A great location for a business lunch: Restaurant Qirin (26. April 2023)
I had fond memories of the Qirin for dinner, so, it was time to give it a shot for lunch. And again, I was positively surprised. They offer a lunch menu, respectively, they have two lunch menu cards. Pay attention when you get two menus on the table, they are not necessarily the same! I […]
An interesting mixture – Asian dishes served as tapas: Restaurant Vesu Sushi Tapas Bar (25. April 2023)
The Vesu Sushi Tapas Bar is not in an area of Zurich, where you would expect such a restaurant. But, it turns out, close to Langstrasse, there are also quite nice and modern restaurants. The Vesu Sushi Tapas Bar is one of them. They serve a mix between different Japanese cuisines in a tapa way. […]
An interesting alternative for meat – to be kept on the watchlist: Restaurant Meat Me (24. April 2023)
The Meat Me is a place I’m not so sure what to make of. When we had booked for 6.30pm, which is, admittedly, quite early, the place was absolutely empty. A few hours later, the place was a bit fuller, but far from full. And that despite the fact that the restaurant is open already […]
Remains a good place for lunch – with a weak main dish today: Restaurant Coco Grill & Bar (24. April 2023)
To me, the Coco Grill & Bar just remains a safe choice for lunches. As almost always, I went with the “carrot-based starter soup” (CHF 8.50), which was served within minutes after placing our order. And as always, it was good, but nothing out of the ordinary. As a main, I went for the “veal […]
A nice French bistrot with a few smaller flaws: Restaurant Chez Be (22. April 2023)
Visiting the Chez Be was on my to-do list for a longer period of time since my sister had recommended it to me. So, it was time to leave Zurich and drive to Sursee, which is a good one-hour drive. And I must say, it was worth the drive. Once you’re seated, you get a […]
Tasty dishes but quite unappealing interior: Restaurant Roots @ Balboa (22. April 2023)
It is almost one year ago since I’ve last been to the Roots @ Balboa. And in my memory, this wasn’t all too special. But given it was a Saturday over lunch, there wasn’t all too much to pick from, so I ended up here again and went for the “autumn salad (salad, portobello mushroom, […]
The perfect place if you’re looking for food around 10pm: Restaurant 33 (20. April 2023)
One thing, which is definitely a huge positive about the Restaurant 33, is the fact that the kitchen is open until 10pm. Absolutely an exception in Zurich – however, I would highly recommend you to call in advance if you’re there close to 10pm, since this ensures that you will get food and not run […]
Good, but not as good as on previous visits: Restaurant George Bar & Grill (19. April 2023)
While the time between the last two visits was more than a year, this time it was only a few weeks. And I decided to go for something I haven’t had before at the George, and took the “burratina (tomato confit, Taggiasca olives, rocket, home-made Focaccia Barese)” (CHF 25.00) as a starter. While the burrata […]
