An unpleasant surprise – salad with paper: Restaurant terrasse (10. July 2017)
I frankly thought that the bargain at the Restaurant terrasse for lunch was quite fine. The “leaf salad with avocado and a citrus dressing” (CHF 6.00) looked fine at first – I mean, not entirely fresh in terms of the leaves but …
… latest when you find a piece of paper in your salad things are unpleasant! Can’t really be that this happens! Of course the waiter apologized and brought me a new salad … but it just leaves an impression.
The “risotto al pomodoro con chorizo”(CHF 24.00) on the other hand was quite tasty – grainy and creamy at the same time and the flavours were intense and pleasurable. In terms of portion, it was a bit small but still absolutely fine.
While he wanted to offer us a coffee, we didn’t really have time given we were a bit later than originally planned so he took a bottle of water off the bill – at least. So, I’m a bit biased what to say. I mean, of course things like that can happen as there are all humans in the kitchen but frankly, they shouldn’t. Given – ignoring the paper – the food was quite decent, I’m happy to give the terrasse another try another day but for the time being, not a big fan. Last time they charged too much, this time, there’s paper in my salad. Let’s see what happens next time!

I started the blog in October 2009, while living in Milan which I definitely consider to be one of the food capitals of the world. I was in touch with food since my early childhood (as my father is a former chef). Whenever I can, I travel the world to discover new places, to meet people but mostly to try local dishes and to find hidden gems! If you know a place worth going, please drop a line to: info@thediningexperience.org.
