Great service and lovely view onto the Acropolis: Restaurant GB Roof Garden @ Hotel Grand Bretagne (30. March 2018)
Last time I was at the GB Roof Garden, I enjoyed a lovely evening with a marvelous view over the Acropolis. For lunch, the view is not as breath-taking but definitely still worth going. And not only because of the food but also because of the quality of the service and the quality of the […]
Continuous good quality in terms of service and food: Restaurant Brasserie Freilager (28. March 2018)
Given, I’ve just had a gout attack, I decided to go for something reasonable in terms of intake of urate, so the “Freilager salad (leaf salads with edamame, cucumbers, pomegranate seeds, served with a coriander dressing)” (CHF 16.00) was delicious. Simple yet aromatic and rich. The “tagliolini buffala (served with a cherry tomato sauce, rocket […]
Swift service and fair lunch offering in terms of price: Restaurant MASI Wine Bar (27. March 2018)
The MASI Wine Bar is one of these places in Zurich where you get a good meal for lunch for a relatively decent price. The menu today consisted of a “vegetable soup” which was okay as it wasn’t too watery but nothing spectacular in terms of taste. The main course on the other hand, the […]
Amazing Chef’s Table @ Marco Pfleiderer Catering (26. March 2018)
When you are asked to show up in a specific location without actually having a clue why you are going there, respectively what to expect, it always leaves you anxious about what is going to happen. But this was one of the pleasant surprises and the anxiety vanished it started crystallizing what the evening would […]
Great lunch offering for a swift lunch: Restaurant Mum’s Kitchen Vietnamese Food (26. March 2018)
Sometimes it is good if you rely on someone else conducting research where to go for lunch as you probably would never have walked into the restaurant by passing by. The Mum’s Kitchen Vietnamese Food is one of these candidates. The lunch offering was simple yet delicious. I went for the “red curry with duck” […]
Not very atmospheric but caring service: Restaurant Pizzeria Schweizerhof (22. March 2018)
When you don’t book a table in advance you end up roaming through the city to find a place which offers food for lunch. We finally ended up in the Pizzeria Schweizerhof which seems to be a place for students but were lucky enough to find a table. The “tomato cream soup” (CHF 6.80) was […]
Great salad, average burger for lunch: Restaurant L’Esquina (21. March 2018)
After entering, I was a bit skeptical to what degree this was going to be good. But after the “menu salad” (CHF 5.50) was served, I was positively surprised. Given it was not only leaf salad but had cucumbers and tomatoes in it making it quite a tasty start for a very fair price. The […]
Decent dishes with super friendly service: Restaurant Lily’s Factory (19. March 2018)
After my last edamame in Zurich in another Asian restaurant, I was a bit skeptical of the quality but the “edamame (green steamed soy beans with salt flakes)” (CHF 8.50) were actually good and I especially liked the large salt flakes on top of it. The “dumplings combo (mandu with leek and soy hack, mandu […]
