Swift service, heavy cordon bleu: Restaurant Farnsburg (27. July 2018)
The “veal cordon bleu Farnsburg with ham, cheese and porcini” (CHF 37.50) is quite a portion. It is long and quite heavy but also delicious. Most restaurants which serve cordon bleus put only a tiny bit of cheese in it. The Farnsburg on the other hand is quite generous with it making sure it is […]
Entrecôte Café de Paris – delicious as always: Restaurant La Côte (26. July 2018)
I keep coming back to this place for a good 15 years. And they still serve the same weird starter of “eggplant in vinegar”. It isn’t bad but it isn’t good really either. However, it’s just part of dining in La Côte! Why you come here is ultimately not the eggplant but the “Entrecôte Café […]
Super swift service and decent food for a good price: Restaurant Farnsburg (26. July 2018)
The Farnsburg has kind of turned into my favourite restaurant in Liestal. And that is mainly for one reason: Quick service over lunch, decent dishes, and ultimately more than fair pricing. You get a “menu salad” … … and the pizza you want (here: “Pizza Volcano whit extra anchovies”) for a mere CHF 19.50. And […]
Good food, nice atmopshere, good service: Restaurant du Théâtre (24. July 2018)
I suppose whenever I end up in Du Théâtre, I keep kind of going on a Du Théatre spree. So, it was time again for a good “menu salad” followed by … … the “Lomi-Lomi salmon (marinaded salmon, tomatoes, cucumber, coriander, macadamia)” (CHF 36.00) which was quite good. I have had better salmon but the […]
Quick lunch but no atmosphere: Restaurant Schwyzerhüsli (23. July 2018)
Sometimes you really just have to get something into your system and be quick about it. The restaurant Schwyzerhüsli looked like such a place. There were only a couple of locals drinking beer so I figured, this must be quick and simple food. And I went for the “fitness plate (chicken with salad)” (CHF 21.50) […]
Lovely atmosphere covered by trees when it rains: Restaurant Oberer Mönchhof (22. July 2018)
It is quite some time ago since I have been to this place – especially since it isn’t exactly on my ‘way’. The “home-made veal ravioli with jus and Parmesan” (CHF 26.00) are a very good and delicious starter. However, paying CHF 12.00 per ravioli seems like a bit of an exaggeration to me. The […]
Decent hotel breakfast for an amazing price: Reck’s Hotel-Restaurant (22. July 2018)
The breakfast selection (and you only pay EUR 5.00) for the breakfast is limited but prepared with care. You find a lot of typical German ‘dishes’ which are quite heavily meat based. But there is also more to it like cold cuts, cheeses, and vegetables. A small selection of different breads is available … … […]
Lovely atmosphere, very caring personnel: Reck’s Hotel-Restaurant (21. July 2018)
I am a huge fan of Starwood and its hotels as they come with certain perks. However, in Salem there is no Starwood hotel (obviously!). So, I decided to go for the place which is ranked highest on TripAdvisor which was the Hotel Reck’s. And I must admit that it is quite a lovely place. […]
