A great breakfast buffet selection worth enjoying when here: Restaurant Moments @ Geneva Marriott Hotel (14. July 2023)
If you decide to stay at the Geneva Marriott Hotel because you’ve just been on a plane or are intending to get onto a plane somewhen soon from Geneva, then the Marriott is a good choice when it comes to the breakfast! The selection of dishes is rather impressive and it’s not just the variety […]
Clearly overrated and overpriced – but with a nice terrace: Restaurant Chez Philippe (13. July 2023)
I was looking forward to dining at the Chez Philippe, mainly, because the place was rated quite well, so, I was looking forward to a great meal and started with the “beef heart tomato gazpacho” (CHF 18.00), which was nice in terms of flavour and added texture through the vegetable cubes. However, the size was […]
Tasty Thai dishes on a nice little balcony: Restaurant Jeab The Fine Cuisine Thai (13. July 2023)
I did not quite know what to expect from the Jeab The Fine Cuisine Thai, but was rather positively surprised. The place is rather tiny, but if you book in advance, you get a table on the balcony in the back, which is relatively cool despite hot weather. So, make sure to book in sufficiently […]
A decent Vietnamese lunch option in central Zurich: Restaurant Saigon (12. July 2023)
I have passed by the Saigon that many times, that I was really curious how it would actually be. And it works surprisingly well as a take-away and dine-in restaurant. I went for the “Goi Cuon Bo (summer roll with seasoned lemongrass beef, peanuts, salad, mint)” (CHF 8.50), which was a lovely starter, but the […]
Absolutely delicious Italian food, but definitely on the expensive side of things: Restaurant Ornellaia (11. July 2023)
I had never visited the Ornellaia in its old location, but apparently it wasn’t anything good. However, they had refurbished everything, and I was curious to try out the new place. The menu is rather small, so, the choice isn’t massive, hence, I went for the “Caesar Salad (lettuce, Caesar dressing, Parmesan)” (CHF 21.00), which […]
Delicious lunch offering, but overpriced: Restaurant Eden Kitchen & Bar (11. July 2023)
I have good memories of the Eden Kitchen & Bar and was looking forward to having lunch here this time (instead of dinner like the last time). I went for the “green tiger tomato gazpacho, compressed watermelon, yuzu” (CHF 28.00), which was surprisingly delicious, but it was a rather expensive dish for a starter. As […]
Decent Italian food experience in a nice, but noisy location: Restaurant Zafferano (10. July 2023)
It’s a while ago since I’ve last been to the Zunfthaus zu Safran, so, I figured, why not try this place again, and after all, it has a rating of approx. 4.6 on Google. And I must say, this is largely deserved. I went for the “Gazpacho ‘Zafferano’ (chilled tomato and cucumber soup)” (CHF 15.00), […]
Average, but swift business lunch option: Restaurant Brasserie Da Matteo (7. July 2023)
Honestly, the Brasserie Da Matteo is a place I would not necessarily have chosen when walking by, but sincce it was conveniently close, I figured, why not, and went for the lunch menu” (CHF 26.00), which turned out to be not that bad. The “salade de calamars” was good in terms of texture of the […]
