A lovely place for a summer lunch (although it gets a bit cold in the shadows): Restaurant Coco Grill & Bar (13. April 2022)
I think, so far, I’ve only been ever to Coco’s inside but since the weather was already relatively nice, we decided to sit outside and enjoy the few sun rays that were already there and take them in. The lunch started with a “carrot ginger soup” (CHF 8.50) which was absolutely decent. The “Super Healthy […]
An outstanding Japanese tasting menu experience: Restaurant Metropol (11. April 2022)
When you’re seated in the – admittedly not so comfortable – sofas, the waitress serves some “edamame with sea salt” which I consider quite a lovely treat by the kitchen. Firstly, because I like them, secondly, because they cost CHF 9.00 if you order them from the menu. Since we didn’t really know what to […]
One last time before the restaurant closes down forever: Restaurant Adelboden (9. April 2022)
I was lucky enough to try the kitchen of Franz Wiget already back in January one time and even luckier to get a second chance to do so this time. When I asked Ms. Wiget if there was a remote chance that we get to have lunch with them again in June before they actually […]
Simple yet swift and sound Italian lunch: Restaurant Antica Roma (7. April 2022)
I had no expectations for the Antica Roma, but was positively surprised by this little restaurant. The Antica Roma is a typical Italian restaurant, how you imagine it – simple in terms of interior design and offering a vast menu with all kinds of Italian different dishes making the actual selection tricky. Luckily, they also […]
When high expectations are not even remotely reached: Restaurant Misoga (6. April 2022)
The Misoga was rated amazingly when I checked it out, so, naturally, my expectations were relatively high. Turns out, I shouldn’t have had high expectations, since then I would have been much less disappointed. As a starter we went for the “Gun Mandu (fried dumplings with tofu and beef)” which were supposed to be CHF […]
Decent but not as good as I remembered it: Restaurant Cantinetta Antinori (6. April 2022)
Somehow I had mentally saved the ‘Cantinetta Antinori’ as a rather expensive place for lunch. Turns out though, that they offer a lunch menu which is absolutely fine (depending on the main you pick). The lunch started with a “cream of carrot soup” which was decent to begin with. The “tuna steak with grilled vegetables” […]
A delicious vegetarian dinner experience by Nenad Mlinarevic: Restaurant Neue Taverne (5. April 2022)
It’s also a bit more than two years ago since I’ve first visited the Restaurant Neue Taverne, and I was curious to go again. The “sourdough bread with dip” (CHF 7.50) remains a good choice to start the evening. Secondly, the “Stracciatella di Burrata, flower sprouts, jalapeño mint pesto” (CHF 22.00) provides the right combination […]
A good lunch bargain in a nice setting: Restaurant Au Premier @ Hotel Metropol (5. April 2022)
It’s a bit more than two years ago since I’ve last been at the Au Premier in the Hotel Metropol in St. Gallen and since I have last been there, they have changed the menu. The “lunch menu” (CHF 35.00) starts with soup or salad. And I went for the “roasted cauliflower soup” as a […]
