Delicious four course menu with exquisite service: Restaurant Teufelhof (26. June 2018)
The Teufelhof is apparently one of the best restaurants in Basel and I must say that I tend to believe that after my experience. There is a nice selection of “butter” to start … … with a selection of some different breads. While the selection was good some of them were a bit too dry […]
Decent lunch offering on a terrace: Restaurant Engel (26. June 2018)
The “vegetable soup” was rather thick and probably the best of the left overs of the last couple of days. However, despite the rather ‘mixed nature’ of the soup, it was actually quite rich and a good start into lunch. The “zander crisps with sauce tartar, French fries and salad” (CHF 26.50) were quite delicious. […]
Luscious lunch bargain in central Zurich: Restaurant Rosaly’s (25. June 2018)
In summer you have the opportunity to sit outside in a little patio for lunch. If you are early enough you get to pick one of these tables and it’s worth it. The waiters are friendly and swift. The “soup of the day” was a “potato soup” which was simple but luckily not watery. The […]
Amazing Blunzngröstl – definitely worth trying: Restaurant Die Serviette (24. June 2018)
There aren’t too many restaurants open on a Sunday around midday but the Serviette was open and apparently quite good in terms of reputation. The place itself lacks a bit in atmosphere as it is tiny and somehow the tables are super close to each other and you are basically getting everything which happens in […]
Lovely traditional Austrian dishes: Restaurant Plachutta Wollzeile (23. June 2018)
In the Plachutta you get traditional Austrian dishes which are served in large soup pots where the meat and the vegetables are boiled … … ranging from things like “Krustelspitz” … … to “Weisses Scherzel” (EUR 20.90) … … or “Schulterscherzel” (EUR 21.40) which is basically beef cooked in broth together with some vegetables. And […]
So rude and then so lovely: Restaurant Ulrich (23. June 2018)
I visited the Ulrich a couple of years back in 2016 (read review) and I liked it quite a bit back then, so I was coming in with a very positive expectation. However, I was very disappointed in the first minutes. After having sat down, nothing happened for quite a while, so I decided to […]
Another visit to No. 14 of the world: Restaurant Steirereck (22. June 2018)
I visited the Steirereck back in 2012 and haven’t been back since (read 2012 review here). But somehow, I decided it was time to give it another shot. Coincidentally, it was also just three days before that the Steirereck has been ranked #14 of the world’s 50 best restaurants. What I was a bit surprised […]
“Cash only” food joint with great halloumi cheese: Restaurant Orange Box (20. June 2018)
The Restaurant Orange Box is in thus far a typical German restaurant as you cannot pay your food with any type of debit or credit card. Only cash is allowed. I went for the “mat role with halloumi cheese” (EUR 5.90) which was decent in flavor and the food was served still hot so the […]
