10. February 2013: Basilica Bar
I always considered the place a bit shabby when driving by but I must say, it is actually pretty okay. The interior is divided in two parts – the non-smoking (which is basically empty at all times) and the smoking part. The place itself is nice, nothing special but nice. The drinks are quite okay (Mojito CHF 15.00) and payable.
The Basilica Bar is one of the few places where you can smoke a shisha (CHF 20.00) in Zurich. What is definitely below average is the service – I mean they are absolutely friendly, no question about that. But they are unattentive as a stone laying in the garden waiting for it to be moved somewhere. Really, I have very seldomly ever experienced such unattentive people like the waiters/ waitresses there. Still, besides that, the place is quite okay.

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.
