Amazing dishes but no Swiss German speaking waiters: Restaurant 1903 @ Hotel Schönegg (14. September 2019)
There aren’t too many outstanding restaurants in Wengen (which is kind of logical due to the fact that Wengen is rather small, highly touristic and the majority of the tourists do a one-day trip) but the 1903 is one of them. As a starter I went for the “fitness salad bowl “Schönegg” – salad leaves, […]
Great service and average dishes: Restaurant Olivé @ Radisson Blu St. Gallen (12. September 2019)
If you want to eat at the Restaurant Olivé late at night make sure that kitchen is still up and running. Although the official announcement of the restaurant on its homepage is warm kitchen until 10pm, we ended up not getting any food the last time we tried at around 9:30pm although we had called […]
Amazing wine bar but grumpy waitress: Restaurant Weinlokal 1733 (11. September 2019)
It is about 2 years ago since I’ve last visited the 1733 and I had fond memories of that visit so it was time to do so again. I had called upfront to ask if the kitchen was still open that late and luckily it was. However, the waitress seemed more semi-amused about the fact […]
Lovely service but incredibly slow: Restaurant Einstein Bistro (11. September 2019)
If you are in a hurry for lunch, the Einstein Bistro is not the best place but they are doing a good job in terms of service and customer orientation. I walked in around 2pm to get some food as it was only late when I found the time to have something for lunch. And […]
Delicious dishes but unfriendly service: Restaurant la focacceria (10. September 2019)
The la focacceria remains a good place for a dinner even when it’s already rather late – since the kitchen is open for longer than 10pm. I went for the “stracciatella (the creamy and smooth center from delicious burrata, with olive oil)” (CHF 9.50) which looked a bit questionable due to the oil layer but […]
Great dishes but absolutely weak service: Restaurant La Môme (7. September 2019)
After an excessive day on La Guerite it turned out to be rather difficult to motivate the whole group to go for dinner. We had booked a table at 10:30pm and ultimately ended up getting a table at around 11:30pm. Frankly, I get the French laissez-faire lifestyle but waiting more than an hour for your […]
Amazing party location Mykonos style: Restaurant La Guérite (7. September 2019)
Talking about a really nice and lasting experience while in Cannes, you should pay the La Guérite a visit! The La Guérite is located on the little island right in front of Cannes called “La Marguerite” and you can only get there if you book in advance and use the restaurants boat shuttle service. We […]
Surprisingly good dishes in a lovely sea front setting: Restaurant Le Bénitier (7. September 2019)
If you are looking for a place to have a tasty breakfast in a nice atmosphere, the Le Bénitier is the right place in Cannes. I went for the “Hawaiian poke bowl with mint sauce, salmon tatar, cucumber, avocado, mango, onion and rice” (EUR 21.00) which is admittedly a bit heavy for a breakfast but […]
