Exquisite service in a lovely atmosphere: Restaurant Trattoria @ Nira Alpina, Silvaplana, a Member of Design Hotels™ (14. July 2018)
I haven’t visited many Design Hotels™ so far but this weekend it was time to spend a day in the mountains and enjoy the view and the good food. While there is – supposedly – an outstanding restaurant on the top floor of the hotel, it was closed that day as there was a wedding […]
Service fails but amazing view: Restaurant Gempenturm (12. July 2018)
The “melon soup” was absolutely refreshing and just the perfect beginning for lunch with a view onto the wider region of Basel. I went for the “pork Cordon Bleu with french fries and farm vegetables” (CHF 34.00) was decent. Frankly, it was probably one of the highest / thickest cordon bleus I’ve tried in my […]
Amazing atmosphere and great service – worth visiting: Sun Terrace @ Hotel Villa Honegg (8. July 2018)
I have heard a lot about the Villa Honegg but never actually made it there but after a short hike around the Bürgenstock, we ended up at Villa Honegg on their sun terrace. On the one hand side, you have a marvelous view onto Lake Lucerne, on the other hand side, the terrace is setup […]
Amazing lunch bargain and super delicious food: Restaurant Saku (5. July 2018)
It is quite some time ago since I’ve had lunch at the Restaurant Saku and I figured, I should go more often. They have an amazing lunch bargain where you get a Ramen, a starter, and one beverage for only CHF 28.00. Where in Zurich do you get all this for CHF 28.00 only? I […]
Lovely fresh food in a nice garden like area in the middle of busy streets: Restaurant Bederhof (4. July 2018)
The Bederhof is a lovely restaurant with a little garden which is perfect to sit outside – once you’ve found the entrance to it all. The service was swift and came to the table right away. I went for the daily special, a “gazpacho” which was perfectly refreshing. The “fresh artichoke with vinaigrette” which I […]
Delicious pizza but overpriced salad: Restaurant Pizzeria Ristorante Molino Stauffacher (4. July 2018)
The “Insalata Mista” (CHF 10.50) is rather simple and basically consists of leaf salad and some carrots and half a cherry tomato, so with CHF 10.50, it is at the upper limit of what is acceptable for a starter salad. The “Pizza Burrata (tomatoes, mozzarella di buffala, San Daniele ham, cherry tomatoes, burrata, mozzarelline, basil, […]
Amazing salad and amazing view onto lake Brienz: Restaurant Chalet Du Lac (30. June 2018)
When you have arrived in the Restaurant Chalet Du Lac, you are already almost in paradise. Frankly speaking, the place itself is not that incredible but the fact that it is located right next to lake Brienz and you have an absolutely marvelous view onto the lake. The service is friendly but not entirely swift […]
Lovely patio for lunch in the middle of Zurich: Restaurant Puro Social Club (27. June 2018)
As I remember, the Puro Social Club was another restaurant just about a year ago. Somehow, they managed to set up something new which seems to work quite nicely. I went for the “salad with beef filet stripes, broccoli, avocado, grilled zucchini and sprouts” (CHF 34.00) which was absolutely delicious. The “sweet potato fries” looked […]
