Perfect for a Sunday brunch outside: Restaurant Die Rüsterei (27. May 2018)
I have been to Die Rüsterei a couple of times for lunch or dinner but never for brunch – and I wonder why as the selection of dishes is actually great and for a very reasonable price (CHF 55.00) you get to pick from a variety of warm dishes (egg dishes, white Bavarian sausage, bacon, […]
Completely overrated and frequented by the Swiss government: Restaurant Café Entrecôte Fédéral Bern (26. May 2018)
Apparently, the Café Entrecôte Fédéral is famous for our government to have lunch. However, I do not entirely understand why unless there is really no better option in the whole city of Bern. I mean, the “market salad with walnuts” which was served as a starter is generous and actually quite tasty. And admittedly, the […]
A pop-up restaurant by Bindella: Restaurant Mandarino (23. May 2018)
The Restaurant Mandarino is part of the Bindella group and is basically kind of a pop-up restaurant before the building is being torn down in about 6 months. The place is another restaurant re-used but they really managed to give the place a boost as the interior is simple, yet lovely. The restaurant is run […]
Good drinks bar in central Zurich: Tales Bar (19. May 2018)
The Tales Bar apparently exists for quite a while but so far it has never really been on my agenda as I’ve only been driving by so far. It is a rather tiny bar with approximately 8 tables which fits max 20 people. The place is a bit dark (as it is kind of dimmed […]
Nice atmosphere with decent drinks: George Bar & Grill (19. May 2018)
The George Bar & Grill has always been a place to enjoy a good drink in a nice atmosphere. When we walked in, it was still relatively empty and there were a couple of bar tables available. The waiter came up and asked what we wanted to drink. After dropping a few pointers what kind […]
Close to a real Italian experience in the middle of Zurich: Ristorante Aperitivo del Don Leone (19. May 2018)
The Don Leone itself was sold out for the evening so we were diverted to the Don Leone Aperitivo which is right across the street from the original. At first, I wasn’t entirely happy with it as I wanted to eat where I had originally planned to eat but then it turned out that the […]
Friendly and swift service for lunch – how it should be: Restaurant MASI Wine Bar (18. May 2018)
What I like a lot about the MASI Wine Bar is the speed of service while remaining friendly at all times. A big thumbs up for the staff. While you would think this is something you should just be able to expect, unfortunately, that is not the case in many restaurants in Zurich. In the […]
Delicious Robespierre for lunch: Restaurant du Théâtre (17. May 2018)
I love coming back to the Du Théâtre as they offer great lunch bargains and the dishes are delicious paired with good service. The menu soup, a “tomato soup with vegetables” was rich and full of flavour but admittedly not the best soup I’ve enjoyed in my life. The “Robespierre Café de Paris with French […]
