
When you enter the Restaurant Lagerhaus you feel like entering a former storage building – and obviously, the name in German means exactly that, ‘storage building’. Therefore, the place is rather spacious and you definitely have enough space between the single tables so you have your share of privacy. I started with a “rocket salad […]
Perfect risotto and great lunch bargain: Restaurant MASI Wine Bar (27. March 2017)
The “Crema di Cavolfiore (cream of cauliflower soup)” comes with the menu – and it was quite a fine start into lunch, however, the taste of cauliflower was almost too decent for my personal gusto. You could barely taste the flavour of the cauliflower and the soup was a bit too thin. The main course, […]
Perfect spot to relax before visiting the Institut Lumière: Le Bistro Autrement (26. March 2017)
If you are into movies and film history, I can definitely recommend you to visit the ‘Institut Lumière’ but as we are still in France, the opening hours are more of a recommendation than actual opening hours, so I ended up looking for a café to wait until the place actually opens and found ‘Le […]
Outstanding atmosphere and a few taste surprises: Restaurant Les Loges (25. March 2017)
If you want to dine in a Michelin starred restaurant in Lyon, you have to book a couple of weeks in advance. For most of the options, I didn’t stand a chance of getting a table. Luckily, I managed to get one at the Restaurant Les Loges. And it started quite exquisite after the bar […]
Lovely atmosphere but weak service: Bar @ Cour des Loges (25. March 2017)
Given the ‘Restaurant Les Loges’ only opens at 7:30pm sharp and we were a couple of minutes early, I ended up in the Bar at the Hotel Cour des Loges. As I am a huge ‘Mule’ fan, I went for the “London Mule (Gin Bombay Sapphire, Lemon, Ginger Beer)” (EUR 14.00). The drink is simple […]
Perfect to hide from rain but not recommended: Café Bar de la Ficelle (25. March 2017)
When it started raining we entered the first café there was and ended up at the Café Bar de la Ficelle – well, I guess else we wouldn’t have entered but given the rain, it seemed like the right option. The place was crammed and for more than 10 minutes we were not attended. After […]
Exquisite service and delicious snails and oysters: Chez Antonin @ Les Halles De Lyon (Paul Bocuse) (25. March 2017)
We walked up and down the isles of Les Halles a couple of times until we could decide where to have our lunch stop. And we went for Chez Antonin – a place specialized in French specialties like oysters and we went for “Spéciales le Gall (Bretagne), No. 2 – a Dozen” (EUR 29.00). I […]
