Quick business lunch with refreshing but a bit too pricey dishes: Restaurant Die Rüsterei (19. July 2017)
What I like quite a lot about Die Rüsterei is the fact that they get the concept of a ‘quick business lunch’. You’re seated within a few minutes, the order is taken up within another few minutes and last but not least, your dishes are served as quick. Just as it has to be. I […]
Amazing veal spare ribs for lunch: Restaurant Accademia del Gusto (17. July 2017)
The Restaurant Accademia del Gusto remains a good choice for lunch – today it was a “cold carrot soup” which was served as a starter and as simple as it sounds as sophisticated was the combination of flavours while being absolutely refreshing. The true highlight of the lunch though were the “grilled veal spare ribs […]
When suddenly dust is ‘raining’ from above onto your overpriced meal: Restaurant CLOUDS (16. July 2017)
A decent selection is what you get for brunch (CHF 65.00) at the Restaurant CLOUDS ranging from a nice variety of different breads … … fresh smoked salmon where you can help yourself and basically scratch the salmon off the fish … … rather Spanish breakfast elements like tortilla … … a variety of different […]
Hearty, tasty Ramen soup for lunch: Restaurant IKOO | 行こう | Japanese Noodle Soups (14. July 2017)
If you want to have lunch at the Restaurant IKOO, make sure you show up on time. They do not take reservations for lunch and there is in total not much more than maybe 20 spaces – so you better come early, or late. They offer a variety of Asian dishes and are specialized in […]
Not a place I’d ideally seek out for dinner: Restaurant Hide & Seek @ Atlantis by Giardino (13. July 2017)
Paying the Atlantis by Giardino a visit has been on my to do list for long – actually, I intended to visit the restaurant Ecco but ended up at their other restaurant Hide & Seek. We were seated at a nice table somewhere close to the windows and after we’ve had the chance to order […]
If you’re looking for a lunch bargain with sushi – this is the place: Restaurant Samurai II (13. July 2017)
It is about two years ago since I’ve last paid one of the Samurai restaurants a visit – but it was time again. Part of the lunch bento offers is a “miso soup” and while it was ‘just a miso soup’ it was definitely way better than many of those soups I’ve had in the […]
Deteriorating service throughout the evening: Restaurant Blaue Ente (11. July 2017)
After years of trying and often having to cancel last minute, I finally managed to visit the Blaue Ente. We were late – two hours to be precise – due to work so obviously, the crew wasn’t too happy about that. Understandably so. We were seated and attended quite swiftly. I ordered the “South African […]
When planning looks great but delivery is weak: Restaurant Helvetia (11. July 2017)
When you are seated and you get a menu which starts with “cherry yogurt cold soup” you’re definitely intrigued by what you will get as a starter. Or at least I was! The execution was rather weak though – the starter was way too sweet and didn’t really taste pleasant. And unfortunately, the same was […]
