Patience needed to deal with the limited efficiency: Restaurant Bären (16. April 2018)
Upon arrival I was already wondering a bit what to expect of the place and sometimes first impressions really give away quite a bit.When you’re welcomed, everything is kind of inefficient – starting with the seating process, bringing the menu, taking up the order and then finally bringing the drinks. The “Pizza Napoli (tomatoes, olives, […]
Tibetan ‘momo’ dumplings in a tiny, crowded place: Restaurant Tenz Momo (15. April 2018)
The Restaurant Tenz Momo offers exactly one type of dish (and some salads) which are ‘momo’. You wonder what ‘momo’ are? Momo are Tibetan dumplings. Not sure how exactly they are different from other dumplings as in terms of consistency they are rather similar to ‘regular Asian’ dumplings. I went for the “vegan version (dried […]
Mouth-watering flavour combinations with a technical service fail: Restaurant Dae Mon (14. April 2018)
It took me a little while until I realized that the name of the restaurant Dae Mon was ‘daemon’ in English. Well, lack of sleep doesn’t help in connecting the dots. I went for the “Vegetarian 4-course tasting menu” (EUR 51.00) which is worth every penny. The amuse bouche started with a chip which was […]

Berlin and friendly service are definitely antonyms: Restaurant Brasserie Ganymed (13. April 2018)
Sometimes I really wonder if restaurants just don’t want to make any business. I mean, being a waiter is for sure not always a great job, and being bossed around by customers can definitely become annoying at some point in time. However, frankly speaking, if you are uncomfortable with this, maybe care to do another […]
Lovely ravioli with a butter sage sauce: Restaurant MASI Wine Bar (12. April 2018)
The Restaurant MASI Wine bar remains a favorite of mine for a quick and good lunch. The place is always crowded so it makes sense to book your table in advance. The service is jovial yet friendly and professional. The lunch offering is usually very reasonable in price but today I went for the “Mozzarella […]
Great for the view, not so much for vegetarian dishes: Restaurant Haute (10. April 2018)
It is that time of the year again where you get to enjoy sitting outside on the terrace in the Haute – it is slowly getting warmer and you get to enjoy the view all over the city of Zurich. The two course menu (CHF 36.00) in its vegetarian option is actually quite decent but […]
The place where you eat charcoal cheese and stone ice cream: Restaurant Rössli (6. April 2018)
Stefan Wiesner is also called ‘the witcher’ and after having had the pleasure to taste his “Tasting Menu Soil (vegetarian)” (CHF 195.00) which costs the same as the meat version. The place is super simple, so no need to dress up. Come here the way you feel comfortable. Stefan is passionate about his food and […]
