Tasty Asian food in a cozy and romantic atmosphere: Restaurant Tam Tam (22. October 2018)
When I first entered the Tam Tam, I was a bit surprised as the whole place has a relatively romantic atmosphere with dried flowers, dimmed light and candles. Not so typical for an Asian restaurant. However, the place is actually nice in terms of what they serve plus the service is friendly, helpful and swift. […]
Swift service when it’s empty and lunch bargain: Restaurant *hirschchen (22. October 2018)
When it’s not so sunny, the service at the Restaurant *hirschchen is actually quite swift. And their lunch bargain is still absolutely fine. Today it was “beef stripes ‘stroganoff’ with herb spaetzle” (EUR 9.90) … … accompanied by a “beet root salad”. The beef as well as the spaetzle were good and the pickled beet […]
Definitely an outstanding Sunday brunch: Restaurant Neptun @ Seehotel Sternen (21. October 2018)
I was told a lot about the Sunday brunch at the Seehotel Sternen – so it was worth to give it a try. For CHF 63.00 you get the buffet which consists of a ‘starter buffet’, a ‘salad buffet’, a ‘main course station’ and a ‘dessert buffet’. Additionally, you get two hot beverages and a […]
Friendly service but small portions: Restaurant Belcanto (19. October 2018)
I haven’t been to the Belcanto for more than a year – it is still a good place to come back to. I went for the “starter salad from the buffet” which is included in the menu and offers you a nice selection of different salads (and not just the green leaf salad like in […]
Also good during the game season: Restaurant Brasserie Freilager (18. October 2018)
I love to return to the Brasserie Freilager as it always offers tasty dishes, changes the menu on a regular basis, has a nice atmosphere and friendly staff. As it is game season, I went for the “game consomé with cognac and rosemary dumplings” (CHF 16.00). I must admit thought that the starter is a […]
Decent Tex Mex selection: Restaurant Casita Mexicana Pempelfort (18. October 2018)
I am always very skeptical when it comes to Mexican food being served anywhere else but Mexico. And for a good reason. I was jokingly saying to my colleagues that the place is probably run by Italians – and I was right. The waiters were speaking Italian when we entered (I am aware that this […]
A true little gem in the middle of the harbor: Restaurant Lido Hafen (17. October 2018)
I had walked by the Lido a couple of times and somehow each time I stopped to check out the menu – today was the day I was giving it a try. While I was expecting a full place, it turned out that our table was the only table occupied. I almost felt a bit […]
Free-floating Italian concept: Restaurant Da Nando (17. October 2018)
Another day, another restaurant – following that principle, today it was time to try the Da Nando. I was a bit skeptical approaching the place as it somehow doesn’t look too appealing from the outside. However, when you get in and you realize that pretty much everyone in there speaks Italian, I consider this a […]
