Delicious Italian dishes in a perfect social distancing setup: Restaurant La Piazzetta (17. June 2020)
It is quite some time ago since I’ve visited the La Piazzetta but I have realized again that it really is a nice place which offers good dishes for dinner. Although we had booked in advance, there was really no reason to do so as the place was almost empty – and remained almost empty […]
Korean barbecue where you wouldn’t expect it: Restaurant Shilla (16. June 2020)
The Shilla is located in the former Restaurant Poco Loco which I used to frequent about 20 years ago. And while it doesn’t really look that appealing from the outside, I was very positively surprised about the quality of the food you get there. We went for “Kalbi Mandu (meat dumplings)” (CHF 10.00) as one […]
Pre-booking a table during COVID-19 times is a must: Restaurant Einstein Bistro (15. June 2020)
What you get at the Einstein Bistro remains enjoyable – the “Zuercher Geschnetzeltes with Roesti” (CHF 39.00) is not only a nice big portion (although it doesn’t really look like), it’s also absolutely tasty! They set up the restaurant in a way so there is enough space between the single tables which is definitely something […]
Decent for a quick bite: Restaurant eNDi Burger (12. June 2020)
I drove by the eNDi Burger restaurant so many times but never managed to top and try their burgers. Today was the day! I went for the “cheese burger (140gr beef patty from 100% Swiss Limousin beef, Greyezer cheese, eggplant mayonnaise, eNDi Barbecuesauce, leaf salad, buns)” (CHF 20.50) with “additional jalapeños” (CHF 2.00) and “a […]
Lovely view onto Lake Zurich with good dishes – but a slow kitchen: Restaurant Fischer’s Fritz (12. June 2020)
The Fischer’s Fritz is famous for its “fish crisps with home-made tartare sauce” (CHF 35.50). The catch of the day was perch. The crisps are actually amazing as there is a lot of fish and not much batter making it a proper meal. However, there isn’t much tartare sauce which made me order some more […]
When the intern is attending you and you just won’t get your glass of wine: Restaurant Brasserie Freilager (11. Juni 2020)
To me, the Brasserie Freilager is an incredibly reliable location where you get good food for a fair price with decent service in a nice atmosphere. And today, that was true again. To a large degree at least. The service part did not entirely work out well. Given the place was rather full, there was […]
A truly unique Italian dining experience in a family-run restaurant: Restaurant L’Altro (10. June 2020)
The L’Altro is just something else – a restaurant which offers simple yet delicious Italian dishes in a lovely atmosphere and with very professional and friendly staff. Once we had ordered our dishes, we got a little trait from the kitchen, “pappa al pomodoro with bread croutons and Parmesan foam” which was intense in flavor […]
Delicious and light Asian lunch offering: Restaurant Metropol (10. June 2020)
I have walked by the Restaurant Metropol many times before and the restaurant was recommended to me a couple of times, however, so far I never had managed to pay it a visit, so it was finally about time. Booking in advance in these times is crucial to save a spot for lunch. I went […]
