Definitely hyped and not worth the fuzz: Restaurant Simon’s Steakhouse (24. October 2019)
The Restaurant Simon’s Steakhouse is listed as one of the best steakhouses of Zurich and I’m not sure I share that impression. In any case, I had booked about 6-8 weeks before and I was already positively surprised that they had managed to find the reservation (which I have had experienced differently in other restaurants). […]
Great for a swift lunch: Restaurant am Gallusplatz (24. October 2019)
The last time I was in the Restaurant am Gallusplatz, it took them ages to attend us and we were waiting for a solid 40+ minutes for our food. This time, everything was different. We were welcomed and seated right away and the waitress was not only friendly but also very swift. I went for […]
Selection of a variety of delicious cheese fondues: Restaurant Fondue Beizli (23. October 2019)
It is a solid five years ago since I’ve last visited the Fondue Beizli and it was finally time again. We went for the “fondue aux fines herbes (home-made cheese mix with fresh herbs and a shot of Williams)” (CHF 24.50 per person). The cheese was smooth and rich in terms of flavor and the […]
A solid choice as always: Restaurant netts (22. October 2019)
While my very first visit ever to the netts (probably in 2007 or so) was really a disappointment due to the non-satisfactory service, it has become a place I like to frequent when in St. Gallen. I went for the “curry soup with coconut foam” (CHF 14.00) as a starter and it was perfectly balanced […]
Good Asian cuisine worth the wait: Restaurant Co Chin Chin (17. October 2019)
It is about two years ago since I’ve last been to the Co Chin Chin but I had positive memories of the place. And the fact that you would not be able to get a table about 3-4 days in advance (as they were already fully booked) kind of backed that impression. However, you always […]
Amazing for breakfast if you have time – and only if: Café Promenade (13. October 2019)
The Café Promenade is the perfect place for breakfast if you have time, and absolutely only if you have time! The café is a little restaurant located in the park and you get to sit outside and enjoy the last rays of sun before winter comes. Now, while the view is incredibly lovely, what isn’t […]
Traditionally Austrian: Restaurant Welscher Stub’n (12. October 2019)
The Welscher Stub’n was conveniently located right next to Katze Katze and offers traditional Austrian dishes. I went for the “pumpkin risotto with Parmesan cheese” (EUR 9.90) which was a decent portion for a starter and was actually tasty. However, you can easily realize that the risotto wasn’t freshly prepared as the risotto was very […]
Absolutely exquisite bar with great drinks: Katze Katze (12. October 2019)
I thought “Katze Katze” (cat cat) is the weirdest possible name for a bar, especially if the somehow official name is ‘Landhauskeller’. However, the place is more cat cat than a cellar. There is a lovely bar in the middle of the patio and they serve quite tasty drinks. At first, I went for the […]
