The perfect place for a summer dinner in a lovely and quiet garden patio: Ristorante Da Angela (12. June 2023)
I have only good memories of the Da Angela – I think, I’ve been there for the first time more than 20 years ago. At least it feels this way. If you’re going in summer, you should definitely sit outside in the little garden patio, which is lovely in terms of atmosphere, covered in the […]
Quick, tasty, friendly, and relaxed lunch experience in central Zurich: Restaurant 33 (12. June 2023)
I keep returning to the Restaurant 33 because they offer a swift, friendly, and price-wise fair lunch service. I went for the “mixed salad” as a starter (as part of the menu) and I like that you actually get a few different ingredients and not just salad leaves (as happens way too often). As a […]
Worth subscribing to this pop-up event series: Underwater Love @ Mame (8. June 2023)
The Underwater Love @ Mame is a pop-up concept, which focusses on seafood. The idea is basically that you get a ‘surprise menu’ (CHF 120.00), respectively, you don’t get to pick the menu. It is what it is. The evening started with “bread and spread” and let me tell you, that bread and spread was […]
Great as a Asian fusion kitchen lunch option: Restaurant Gaijin Izakaya (6. June 2023)
It’s quite a bit ago since I’ve last been to the Gaijin Izakaya, but I’ve always had good memories about the place, hence, I felt like I should give it a try for lunch as well. The lunch started with a complimentary “carrot soup”, which was quite lovely to get started. As an official starter, […]
Decent if you are here anyways, but not worth visiting: Restaurant @ Holiday Inn Paris – Gare de Lyon Bastille, an IHG Hotel (2. June 2023)
What you get in the Holiday Inn Paris – Gare de Lyon Bastille is a decent lunch offering. Not really what you would call amazing or mind-blowing, but surprisingly okay. The starter was a “slice of smoked duck with pea puree” and while the pea puree was rather uneventful, the slice of smoked duck was […]
Simple food, but incredibly friendly service when in France: Restaurant Les Bacchantes (1. June 2023)
Funny enough, the place I had picked was within walking distance of the Paris office, without me realising it. So, surprised by its location, I was actually also surprised by the whole thing. The place is tiny, but through intelligent interior design with mirrors, it looks quite a bit bigger than it actually is. The […]
Lovely lunch location in a quiet patio in the city centre: Café Milchbar – das Gaumenfreudenhaus (31. May 2023)
On a summer day, the Café Milchbar is kind of a perfect location for lunch since you get to sit outside in the patio and enjoy a good tasty dish right then and there. I went for the “Milchbar Poke Bowl (sushi rice, mango, edamame, avocado, radish, pomegranate) (CHF 24.50) with “fish crisps” (CHF 11.00) […]
Same place, same food, very different service experience: Restaurant moriki @ Roomers Hotel Baden-Baden (30. May 2023)
Given after another round of golf at yet another golf course, called Baden-Baden, we felt like having something to eat before leaving Baden-Baden, and so, it was the moriki again. I had ordered Tori Karaage (so like fried chicken), but somehow they served “tori gyoza (5 pieces chicken vegetable dumplings, ponzu)” (EUR 10.00), which I […]
