Delicious Middle Eastern inspired brunch option, which needs pre-booking: Restaurant Bebek (5. August 2023)
If you intend to have a brunch during the weekend at the Bebek, you necessarily need to book your table in advance, as else you won’t stand a chance to find a place last minute. Given I am more on the savoury side of things, even when it comes to breakfast, I went for the […]
Not sure, why it’s rated so high on Google – definitely not a place you need to revisit: Restaurant The Yard (4. August 2023)
Originally, the intention was to go to a pop-up, which was about to close shortly. However, given it started raining cats and dogs, we ended up finding a place, which still had availability around 8pm on a Friday evening, which turned out to be not remotely as easy as originally anticipated. Finally, we found The […]
Overall delicious food, but somehow lack in service and atmosphere: Restaurant Chicheria Cantina (2. August 2023)
This place was on my to try list for about 6 months, but somehow, every time I had a booking, my plans were changed last minute, so it took me a while to finally try it, and it’s worth trying. The concept is that you select a bunch of different dishes to share, which I […]
Quite decent lunch with friendly service, but not optimal location: Restaurant Nice Gastrobar @ Schanzengraben (2. August 2023)
I’ve passed the Nice Gastrobar a few times and was never quite intrigued to pay the place a visit. However, finally, I decided to try it and went for their “Caesar Salad” (CHF 16.00) with “chicken” (+ CHF 8.00), “bacon” (+ CHF 5.00) and “avocado” (+CHF 5.00), which actually turned out to be better than I […]
Sound European interpretation of Mexican food: Restaurant Cartell (28. July 2023)
It’s also a couple of years ago since I’ve last been to the Cartell – but I was looking forward to visiting it again, as I remember that the Mexican food was actually relatively decent. I went for the “tacos al pastor” (CHF 25.00), which were – obviously – not necessarily the way I remember […]
Amazing roast beef burger, but overpriced starter and sides: Restaurant PURO – The Social Club (26. July 2023)
Given it is in walking distance from my office and located quite centrally in Zurich, the PURO is a reliable go-to place. As a starter I went for the “gyoza @ teriyaki (Japanese dumplings, filled with edamame, carrots, spring leek, fried crisply and served with a teriyaki sauce and wakame)” (CHF 20.50) and while the […]
A place you need to visit if you’re into meat: Restaurant NapaGrill – Californian Fine Dining (25. July 2023)
It is a while ago since I’ve last visited the NapaGrill – Californian Fine Dining. I had good memories about the place, and I must say, these still hold true! Sure, you need to love meat, but if you do, this is actually a excellent place to visit! I went for the “organic pork belly […]
Absolutely delicious and swift business lunch offering: Restaurant Kaufleuten (25. July 2023)
Somehow, I haven’t been to the Kaufleuten in more than 10 years – not sure, why. But it is actually a place you can absolutely visit for a quick lunch. The selection of dishes is nice, they are served swiftly, and even the price performance element works. I went for a “leaf salad” as a […]
