Lovely concept but overpriced for what you get: Restaurant Coco Grill & Bar (5. July 2019)
So far I had only been to the Coco Grill & Bar for lunch but never for dinner. The concept in the evening is even simpler than for lunch – there is one menu served and you do not really get a choice what you want to eat besides the main course. I went for […]
Lovely little patio in the back: Restaurant Lagerhaus (4. July 2019)
I was not aware of the fact that the restaurant Lagerhaus has a little outside patio which isn’t actually that little but quite huge. The lunch menu today consisted of a “cold cucumber bowl” which was good in terms of flavor and consistency. However, while serving something cold is fine, I do not understand why […]
Quite authentic Arabic mezze: Restaurant Le Mezzerie de Moudi (27. June 2019)
The Le Mezzerie de Moudi is a lovely place where you get great Arabic mezze. When it’s warm as it was the past weeks, then it is perfect to sit outside – however, you might want to chose the less busy side of the building where there isn’t a bus running by every five to […]
Exactly the same as 10 years ago: Restaurant Marktplatz (26. June 2019)
The Restaurant Marktplatz was already there when I studied in St. Gallen 10 years ago – and the staff is actually (at least to some degree) still the same. The Austrian male waiter is still there and runs the place from a service perspective. However, they were not really on the quick side this evening […]
Good lunch offering in a cool atmosphere: Restaurant zum Schlössli (25. June 2019)
It is a bit ago since I’ve been to the Schlössli but I have good memories of the place, so it was time to visit again. As a starter I went for the “cold bell pepper soup with cream cheese balls”. The soup was refreshing and ideal for the hot temperatures. As a main, I […]
Slow service but tasty dishes: Restaurant Zeughaus (24. June 2019)
The Restaurant Zeughaus is a very simple place but offers absolutely tasty dishes. As a starter I went for the “tortellini in brodo” (CHF 4.50) and frankly speaking, I wasn’t expecting much but the broth is intense and full of flavor and the tortellini are cooked perfectly al dente. The only downside was the fact […]
Small menu but lovely service and good food: Restaurant 50 zu 5 (21. June 2019)
I had visited the 50 zu 5 once about a year ago for dinner and wasn’t really blown away by it. What they offer for lunch is quite delicious though – although the menu is super small with two starters and two mains. I went for the “strawberry gazpacho with cucumber, bell pepper, MELISSE and […]
Vegan isn’t so bad after all: Restaurant Veganapati (23. June 2019)
Whenever someone takes me to a vegan restaurant I put my expectations at the lowest level possible as I believe you’re just missing out on things in terms of nutrients when you don’t eat any meat or diary products. Said that, I followed the rest of the group and gave in to visiting a vegan […]
