Tasty noodles, but a bit too oily for my gusto: Restaurant Noodle King (26. February 2026)
Given I felt like eating something quickly, I tried to spot a noodle / ramen place I haven’t tried before and found the Noodle King. The place is rather simple, as it really focuses on getting these dishes out. The interior is definitely superbly basic, but the food is prepared quite quickly, and I must […]
If you are a meat lover, this place is always a safe bet: Restaurant AuGust (25. February 2026)
Frankly, if you’re craving a good selection of different meats including sausages, then the AuGust is always a safe bet. We decided to share a few “Wiedikerli” (CHF 18.00) together as a starter, and I must admit that they were actually absolutely great. I mean, sure, it’s a regular sausage, but if you’ve never tried […]
A tasty and swift option for a business lunch: Restaurant Co Chin Chin Brasserie (25. February 2026)
I’ve been here a few months back, and I figured it’s a good moment to give it another try. This time, I went for the “Heo Quay (crispy pork belly with Bahn Hoi rice noodles and fresh herbs)” (CHF 29.50), which was good overall, but not what I had expected. Somehow, I hadn’t expected this […]
Peruvian cuisine with friendly and jovial service: Restaurant Nasca (24. February 2026)
This place had been recommended to me years ago, and finally I was able to give it a try. As a starter, I went for the “ceviche tradicional (fish of the day with glaced sweet potato, leche de tigre, and cancha (fried corn))” (EUR 20.90), which wasn’t a big portion, so, for German standards, the […]
A delicious option for ramen with a great price performance rating: Restaurant Slurp Nudelbar Bahnhof (23. February 2026)
Since I’ve already tried their other joint earlier, I figured that given this place a try wouldn’t be so bad. The place is also superbly small, so, finding a spot isn’t an easy thing. However, it’s slightly larger than the first one I visited and I found a spae immediately. I decided to go for […]
An authentic Mexican food experience in Europe: Restaurant Jiribilla (22. February 2026)
I am always very curious when a restaurant offers Mexican food outside of Mexico because – unfortunately – it’s very often not authentic, so, I didn’t have any expectations. I was welcomed in a friendly manner and seated swiftly – the waiter was a young and jovial guy who explained the concept to me. So, […]
When each dish looks like a piece of art – and tastes even better: Restaurant Cocina Hermanos Torres (21. February 2026)
The Cocina Hermanos Torres was on my to do list for quite a while already (since it’s No. 78 on The World’s 50 Best), and I had booked the place in the past already, but then somehow didn’t manage to make it. This time was the time to finally give it a try. The entrance […]
An excellent lunch option with a few surprising dishes: Restaurant Xavier Pellicer (21. February 2026)
Usually, the whole table has to go with the same menu, which I always find a little bit annoying (while I do, of course, understand why the kitchen prefers it that way). Luckily, this wasn’t the cae at the Xavier Pellicer and you could order different menus at the same time – the only condition […]
