The mercado is the perfect place to try some pintxos – not the Vermuteka, though: Restaurant Vermuteka @ Mercado de la Ribera (9. May 2026)
When you’re in Bilbao you definitely have to try pintxos as they are really like the local tapas everyone is going for. And there is no more ideal place than the Mercado de la Ribera as it offers a bunch of different food stalls, which allow you to pick and chose. We ended up in […]
A Michelin-starred restaurant which serves as the training place for the Azurmendi: Restaurant ENEKO (8. May 2026)
Apparently, the ENEKO is the sister restaurant of the Azurmendi (3 Michelin stars) where the staff for the Azurmendi is educated and taught their ways. Hence, I was curious what I was to expect and was looking forward to an evening full of exciting flavors. We decided to go for the “Tasting Menu” (EUR 96.00) […]
Located in the city outskirts with a very small menu: Restaurant et cetera (6. May 2026)
When I booked the place, I wasn’t quite aware of how far out from the city centre the place is, hence, it took me a while to get there. Once I’ve arrived, we decided to for the “sourdough bread with whipped butter” (CHF 9.00), which was nice as the bread was good and so was […]
A good alternative for a business lunch with no bankers around: Restaurant Glogge Egge & Bar @ Glockenhof (6. May 2026)
I had walked by this place a number of times, but somehow never went in, so, I figured, it’s time to book a table here, which I did – and that’s something I would highly recommend since the place is full for lunch (admittedly, we were the youngest by far, but it’s rather full). I […]
When the main character in your udon noodles is weak – no-taste broth: Restaurant Shokudo Izakaya (5. May 2026)
I got the recommendation for this place from the Gault Millau, so, I was rather curious how it would be and had relatively high hopes. What I was definitely surprised by is the fact that the place was basically empty when I walked in and that there was only one guy running the place, which […]
A great find for a swift and tasty business lunch: Restaurant Weisses Rössli (5. May 2026)
It’s years ago since I’ve last been to the Weisses Rössli as it is not really located all too conveniently and it’s definitely not booked out for lunch, but they are actually offering surprisingly delicious dishes and have friendly and attentive staff. Once you’re seated and have placed your order, you’re brought some “bread and […]
Superbly friendly staff and decent Swiss dishes: Restaurant Werdguet (4. May 2026)
Whenever I play cards with my friends from the army, we end up in the Werdguet, which is really a decent option to get some Swiss dishes like the “salad with garlic sauce”, which is good since the sauce is tasty and there are quite a few ingredients making it a tasty dish. Of course, […]
Amazing service, amazing view, great dishes – but not easy to reach: Restaurant Cremnos (3. May 2026)
Did you know that there are hotels with a “Michelin key”, i.e., something like a Michelin star, but for hotels? Well, I didn’t and just learned about this (apparently since 2024). And the ACRO Suites has a Michelin key and the Restaurant Cremnos is their restaurant. So, the restaurant doesn’t have a Michelin star, but […]
