12. November 2011: Restaurant nooba
The “Beef Fried Rice” (CHF 30.50) with beef filet strips, fried drice, spicy basil, bamboo, hearts of palm, black-eyed peas, onions, and chili is astonishingly rich in taste. While I was expecting a rather boring dish, I must admit that the fried rice was very tasty, the beef filet was absolutely tender and of good quality, and the combination of hearts of palm, black-eyed peas, and the spicy basil made the dish perfectly round.
The price is a bit high though for the fact that about 90% of the dish consists of rather cheap ingredients – something like 25 CHF would be more appropriate. The atmosphere of the place is okay. There are long tables where you can place about 8 to 10 people which is a bit too much in my opinion as there is a lack of privacy if the place is crowded. It was not when we were there, so it was okay. The service is quite friendly and also rather quick. Nothing to complain about there.
Overall, the Restaurant nooba offers quite tasty dishes in an acceptable atmosphere, with decent service, for slightly too high prices. Still, I can recommend going there if you’re around that area.

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.
Currently, I am a member of the following food-related associations: Chevalier @Chaîne des Rôtisseurs Zurich-Ville; Membre Gourmet Dégustateur @Ordre Mondial des Gourmets Dégustateurs [OMGD]; Gesellschafter @Goldener Fisch and Member @Slowfood Convivium Zurich City.
