A true institution in Zurich with the traditional twist you’ll love: Restaurant Kronenhalle (21. December 2019)
It’s approximately 5 years ago since I’ve last been to the Kronenhalle and it remains a great restaurant with a lot of history. Of course, it is a bit heavy in terms of prices and it is very traditional in terms of interior design, decoration, and the way the waiters are dressed. But everything works […]
The Swiss version of a tapas concept: Restaurant Genuss Manufaktur Neubad (19. December 2019)
So far I have only visited the Genuss Manufaktur Neubad for lunch and finally it was time to pay the place a visit for dinner. The concept is quite lovely overall as you basically have the idea of ordering a couple of small dishes and then share them. Which – obviously – doesn’t work for […]
Absolutely perfect lunch offering: Wirtschaft Zur alten Post (19. December 2019)
The Restaurant Wirtschaft zur alten Post is definitely a place I can still recommend as the food is absolutely delicious and keeps being so. They offer a decent lunch menu for a fair price. I went for a “saffron fennel foam soup with lime oil” (CHF 5.80 as the menu soup) which was not only […]
Delicious 1 Michelin star dinner with exquisite service: Gourmetrestaurant OLIVO (17. December 2019)
Given I had an evening in Stuttgart to spend, I decided to try one of the Michelin-starred restaurants. I actually tried getting a table at a variety of restaurants but it turned out that most of them were booked out which was a bit surprising to me for a Tuesday evening in the week before […]
Perfect understanding of how a business lunch works: Restaurant Bodega Prado (17. December 2019)
What I like about the Bodega Prado is the fact that they have really understood the concept of ‘business lunch’. For less than CHF 30.00 you get a starter, a main course, as well as a 0.5l water which is really quite amazing. And on top of that, it’s not just a simple “starter salad” […]
Great cheese fondue in a lovely atmosphere: Fondue-Chalet @ Weihnachtsdorf Bellevue (15. December 2019)
The Fondue-Chalet in the Weihnachtsdorf Bellevue is actually quite lovely and much more than what they offer at the Illuminarium at the Landesmuseum. The place works well in terms of organisation and within a few minutes, you’re seated. The good thing is that the tables aren’t that full as they are in the Illuminarium so […]
Great for a swift Italian lunch: Restaurant Sagrantino (13. December 2019)
The Sagrantino is located quite centrally when you’re close to Friedrichstrasse and is basically a small Italian restaurant which offers quite a decent Italian lunch menu (EUR 9.90) which started with a “mixed salad” which was quite enjoyable. Secondly, they served “gnocchi” as a main course which were plenty in terms of amount and good […]
Good dishes but incompetent service staff: Restaurant MASI Wine Bar (12. December 2019)
While the dishes at the MASI wine bar are definitely good, even enjoyable, the service is really not up to the task! Admittedly, the place was rather full when we arrived and we got what seemed to be the last available table with high chairs. Now, not an easy setting but also not impossible to […]
