Not as good as it is ranked in all the online ratings: Restaurant Aklin (1. May 2018)
The restaurant Aklin is apparently the most famous one in Zug as everybody seemed to know it when I talked about it. While it is good, I don’t entirely understand why it is soooo well-known. The “green curry soup with sweet potato chips” (CHF 14.50) was delicious. So, right there, I still understood why people […]
Truly amazing experience – local Swiss food on high level: Restaurant Schlüssel (28. April 2018)
Years ago, I have read quite a bit about the Restaurant Schlüssel and finally, it was time to pay Dani a visit. He is the chef and welcomes every single person personally making it through that already quite a unique experience. Once you’re seated in the garden, you get to help yourself with a variety […]
When the owner just can’t admit he made a mistake: Restaurant Gartenhof (27. April 2018)
The perfect description of that evening at the Restaurant Gartenhof is “When something great turns sour”. The evening started very nice with “bread and tajin spread” which tasted surprisingly good and close to hummus. I went for the “vegetarian tasting menu” (CHF 50.00) which started with “Burrata with tomatoes and salad” (usually CHF 13.00) which […]
Amazingly tasty Pho Bo soup: Restaurant Du Théâtre (26. April 2018)
I have been to the Du Théâtre about one year ago and what was true back then still holds true – they have a lovely lunch offering with dishes which are a bit ‘out of the ordinary’. The “lunch salad” is not along those lines but still very rich for a regular lunch salad. The […]
Large, hearty portions and friendly but forgetful service: Restaurant Hardhof (25. April 2018)
I like the ‘Hardhof’ because of its simplicity when it comes to the atmosphere, the service and the dishes. The “bread with spread” was lovely as a starting point to kill the immediate feeling of hunger The “blood sausage quiche with rhubarb chutney and fresh herb salad” (CHF 17.00) was interesting as it was a […]
Fair prices, lovely dishes and very trusting and friendly service: Restaurant Café Azizi (23. April 2018)
I was quite skeptical when entering the place as it does not look like a restaurant but more like a café which does not seem to offer proper lunch dishes – but they actually do. Together with a very reasonably priced menu (CHF 21.90), quite a substantial / large menu salad is served. As a […]
Decent dishes but absolutely unsatisfactory service: Restaurant Belvoirpark (21. April 2018)
I have heard quite a bit about the Restaurant Belvoirpark which is basically the place where young talented chefs become great chefs and apprentices become great waiters. However, after this experience I’m not so sure about the waiters anymore. I was there in the context of a Chaîne des Rôtisseurs event and quite curious to […]
Rich food but weak service: Restaurant Hato (18. April 2018)
Truly horrible service with decent dishes is the best way to summarize the experience at the Restaurant Hato. At first, upon arrival, things were still fine. I was brought to the table in a friendly manner and the waiter took my order to bring sparkling water to the table which appeared quite rapidly. The “Edamame […]
