A decent option for lunch – somehow Mexican cuisine, but not really: Restaurant Cartell (22. April 2026)
I hadn’t been here in a while, but given it was located conveniently close to where I had spent the morning, I figured this might be a good option. I had ordered “tacos chile colorado (4 pieces) (tacos with juicy, slow cooked pork with an intense Mexican Adobo from guajillo, pasilla and chile de árbol […]
Not only great in general, but with an interesting tasting menu: Restaurant BaoBae (21. April 2026)
Although I have been here a few times, I hadn’t tried the “The BaoBae Tasting Journey (our chef-curated tasting menu with 9 courses – a playful progression through modern Chinese flavors)” (CHF 88.00) so far, so, I was quite curious what I would have to expect. On top of that, I found the price quite […]
When you’re actively asked to leave the restaurant (due to their afternoon break): Restaurant The Old Inn (21. April 2026)
I have been to The Old Inn quite a few time and frankly, I always kind of liked the place. However, in all honesty, I was not enitrely happy this time. Admittedly, we had booked a table for a relatively late lunch (i.e., 1pm CET), but we weren’t given any warning upfront that the restaurant […]
Quite hidden, but actually fine for lunch: Restaurant Choupette – presque une brasserie (20. April 2026)
I had only been here once about two years back and back then for dinner, so, I didn’t really have this place on my radar for lunch, but turns out that it works quite well for lunch too. I went for the “asparagus cream soup with pretzel croutons and wild garlic oil” as a starter […]
When you visit a restaurant a decade later again: Restaurant Kimchi Princess (19. April 2026)
When I did my regular check-in I always do at restaurants, I was ‘shown’ that I had been here back in May 2016, which was quite a surprise since I really couldn’t remember that. Once I checked it (see here), I remembered that I had been to this place and with whom. Funny enough, the […]
Absolutely delicious food – but the service isn’t on top of things: Restaurant Fleischerei (18. April 2026)
The restaurant operates exactly as the name promises – it has a strong focus on meat! Hence, it was time to try some meat dishes and I started with the “beef croquettes, celery, port shallots” (EUR 12.00), which were – truly – tasty. Especially the shallots worked very well together with the croquettes! As a […]
The owners really make the difference here: Restaurant Da Piada (18. April 2026)
Alvarro and his wife really make a difference here. They are friendly, attentive, and really make sure that you’re taken care of. So, if you’re in for a bit of unforgettable ‘truly Italian experience’, then the Da Piada is a good choice. We had the “vitello tonnato” (EUR 12.50), which was quite fine … … […]
Quite decent tacos, but what is it with the pineapple? Restaurant Xolo @ The Playce (18. April 2026)
It was rather late (around 2pm) for a regular lunch, so, it was good to get into a food hall to grab something there. I was personally surprised how full the place still was given the time. That being said, I ordered some “tacos al pastor (grilled pork marinated in orange juice, achiote, guajillo chilli […]
