A speak easy, which has turned into a regular bar over the years: Bar Paradiso (11. October 2023)
It is a good seven years ago since I’ve last visited the Bar Paradiso and it has transferred from a proper speak easy to a ‘fake speak easy’, as there is a bouncer, a line, and you need to ‘sign-up’ via QR code for the whole experience. I mean, it kind of defies the purpose […]
Incredibly interesting cocktails in a walk-in bar: Mariposa Negra Cocktail Bar (11. October 2023)
The Mariposa Negra Cocktail Bar is a hidden gem, which is actually not so hidden. What I like about the place is that there is a no reservation policy – you basically go there and if you’re lucky you’ll score a place, and if you’re unlucky, you won’t. The place is a bit “dark” in […]
Another nice restaurant in the El Nacional area: Restaurant La Braseria @ El Nacional (11. October 2023)
The last time I was here was about three years ago, and by here I mean the El Nacional. There are a bunch of different restaurants, and this time I tried another one, the La Braseria. We decided to have something light and share a couple of plates, tapas style, for lunch. The first was […]
After the second try – try the beef shoyu: Restaurant Susuru (10. October 2023)
It doesn’t happen often that I return to a place where I have just been to recently, but the Susuru is positioned so conveniently close, and they offer great dishes, I decided to give it another try. This time to get a bit of a larger starter selection like the “homemade Japanese grilled beef gyoza […]
Nice little Thai place with decent food: Restaurant Baï-Toey (9. October 2023)
It wasn’t entirely easy to find a restaurant, which was still open at 9pm, but the Baï-Toey was still open, and located close to the hotel I was staying at. I went for the “Yam Nuea Yang (grilled beef salad with lemongrass)” (CHF 13.00) as a starter, and while it was tasty, and the beef […]
Decent if you’re staying here, but not worth the travel: Restaurant Moments @ Marriott Geneva (8. October 2023)
I have eaten at the Moments before, but always forgot to take pictures. Finally, it was time and I went for the “L’Oeuf Mollet” (CHF 21.00) to get started. It was a bit different than I had anticipated, but it was quite enjoyable. The breaded egg was definitely something interesting – and the sauce in […]
Lovely place to enjoy the view over Zurich with nice drinks: Clouds Bar (6. October 2023)
Some years have passed by since I’ve last visited the Clouds Bar. Given it was close to the pop-up I was at for dinner, it felt like the perfect place to have a last drink. I went for the “Angel Dust (Clouds Gin No. 9, Cognac, Gingerbread, Mint, Peychauds Bitters)” (CHF 21.00), which was rather […]
A delicious pop-up for meat lovers: Schnitzel- & Cordon Bleu-Pop-Up @ Restaurant Bistro k2 (6. October 2023)
I have been to the k2 Bistro in the past, but I wasn’t aware they do a Cordon Bleu and schnitzel pop-up once in a while. And the good thing is, it’s not even in the main restaurant but really in the part behind in the Maag Halle, which is quite spacious and, hence, creates […]
