Not only good for brunch but also decent for dinner: Restaurant Die Rüsterei (31. July 2019)
I only knew Die Rüsterei as a place for brunch but it turned out to be also a rather decent location for dinner. We went for the “home-made hummus with pita bread” (CHF 8.00), the “mixed olives (Nocellara del Belice from Sicily and Kalamata from Greece)” (CHF 7.00) as well as the “cheese platter”. The […]
Good lunch offering but slow kitchen: Restaurant Zur alten Post (31. July 2019)
I like the Restaurant zur Alten Post because it always offers a nice selection of menus as well as today – I went for the “zucchini foam soup with mandarin oil” (CHF 5.80) which was a bit of a tiny portion but actually quite refreshing and the hint of mandarin oil ensured that there was […]
Decent place with generally tasty dishes and great view: Restaurant Pumpstation (30. July 2019)
It is quite some time ago since I’ve been to the Restaurant Pumpstation but in summer it is quite perfect for lunch – I had something light, i.e. a “salad plate with fish crisps” (CHF 27.50) which was quite a portion (especially with the bread) and the fish crisps were fine but there were more […]
Good Middle Eastern food where you have to get everything yourself: Restaurant Binz & Kunz (25. July 2019)
What you can find at the Restaurant Binz & Kunz is a somewhat relaxed atmosphere where you get to sit outside and to do everything yourself. You want a drink? Go queue, and get it yourself? You want food? Go queue, order, pay, and wait for it and queue there again. Now, I get the […]
Great service and good dishes: Restaurant Cantinetta Antinori (25. July 2019)
The Cantinetta Antinori is always a good choice – not necessarily a cheap choice – but a good one. On a hot summer day it is perfect to sit outside in the little area which is covered by trees and you don’t get to feel the heat too much. Once you’re seated, our waitress, Anna, […]
Exquisite garden atmosphere for hot summer days: Restaurant Drei Stuben (19. July 2019)
It is several years ago since I’ve last paid the Drei Stuben a visit and it is still a lovely place worth visiting – especially during lunch as they have a lovely garden with a lot of trees and, therefore, shadow which is very welcome during the hot summer days. As a starter, I went […]
Good lunch offering and nice patio to enjoy the summer: Restaurant Lagerhaus (18. July 2019)
The Lagerhaus is somewhat amazing in summer as you get to sit outside in the patio and enjoy the summer while it is still relatively cool. The lunch offering is always fair as you get a “menu salad” (usually CHF 4.50, but included in the menu price) which is absolutely decent. For me, the only […]
Better rated than it actually should be: Restaurant Tremondi (17. July 2019)
The Tremondi is rated among the best restaurants in Zurich on TripAdvisor and frankly, I do not entirely understand why. The location is somewhat hidden but generally nice and if you get to have a spot in the little patio in the back, it is definitely nice and comfortable (and protected from the sun). However, […]
