Good dishes but incompetent service staff: Restaurant MASI Wine Bar (12. December 2019)
While the dishes at the MASI wine bar are definitely good, even enjoyable, the service is really not up to the task! Admittedly, the place was rather full when we arrived and we got what seemed to be the last available table with high chairs. Now, not an easy setting but also not impossible to […]
When the second visit to the same place is massively better than the first one: Restaurant Tremondi (11. December 2019)
The last time I was at the Restaurant Tremondi, I was highly disappointed. However, given I wasn’t the one responsible for the reservation, I was ‘forced’ to go again. This time with a completely different result! Once we had placed our order (which the waiter needed some time to take it up), we got served […]
Delicious briskets but sub-terrestrial service: Restaurant Brisket – Southern BBQ & Bar (10. December 2019)
I like the Restaurant Brisket as a concept as it offers something you do not find in Zurich in another restaurant. Their core product are briskets. And that’s basically what they are famous for and I must say, the brisket I tried was absolutely tender and just delicious. However, there are a couple of flaws […]
Great vegetarian main but not the best restaurant of Zurich: Restaurant Weisses Rössli (10. December 2019)
According to TripAdvisor, the Restaurant Weisses Rössli is the best restaurant in Zurich. Now, frankly, I believe that is fake news. I mean, the place is actually nice and the lunch offering is good too but number 1? Come on! That has to be bought or something! I went for the soup of the day […]
Good dishes but decreasing service quality over time: Restaurant Zunft zum Schlüssel (8. Dezember 2019)
When you enter the Zunft zum Schlüssel you can find kind of two restaurants. The bistro and the actual restaurant. Tonight I had dinner at the bistro which offers a smaller menu. I went for the “soup of the day” which was a “saffron soup with king prawns” (CHF 12.00). The soup is prepared in […]
Surprisingly delicious Korean dishes with relatively slow service: Restaurant Miss Miu (3. December 2019)
I was a bit skeptical about the Miss Miu as it sounded somehow very alternative – and it turned out I was wrong. It is actually a Korean restaurant which has quite a lovely offer in terms of dishes. As a starter I went for the “Terrarossa Sign (home-made, fried Korean mandus with vegetables, 4 […]
Perfect for pintxos for an early dinner: Restaurant Pintxame (30. November 2019)
Given the Pintxo place I wanted to go was closed (i.e., their kitchen wouldn’t open again until 8pm) and I was hungry anyway, I decided to roam the streets to find a place which offers pintxos at about 6pm and I randomly found the Pintxame which looked super appealing as it was a tiny place, […]
Decent and high-quality breakfast selection: Restaurant Círculo Mercantil @ Círculo Gran Vía, Autograph Collection (30. November 2019)
The breakfast buffet is not overly extensive but offers everything you need for a solid breakfast ranging from bread … … to cold cuts and smoked salmon … … a variety of fruits … … some yogurt … … and cereals. And of course you also get some fruit juices. As said, the selection isn’t […]
