Nice Middle Eastern flavors for decent prices (for Zurich): Restaurant NENI @ 25hours Hotel Langstrasse (11. December 2025)
Once you’re seated and have managed to get the attention of the waiter, you’re served some “labneh, olives, and bread” as a greeting from the kitchen – and I must admit, that it was surprisingly tasty. We then went for the “Levantine beef tartare (challah bread, coriander, dill, sour cream, caper popcorn)” (CHF 19.00), which […]
If you’re into meat, this place is quite great: Restaurant The ASH (9. December 2025)
We went for the “starter plate for two people (black tiger prawns, prime beef bites, beetroot falafel, pimentos de padrón, aioli, bread)” (EUR 19.90), which looked a bit small at first, but actually turned out not only to be enough to get started, but was also rather delicious all in all. Even better was the […]
Superbly friendly staff and decent food – but lacking on the veggie side: Restaurant The Jack’s House (8. December 2025)
I ended up being there quite a bit earlier than my actual lunch booking since I still had a call – and they were nice enough to already let me in by 10:50am, which was superbly generous, and lovely since it allowed me to get setup before the call. Once the call was done, I […]
Hyped and absolutely disappointing: Restaurant To The Bone (7. December 2025)
Just a huge wow! And not a positive one! This place is so hyped and definitely doesn’t deliver! But let me start from the beginning. You’re seated swiftly and they take your jackets. So, all in all, the beginning was okay. That being said, I felt the atmosphere wasn’t too appealing, but maybe that was […]
A close to perfect experience – with mistakes on the bill: Restaurant 893 Ryōtei (6. December 2025)
It’s a good 2.5 years ago since I’ve last been to the 893 Ryotei, and I was definitely looking forward to it again! This time, luckily, I got seated at the counter right in front of the head chef – which was fascinating observing him, how he would prepare (almost) every single dish in a […]
Delicious vegan ramen where you wouldn’t expect it: Restaurant Shisomen Vegan Ramen & Cocktails (6. December 2025)
I felt like I wanted to give cauliflower another try, so, I decided to go for the “Yasai Karaage (crispy tempura cauliflower, herb mayonnaise, vegan Parmesan, and fresh baby salad; light, aromatic, and simply delicious)” (EUR 6.50), which turned out to be surprisingly delicious. I mean, sure, it was not the superbly best dish of […]
A great experience in a former prison for women: Restaurant Lovis (5. December 2025)
The Lovis was on my to do list for quite a while already, so, it was about time to give it a try. We went for the “6-course tasting menu” (EUR 99.00) with the “wine pairing” (EUR 65.00), which started with a “brioche with mushroom cream and pickled red onions” and that sounded promising for […]
Decent dishes in a decent atmosphere with friendly service: Restaurant +84 Vegan Kitchen & Asian Deli (4. December 2025)
I don’t always find it easy to pick a dish, but the “delicious du du (fresh green papaya salad, carrots, bell pepper, Vietnamese herbs and peanuts, home-made dressing & sesame rice crackers)” (EUR 8.50) was kind of an obvious choice for me. The salad is refreshing and, overall, lovely in terms of flavor profile. The […]
