Lovely location right next to the lake shore: Restaurant L’O (31. May 2021)
I have heard quite a bit about the L’O in Horgen and I must say, I do understand why. The place offers tasty dishes, friendly service, and a great atmosphere. The “petit frites, small fried fish with soy mayo” (CHF 24.00) were a good starter to begin the evening. They were super crispy of course […]
How to realize that the restaurant hasn’t been open for a long (!) time: Restaurant Gerold Chuchi (31. May 2021)
Somehow it seems like restaurants are really not used to being restaurants anymore. While the place was almost empty when we arrived, it took them a solid 15 (!) minutes to bring the menu which is just off. I mean, how long does it potentially take you to bring six menus to a table? 15 […]
Unbearably long waiting times – despite the nice setting: Restaurant Brasserie Schiller (28. May 2021)
What is lovely when you visit the Brasserie Schiller for lunch is the fact that you get tasty food in a lovely setting – seated in the sun enjoying the heat. What isn’t so great is the fact that the service takes way too long – to bring the menu, to take up the order, […]
Even in Corona times it remains a valid option: Restaurant Paulaner’s Wirtshaus mit Biergarten @ The Westin Grand Munich (18. May 2021)
I always loved the breakfast options at the Westin Grand in Munich – and, unfortunately, due to Corona, this is not so much the case anymore. Not saying that the breakfast is bad but compared to the usual buffet with hundreds of options, this is really kind of a disappointment. In any case, the service […]
Lovely lake view but mediocre service: Restaurant 45 Grill & Health @ Grand Hotel Suisse Majestic, Autograph Collection (8. May 2021)
What I watched the previous evening was the ‘live preparation’ of salad right at your table. And it was somehow appealing. So, I decided to have a prepared salad by the table and went for “tailor-made salad ‘Health’” (CHF 21.00) and I had selected “sucrine, grilled chicken breast, grilled avocado, goji berries, anchovies and olive […]
Delicious meat with excellent service: Restaurant 45 Grill & Health @ Grand Hotel Suisse Majestic, Autograph Collection (7. May 2021)
The Restaurant 45 Grill & Health really is a positive surprise – especially for a hotel restaurant. The place is lovely in terms of location and in terms of view if you manage to get a table outside. The service was absolutely exquisite this evening. I went for the “duo of beef tatars (majestic beef […]
Delicious Italian lunch offer: Restaurant Don Leone Stauffacher (4. May 2021)
Despite the cold weather, it was great to sit outside and be able to have a proper meal. It is key though to bring a jacket and make sure you’re warm enough as else it is somewhat uncomfortable. The Don Leone Stauffacher doesn’t offer too many tables outside so booking in advance is highly recommended. […]
Near-perfect experience, if only the double espresso would have been served quicker: Restaurant Ikibana Paralelo (1. May 2021)
The Ikibana Paralelo was recommended to me by a friend and I must say, it was a good recommendation. I started with a “Tokiocabana (Leblon cachaça sake, lychee puree, sisho sweet syrup and lime juice)” (EUR 13.00) which was refreshing and a nice start into lunch. What surprised me, to be honest, was the fact […]
