It’s 12 years ago since I’ve been to this location and service has deteriorated: Restaurant Schloss Maienfeld (19. December 2025)
About 12 years ago, I’ve last been to the Schloss Maienfeld, which was – back then – called Schloss Brandis. So, I was more than curious to visit this place again, under new management. We started with a selection of “cold cuts” (CHF 25.00) and cheese (CHF 21.00), which were both nice. Accompanied by pickled […]
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 […]
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 […]
The same procedure as (almost) every year: Fondue-Chalet Klosters Hüschi @ Wienachtsdorf beim Bellevue (29. November 2025)
Is it something fun? Yes. Is it way too crowded? Also, yes! But once you’ve made it into the Fondue-Chalet at the Wienachtsdorf beim Bellevue, things relax a little. I mean, sure, it’s still too busy, and there are still too many people, but if you manage to ignore that, you can get a few […]
They have definitely stepped up their cocktail and food game: Restaurant La Catedral Cócteles y Antojitos (25. November 2025)
It’s a bit more than two years ago and back then I found the food selection relatively disappointing, but luckily, that has changed. We decided to share a few dishes and went for the “pimientos de padrón (Pimientos de Padrón “Toreados” tossed with salsa negra with miso and black garlic)” (CHF 17.00), which were among […]
A decent breakfast selection, but nothing out of the ordinary: Restaurant L’Unico @ Kameha Grand Zurich (23. November 2025)
It’s years ago since I’ve had breakfast here, hence, I was not quite sure what to expect anymore. You can get your breakfast for CHF 39.00, which isn’t cheap, but still quite fair in terms of price for Zurich. They offer a bit of everything for breakfast ranging from jams and cereals … … to […]
Still a deserved Michelin star for a vegetarian restaurant: Restaurant KLE (22. November 2025)
It’s more than three years ago since I’ve last been to the KLE, so, I was quite curious what I would have to expect this time. The menu is basically a six course tasting meal (CHF 139.00), which you can enjoy with a wine pairing (CHF 90.00), which works quite well with the dishes, but […]
The most amazing cauliflower I’ve eaten in my life, and I hate cauliflower: Restaurant Bayts (21. November 2025)
I was looking for an interesting vegetarian option and stumbled upon the Bayts, which looked quite promising. They have a standardized “tasting menu” (CHF 89.00), which starts with a few bites of “cep, mushrooms, shiitake”, “beetroot, mustard, spelt”, and “buckwheat, kohlrabi, kalamansi”. You start on the left of the picture, and the little tartlet was […]
