A unique experience with natural local flavours: Restaurant OLO (29. July 2017)
What you experience at the OLO is “The Journey” which is basically what you get there – one menu (EUR 109.00) only and there is no other selection. You are allowed to note what you are allergic to and could potentially vote out a couple of courses but the concept really is “one menu for […]
Absolutely delicious dishes and caring service: Restaurant Didi’s Frieden (26. July 2017)
It is a couple of years ago since I’ve last dined at the Restaurant Didi’s Frieden but I have had good memories. So it was time to give it another try. Given we increased the booking by one person only shortly before the reservation, they were not really able to increase the booking as the […]
Great service and very good dishes: Restaurant MASI Wine Bar (25. July 2017)
In the past, I’ve mostly paid the MASI Wine Bar a visit for lunch. Today, it was time to do so in the evening and I went for a “beef tartare – classically prepared” (CHF 45.00). Frankly, for its size and its taste I consider it overpriced. The tartare wasn’t bad at all but it […]
Cheap lunch offering – decent but nothing extraordinary: Restaurant Farnsburg (25. July 2017)
Whenever I’m eating in another city than Zurich in Switzerland I realize how expensive things are. For only CHF 25.50, you get quite a bargain for lunch starting with a salad which is rather standard though to be honest. The “grilled beef entrecôte served with a Sauce Hollandaise with French fries and vegetables” is better […]
Good and always changing dishes but weak service: Restaurant Brasserie Freilager (24. July 2017)
Luckily, the Restaurant Brasserie Freilager changes its menu from time to time. I went for the “grilled Secreto Iberico (hidden filet from the Iberico pork) served with Mediterranean stove vegetables with potatoes” (CHF 42.00). While the meat is aromatic, the consistency is something you have to get used to a bit. It is definitely tasty […]
Fair lunch offering with a cold carrot soup: Restaurant Latino (24. July 2017)
The lunch menu (CHF 24.00) is quite decent – you get to chose from either a salad or a soup and I went for the “cold carrot soup” as a starter which was quite a portion and tasted actually way better than I had expected (given it was cold, it was surprisingly refreshing). As a […]
Delicious matjes with beetroot: Eat As Matjes As You Can @ Gladmat (21. July 2017)
While the name of the food stall is a bit funny, saying “Eat As Matjes As You Can”, the “matjes” (30 NOK) they are selling there are actually delicious. Of course, the fish itself is as good as any but the combination with the beet root and the whipped cream really makes it quite exceptional […]
Pølse are completely overestimated: Pølsebussen @ Gladmat (21. July 2017)
Somehow “Pølse” (30 NOK) is apparently quite famous in Norway – Pølse is a sausage with mustard and ketchup. Or, kind of like an American hot dog just with less stuff on it. And to be entirely honest, it wasn’t that great. I mean, sure, it was a ‘hot dog like thing’ but it was […]
