If you’re looking for a swift business lunch with large portions, this is your place: Restaurant Metropol (22. January 2026)
I decided to go with something light in the form of a “Caesar salad with spicy marinated chicken filets” (CHF 32.00). Well, turns out it wasn’t all that light since it was a rather large portion. I think, it was one of the larger Caesar salads I have had in my life. And it was […]
An absolutely over-hyped place NOT worth visiting: Restaurant Gigi Trattoria (20. January 2026)
The Gigi Trattoria is apparently one of the in-spots in Munich. And I absolutely do NOT understand why. So, let’s be clear, when you walk in, the place is quite nice, it’s buzzing, something is going on. You’re received swiftly and friendly. So far, so good. Then you’re brought to your table, which you should […]
The “all you can eat shrimp Monday” you have to try: Restaurant Jacob (19. January 2026)
I had booked the Jacob just like that to have an option for dinner without any real research – mainly focusing on a place, which had a decent rating on Google. Once you arrive, you can see that the place exists for a while as it has a lot of people who definitely are from […]
Returning to find my favorite dish missing – but still enjoying the dinner: Restaurant BaoBae (17. January 2026)
We decided last minute to have dinner at the BaoBae given it was in the vicinity and had, luckily, a free spot for 2 hours. I started with a “Sichuan Basil (gin, distilled sichuan, Thai basil, black lime)” (CHF 19.00), which turned out to be good – and frankly, the little things on top of […]
A nice little place with interesting drink names: Amiamo Caffè (17. January 2026)
I have walked by this place a few times, but never quite managed to get in – today was the day. The place is relatively limited, so, it isn’t entirely easy to secure a spot, but if you finally find a spot, then you are presented quite an interesting drinks’ menu. Not because it’s very […]
A decent option for dinner in the context of a concert or event: Restaurant Rigiblick (16. January 2026)
If you’re attending an event at the Rigiblick theater, then you are given the option to have dinner there first for CHF 65.00 and pick your dishes from a pre-set menu. I went for the “pumpkin cream soup, caramelized seeds, pumpkin seed oil”, which was actually quite lovely, but a bit heavy on the ‘oil’. […]
Good for a swift business lunch – but expensive: Restaurant Bärengasse (16. January 2026)
It’s a good year ago since I’ve last been to the Bärengasse before, and then just four days ago. That being said, I figured I wanted to try something typical for the restaurant in the form of “Dieter Meier’s Roastbeef “Ojo de Agua” with sauce Béarnaise” (CHF 49.00). What they don’t tell you is the […]
New to Zurich – cuisine inspired by Mexican dishes – with fluctuating service quality: Restaurant & Bar Sinaloa (15. January 2026)
This is the third restaurant in this location since I’m in Zurich and somehow none of the previous ones were bad, but it seems like they do not survive here for more than 5 years. In any case, the Restaurant & Bar Sinaloa is relatively new to Zurich and offers a selection of dishes, which […]
