The perfect date spot, if you were to go on a date: Restaurant Café Lotti (28. September 2024)
When I had booked the Café Lotti, my friend was a bit surprised since – and I wasn’t aware of it – it was a bit of a date spot apparently (at least he mentioned that he has been here with his girlfriend) and once I had entered the place, it became clear to me […]
A lovely place for a few drinks in the evening – booking necessary: Restaurant George Bar & Grill (26. September 2024)
It’s more than a year ago since I’ve last been to the George – and I must say it remains a good place for drinks (and probably also for dinner, still). We had prebooked a table since we were a larger group, so, I was quite surprised that I had received my drink within no […]
Fine to have breakfast here if you stay at the hotel – else, not recommended: Restaurant Bolero @ Cascada Boutique Hotel (26. September 2024)
The brekfast selection at the Bolero in the Cascada Boutique Hotel is relatively average, but you find evertying you need. It ranges from cold cuts, jams, vegetables to pre-cut fruit … … the mandatory tea and coffee station … … as well as a few hot dishes, cheese, and sweets … … and of course […]
Returning to the same restaurant after 14 years, and they have grown: Restaurant Stiefels Hopfenkranz (25. September 2024)
I’ve last been to the Stiefels Hopfenkranz back in 2010, so, I do admit I was quite surprised that the place still exists. However, I was also happy to see that and decided to go for the “5 Akte Tasting Menu” (CHF 139.00), which started with a few amuse bouches, which already got your palate […]
A great lunch experience and supporting a good cause (creating jobs for people with disabilities): Restaurant Krone Altstetten (25. September 2024)
Although more than a year ago since I’ve last been here, I like returning to the Krone Altstetten because they have a lovely concept. The place is rather old in terms of interior design, meaning they have repurposed an old house into a restaurant, which makes it lovely in terms of interior. On top of […]
Quite a nice new option in town – with a very French touch: Restaurant Lulu (23. September 2024)
The Lulu only just opened a week ago, so, it was nice to try this place. Formerly, it used to be the Belcanto, but somehow this place never took off. I’m curious to see if it will now, or still not. The place is rather traditional in terms of interior design and definitely reminds you […]
Good ice cream, but only if you’re patient to get it: Gelateria di Berna (22. September 2024)
Although I have heard about the Gelateria di Berna so many times, I was always a bit uneasy to spend hours in a queue just for a bowl of ice cream. Given there wasn’t really a queue that day, I seized the opportunity and went for a small bowl of “caramel fleur de sel” and […]
The perfect place to celebrate an occasion like a birthday: Restaurant Zunfthaus zur Waag (20. September 2024)
It’s approximately 2 years ago since I’ve last been to the Zunfthaus zur Waag, so, it was time to visit again. As a starter, I went for the “tomato soup with gin” (CHF 12.00), which was decent but felt a bit small for the price. Still, a good start for a decent lunch. Since the […]
