A very well-deserved Michelin star with amazing service: Restaurant CORDO (5. March 2022)
The Restaurant Cordo was recommended to me and I must say it definitely deserves its Michelin star. I went for the “Tasting Menu ‘harbour tour’” (EUR 169.00) with the respective “beverage pairing” (EUR 90.00) and it was worth the spend. The evening started with a few amuse bouches from the kitchen, namely, “crab tartelette, smoked […]
Decent place for drinks but a smokers’ bar: Bunny’s Bar (5. March 2022)
Finding a bar which is open on a Saturday afternoon and still has space is super hard to find. Unless you’re willing to queue for hours. Since I wasn’t, I finally ended up in the Bunny’s Bar. Not a place I would usually have walked into to be honest but since it was rated quite […]
A delicious place for a tasty Vietnamese lunch: Restaurant Hanoi’s Corner (5. March 2022)
If you’re looking for a Vietnamese lunch experience with plenty of tasty dishes, swift service, and for a fair price, the Hanoi’s Corner is the right place to come to. Despite being Saturday at lunch, booking in advance was not necessary since the place wasn’t really booked out. However, since it’s not massive in terms […]
An amazing place to dine out while you’re in the mountains: Restaurant Linard Lavin @ Hotel Piz Linard (3. March 2022)
The Linard Lavin has been praised on ne of the latest Gault Millau newsletters and was definitely worth trying. If you are not staying at the hotel I would highly recommend you to book a table in advance since all the hotel guests also get to eat there. Once you’re in, you’re brought a few […]
A true gem in the middle of the Grisons mountains: Restaurant Pensiun Aldier (1. March 2022)
Although it wasn’t fully booked that evening I would still recommend you to book a table in advance to make sure that you’ll have a chance to fully enjoy dinner. Once you’re seated and have been served your beverages, a little something from the kitchen is offered to start. The “salsiz tatar” is incredibly delicious […]
A mouth-watering Moroccan food experience: Restaurant DAR (25. February 2022)
While I was a bit skeptical after the bar visit, my opinion turned around quite rapidly once seated. To be fair, there was one thing which is not really that great – you’re placed with other people at the same table which makes it, since Corona still is a thing, somewhat uncomfortable. Other than that, […]
Great for a short pitstop before moving to the restaurant: DAR Bar (25. February 2022)
What once used to be a restaurant called “Maison Blunt“, is now the bar of the restaurant DAR. It’s not easy getting a reservation at the restaurant or the bar, so if you want to dine here, you have to book a table with quite some time in advance. Since the restaurant table was only […]
A buzzing place on a Thursday night with overwhelmed service: Atelier Bar (24. February 2022)
Somehow I only knew the Atelier Bar as a place for drinks but it turns out, it’s also quite nice to have a few small nibbles. We were a larger group and went for the “roastbeef plate ‘Ojo de Agua’ served with tatar sauce” (CHF 34.00) which was quite tasty and a surprisingly generous portion. […]
