An exquisite dinner in a traditional setup: Restaurant Zum Goldenen Schäfli (27. November 2019)
For years I have had the “Zum Goldenen Schäfli” on my to do list and still have never managed to pay the place a visit. Finally, it was time to do so! I went for the “roasted milke served in a mustard sauce and salad” (CHF 20.00). As simple as the dish is and as […]
Lovely traditional Afghan food experience in the heart of Zurich: Restaurant Afghan Anar (26. November 2019)
The Afghan Anar started as a pop-up restaurant a couple of months back and now opened its own location as a regular restaurant and I must say, it is quite an experience of its own. If you book for the “seating tables” you will definitely be closer to the actual Afghan experience than when you […]
Delicious lunch offering – and this time in a speedy manner: Restaurant Facincani (26. November 2019)
The Facincani is one of the places I have in mind for slow service as once I had to wait a solid 40 minutes for my gnocchi which were “the menu of the day”. Since then, I have that association – but today, it changed a bit. I went for the soup of the day, […]
A great alternative to non-hotel restaurants: Restaurant Olivé @ Radisson Blu St. Gallen (25. November 2019)
Although I stay at the Radisson Blu in St. Gallen from time to time, I do not eat hear often. But I thought I give it a try again as the food is actually surprisingly good – especially for a regular hotel restaurant! Once we were seated, we were attended rather swiftly and right after […]
Perfect local bratwurst experience: Restaurant Bratwurstglöcklein im Handwerkerhof (24. November 2019)
I was looking for a very traditional ‘bratwurst’ place in Nuremberg which is the birth place of the famous ‘Nürnberger Rostbratwürste’ and I found the Bratwurstglöcklein (little bratwurst bell) – and I was wondering why the place was called like this. I figured once the first round was served “6 Rostbratwürste from Nuremberg with potato […]
Traditional location, dedicated service, and interesting bites: Restaurant Essigbrätlein (23. November 2019)
And finally time for the Michelin stars number 11 and 12 in 9 days. The Essigbrätlein has 2 Michelin stars and I think that’s deserved. I already had a positive impression of the location as the entrance is a bit hidden (and you have to be attentive to spot it) and there is something like […]
A lovely little place in the city center: Café in der 12 (23. November 2019)
Sometimes you find the loveliest places when you just randomly walk around in a city. There is a little area in the city center of Nuremberg which offers something like a tiny Christmas market which seems to be there all year round. I found a Café called “Café in der 12” which is tiny but […]
Lovely dishes but service with an attitude: Restaurant Entenstuben (22. November 2019)
When I had booked the restaurant a couple of months back, I wasn’t aware I was going to dine at a Michelin starred restaurant again in the same week. Well, given it was my 10th Michelin star in 8 days, it was just perfect to sit back, relax, and enjoy! The evening started with an […]
