An interesting and genuine Peruvian food experience: Restaurant Barranco (17. September 2020)
Finally, I was able to get a table for the Barranco. Somehow you always have to book weeks in advance to secure a table which is – honestly speaking – quite annoying. However, it is worth doing it. Once you’re seated, the waitress attends you relatively quickly to bring some nibbles (corn) and the menu. […]
Business lunch – almost like in Bavaria: Restaurant Bauschänzli (17. September 2020)
Somehow I have always associated the Restaurant Bauschänzli with the Swiss version of the “Oktoberfest” and wasn’t really visiting it too often. And I suppose my assumption wasn’t entirely off. What you get here are basically simple but hearty dishes for lunch. I went for the “perch crisps in beer dough with tartare sauce and […]
Very decent offer for a business lunch: Restaurant Brasserie Schiller (10. September 2020)
Sometimes, it’s easy what to get. One of the last sunny days this years (although I hope differently), I decided to have a good beef tartare as a main course. The “tartare de filet de boeuf (from Schrofenhof Limousin beef, served with quail egg, butter toast and fries”) (CHF 38.00) was actually quite delicious. And […]
Decent for lunch but the service isn’t up to the task: Restaurant Public Burger (9. September 2020)
Attentiveness is definitely not one of their strongest points – the Public Burger might not be used to too many guests as it seems to be a rather new place which only opened recently but frankly, when the waitress looks straight at you (and there is no one else around) when you sit down and […]
A solid value in the city centre: Restaurant Terrasse @ Baur au Lac (8. September 2020)
Although the whole lunch experience is on the more expensive side, the Restaurant Terrasse at the Baur au Lac remains a solid value when it comes to the service and food quality. The “Burrata from Apulia, tomato, Ligurian olive oil” (CHF 24.00) was not only nice to look at but the tomatoes were actually mouth-watering, […]
Delicious Korean dishes in a simple atmosphere: Restaurant Bibim Shack Stauffacher (5. September 2020)
It’s quite a bit ago since I’ve tried Korean but the Bibim Shack at the Stauffacher was ranked quite high for their food so I decided to give it a try. The “kimchi rice balls with spicy, sweet sauce” (CHF 12.50) and the “Korean fried chicken with Korean mayo” (CHF 13.50) were both good but […]
Great for a quick lunch – but with rather slow service towards the end: Restaurant PURO – The Social Club (5. September 2020)
Sometimes it’s just about finding a place which offers something simple and delicious for lunch – and the Restaurant PURO does exactly that. The “Executive Bowl (salad bowl with cherry tomatoes, edamame, pomegranate seeds, croutons)” (CHF 27.00) and “chicken breast” (+ CHF 9.00) does exactly that. It’s simple, refreshing, and delicious. So, perfect for a […]
