A lovely lunch experience on a Sunday: Restaurant Oechsle (29. October 2023)
It isn’t easy to find a good restaurant, which is open on a Sunday for lunch, but the Oechsle is exactly that. Good and open on Sundays for lunch. I went for the “char (cucumber herb cream, tomato compote, marinated radishes, wasabi mayonnaise)” (EUR 16.50), which turned out to be quite exquisite in terms of […]
A delicious 1-Michelin-star lunch experience worth trying when in Hamburg: Restaurant Jellyfish (28. October 2023)
The Jellyfish was recommended by a friend of mine, and it has been on my ‘to try’ list for quite a while, but somehow I never managed. Finally, it was time to give it a try for lunch and once you’ve ordered your menu, you get a bit of “bread with wild garlic butter” in […]
A superb lunch experience for a business day break: Restaurant Baur’s (27. October 2023)
The Baur’s is kind of one of my new favourites, as they really serve super tasty dishes, provide great service, and have a super stylish atmosphere. The menu today consisted of the “lentil salad” (CHF 10.00), which was not only quite a portion in terms of size, but was also absolutely delicious in terms of […]
Always a great vegetarian option for dinner: Neue Taverne (26. October 2023)
I keep coming back to the Neue Taverne or a give or take regular basis – as it really turns out to be one of my more preferred vegetarian places in Zurich, as they are really non-pretentious about it. We went for the “sourdough bread from the Eigenbrötler, dip” (CHF 7.50) and the “couscous, bell […]
The second time is the charm: Restaurant Le Lyrique (26. October 2023)
Last time I was at Le Lyrique, it was raining cats and dogs, and I was soaking wet. This time, luckily, it only rained a little, which made the whole experience much more pleasant. As a starter, I went for the “pumpkin carpaccio with curry and ginger with flute Gruyère cheese” (CHF 18.00), and while […]
Quite a decent place for dinner, but a bit on the pricier side: Restaurant The Foundry (25. October 2023)
If you want to treat yourself with a nice meal after a rough day, then The Foundry is pretty much the perfect place. Maybe with the side comment that the background music is rather loud, so it isn’t entirely optimal to have longer phone calls. Other than that, the place is lovely in terms of […]
A great place with delicious dishes for business lunch: Restaurant Carlton (24. October 2023)
The Carlton remains a nice place to enjoy a quick business lunch. The menu of the day included a “pumpkin cream soup”, which was a great and generous starter. On top of the actually decent size for a starter, it also turned out to be quite delicious in terms of flavour. As a main, I […]
Still a nice bar, but not at the peak of its performance anymore: Raygrodski Bar (23. October 2023)
About once every one to two years I’m returning to the Raygrodski, as it remains a simple, but nice place, which offers good drinks, and is open on a Monday evening. Firstly, I went for the “Mastix (mastisha, tropical vermouth, cucumber, sparkling wine)” (CHF 17.00), which was nice, but somehow I was missing a bit […]
