Surprisingly great location and dishes: Restaurant Gasthaus zum Rathaus (24. August 2017)
In terms of location, the Restaurant Gasthaus zum Rathaus is not really a place I intended to go but circumstances led to me visiting it. And now I would probably go again. It is not really close to Zurich but it is located beautifully next to Lake Zurich and in summer when it is still […]
The slowest service ever – an absolute no go: Restaurant Schiller (24. August 2017)
If you want to know about a place you should absolutely never go for lunch – this is it: Restaurant Schiller! At first, everything was fine. We had booked a table, were seated and got served some “bread and butter”. The bread was fine, the butter too. Given it was lunch time and we didn’t […]
Great lunch pizza offering: Restaurant La Bocca City (23. August 2017)
I must admit I was quite surprised that you had to book a table in advance, especially given that the place itself is not so fancy. However, I do admit that the pizza I’ve had for lunch was absolutely good. The “pizza Calabrese with tomatoes, mozzarella, spicy Calabrese salami, olives and oregano” (CHF 19.50) and […]
Decent lunch offering in central Zurich: Restaurant Du Théâtre (22. August 2017)
I can’t recall when I’ve been to the Du Théâtre the last time but I do have a positive connotation with the place. Today it was time for a regular lunch menu (CHF 24.00) which was the “daily soup” which was kind of an Asian soup (not sure how it was called) which was intense […]
Definitely a place you have to try when in Berlin: Berlin Beef Balls @ Markthalle Neun (20. August 2017)
While I have been to Berlin quite a couple of times, I’ve actually never heard about Markthalle Neun – and it is definitely a place you should know about. They are basically a food market hall serving different kinds of food – always a new theme – while having a kind of standardized range of […]
Lovely wedding dinner: Restaurant La Banca @ Hotel de Rome (19. August 2017)
The ball room of the Hotel de Rome is spacious and has incredibly high ceilings – which makes it quite amazing as a dinner location. The menu was served in the context of a wedding and started with “gazpacho. baked prawn. basil tomato mayonnaise”. The soup was refreshing but a bit thicker than how I […]
Amazing view all over Berlin: The Rooftop Terrace @ Hotel de Rome (19. August 2017)
The rooftop terrace of the Hotel de Rome is quite a gem. From the top of the terrace you have a marvelous view all over the city of Berlin – not really from above but on eye level. It is designed like a lounge area with these special chairs you can find in every lounge […]
Great for afternoon drinking: Newton Bar (19. August 2017)
Sometimes, there are things you just shouldn’t have done. After the wedding ceremony of a dear friend a short break before dinner was planned in so we decided to have some “Moscow Mule” (EUR 11.00) in the vicinity and we ended up at the Newton bar. The Moscow Mules were served quickly and drunken as […]
