Quite a good Chinese food find: Restaurant Glückskeks (12. February 2023)
Since the Restaurant Glückskeks had a rating of 5.0 by 32 people on Google Maps, I decided to give it a try! The entrance is not easy to find, since you need to find the stairs and go down there to be able to enjoy the food. The place was absolutely empty when I arrived, […]
An absolutely delicious food experience with an even better wine pairing: Restaurant Pavillon (9. February 2023)
To visit the Pavillon was on my to-do list for quite a while. But eating 2 Michelin stars in Switzerland come with a price! The “Tasting Menu ‘Harmony’” accounts for CHF 330.00 per person, and the “wine pairing” for CHF 180.00. So, with ‘only’ CHF 510.00 per person, you are all in! To be fair […]
A truly local neighbourhood restaurant: Restaurant Falken Wiedikon (8. February 2023)
When a misunderstanding leads to a smaller portion than expected. Originally, I wanted to get a soup as a starter, but the waiter somehow forgot about it, so suddenly, we had the main course on the table! And quite quickly so! Well, it is what it is, and I enjoyed the “pork cordon bleu staffed […]
Turbinenbräu remains a down-to-earth delicious place with simple dishes: Restaurant Turbinenbräu (7. February 2023)
It’s a bit ago since I’ve been to the Turbinenbräu and the last time I ended up there in the ‘surprise’ all-you-can-eat ribs night! This time, it wasn’t that evening! So, I decided to go for something more traditional on the menu. The “pinsa caliente (chorizo, peperoni, garlic, sour cream with smoked bell pepper)” (CHF […]
Still decent but not at the level of previous visits: Restaurant Hopfenau (6. February 2023)
It is almost a year ago since I’ve last been to the Hopfenau, but it was definitely worth going back to! I went for the “soup of the day (chickpeas and mushrooms soup)” (CHF 11.00), which was nice and light and enjoyable. One can argue if chickpeas and mushrooms should account for CHF 11.00, but […]
Quite a delicious and simple Indian pre-flight food experience: Restaurant Bombay Bungalow (5. February 2023)
Since I wanted to eat somewhere close to the hotel before leaving for the airport, I was looking for places in JBR and found the Bombay Bungalow, which is a lovely Indian place. The evening started with “bread and dip”, which was quite nice. I then went for the “chicken (spicy fried chicken with south […]
Perfect for a shisha and loud DJ music: Andreea’s Beach Club (5. February 2023)
Since I had only been to the restaurant last time, I decided to give the Beach Club itself a try as well. I went, as always, for a “double apple shisha” (150.00 AED) and a “Corona” (50.00 AED) to spend some time by the pool. The place is quite nice, but the DJ blasts up […]
A lovely little patio with decent dishes: Restaurant Nola Eatery & Social House (5. February 2023)
The Nola Eatery was recommended to me by a friend the previous day, so, I decided to give it a shot! I went for the “hot spinach cheese dip (oven baked, served with sourdough crostini)” (46.00 AED) as a starter, which was quite lovely. The bread was not entirely easy to eat, since it was […]
