A lovely location, just not really a rooftop garden: Restaurant Roof Garden @ Globus (25. July 2022)
The Roof Garden on top of the Globus mall somehow sounded extremely promising – but turned out to be not as great as I had expected. The whole thing is called ‘Roof Garden’ which implies somehow a rooftop element. And well, you’re on top of Globus, so you’re on is roof, however, it doesn’t really […]
Good as always but quality is highly dependent on staff: Restaurant Coco Grill & Bar (25. July 2022)
If you’re looking for a nice, relaxing place to enjoy lunch outside while not being fried by the sun, I can definitely recommend you the Coco Grill & Bar – important: Book your table in advance. I went for the “menu salad” to start, which was – as always – quite nice since it has […]
The perfect place to eat a hearty dish after hiking to the top: Berggasthaus Wildspitz (24. July 2022)
When you do a hike of 800m height difference, you’re definitely looking for a good and heavy kind of meal when you’ve reached the top. The Berggasthaus Wildspitz offers exactly that. The “roesti with bacon and egg sunny-side up” (CHF 19.00) does not look fancy, and it isn’t, but it’s a great bite. The roesti […]
A rather simple and standard place with friendly service: Restaurant La Piazzetta (22. July 2022)
The La Piazzetta has a bit of a difficult position since the area inside is quite lovely and appealing – while the few tables outside, due to the position of the restaurant on a corner, are not really that appealing in terms of being seated. They weekly menus, but I decided to try something else […]
A great new place in the middle of the city – with a lovely garden patio: Restaurant Enja (21. July 2022)
Apparently, it’s not that long ago since the Enja has opened. So, it’s rather new to the gastro scene in Zurich. And it’s a nice place worth trying. If you can, try to get a table in the garden (instead of inside) which is kind of a patio, and it is rather nice in terms […]
The perfect combination of caring, delicious food, and nice atmosphere: Restaurant Krone Altstetten (21. July 2022)
The Krone Altstetten combines the concept of gastronomy with the concept of helping people with challenges. Therefore, they hire people with challenges as waiters and waitresses – which is quite an amazing concept. On top of that, they also have a lovely garden in which you can enjoy your meal, plus offer quite tasty dishes. […]
An absolutely interesting Turkish-like dinner experience: Restaurant Gül (20. July 2022)
The restaurant Gül is a modern interpretation of Turkish food, made palatable for the more central European palate. And the best way to try out the different dishes is the “Gülty Menü Sürpriz” (CHF 80.00 per person) which is providing you with a nice overview of typical Turkish dishes served in the Gül. The first […]
Exquisite lunch offering in a nice setting and a perfect host: Restaurant Zunfthaus zur Waag (20. July 2022)
The Zunfthaus zur Waag hasn’t changed much over the years. It’s a solid go-to place where you get good, tasty, and traditional dishes. However, to be honest, not sure about the “gazpacho” they served as a starter since it was rather far from everything like a gazpacho I had ever tried in my past. The […]
