When the online reservation system doesn’t work: Restaurant Brasserie Schiller (8. May 2017)
I had booked a table online – but unfortunately, that didn’t work. So when I walked in asking for my table, there wasn’t any. Not really the way you want your lunch to start. However, a table was found soon and I went for the ‘lunch menu’ (CHF 37.00) which started with a “prawn cocktail”. […]
An absolutely amazing view onto the Sechseläutenplatz: Restaurant Belcanto (5. May 2017)
7 years ago I had booked a table at the Belcanto but was unfortunately not able to attend the event. And ever since I haven’t considered the place as a location for lunch – but I figured, I should have. Luckily, it was one of the few sunny days this month and we got to […]
Very spacious wine restaurant with decent food: Restaurant 1733 (2. May 2017)
When I walked by the 1733 the first time, I was immediately intrigued by the fact that there was a wine restaurant in St. Gallen I didn’t know so it was finally time after three months to give it a try. I booked a table in advance but frankly, that isn’t necessary as the restaurant […]
In memoriam Angelo Ferlin – a memorable experience: Restaurant Casa Ferlin (1. May 2017)
The Casa Ferlin is one of these places in Zurich which you do not randomly walk into as it is not located centrally – but you definitely should walk in there as the place is very traditional and absolutely lovely. This lunch was held in the memory of Angelo Ferlin – and started with a […]
Quite decent pizza offering in the middle of Zofingen: Restaurant La Lupa (29. April 2017)
We had originally only booked for four people but ended up being six people in the end – and they were flexible enough to ‘re-seat’ us to another table when the additional two showed up. I started with “Tortellini in Brodo (meat broth with tortellini)” (CHF 10.50) which arrived rather quickly at the table but […]
Always a safe bet for a decent meal in Zofingen: Restaurant Hotel Zofingen (28. & 29. April 2017)
The restaurant in the Hotel Zofingen looks the same since I can recall it the first time I walked in 14 years ago. We decided to go for the “three course menu” (CHF 48.00) where you basically get to pick a starter, a main and a dessert. As a starter I went for the “black […]
Great in summer, average throughout the year: Restaurant Molino Frascati (28. April 2017)
It is almost three years ago since I’ve last been at the Restaurant Molino Frascati (read review here!). So it was more than time to pay the restaurant a visit again. Originally, I had booked a table for two but we ended up being three people and luckily, it wasn’t a problem for the restaurant […]
The waitress really makes a difference: Restaurant Brasserie Freilager (28. April 2017)
Admittedly, part of the reason why I keep returning to the Restaurant Brasserie Freilager is that there is a certain convenience to the fact that I live only 45 meters away from it. However, I would definitely not return if it wasn’t good. Today I went for the “daily soup” (CHF 12.00) which was decent […]
