A place for steaks, but nothing, which blows your mind: Restaurant King’s Cave (22. May 2025)
It’s a good decade ago since I’ve last been to the King’s Cave and I figured it is time to give it another try and frankly, I wasn’t as excited as I was 10 years ago. The “black angus beef entrecôte from Ireland (300gr)” (CHF 62.00) with “Züri Frites” (CHF 7.00) was quite okay, but […]
Good place to have a swift business lunch: Restaurant Loft Five (15. May 2025)
It’s a while ago since I’ve last been to the Loft Five for a quick lunch, but it turns out that it is actually quite enjoyable. I went for the “beef steak with café de Paris sauce, beans, roasted potatoes, a soup, and a salad” (CHF 38.00), which was served within a few minutes after […]
Very traditionally French – with very small tables: Restaurant Franzos (4. May 2025)
Frankly, the restaurant Franzos is – as the name suggests – very French. The staff is friendly, but not overly attentive, the place is tiny, and the tables are even tinier, which is really annoying if you are three people to sit down and have brunch. Other than that, the “petit déj’complet (croissant, baguette, paysan […]
A place full of tradition with overall decent food: Restaurant Gran Sasso (30. April 2025)
It is more than a decade ago since I’ve last paid the Gran Sasso a visit – so, it was more than overdue to come here again. Upfront, the place isn’t really cheap when it comes to the prices, but it serves quite good food, so, I might come back here again a bit earlier […]
A great place for meat lovers – go for Le Grand Plat: Restaurant AuGust (29. April 2025)
The AuGust is a place I kept a positive memory of, so, I was happy to pay that place another visit and given it’s known for meat, we decided to go with a “beef tatar” (CHF 39.00) as a starter and I must admit, it was actually quite enjoyable. Including the fact that they served […]
A nice bar with a good drinks offering and swift service: Brick Bar (23. April 2025)
It’s years ago since I’ve last paid this place a visit! And I must say, this is a place you can frequent more often – the cocktail (CHF 17.00) was absolutely enjoyable and you would be inclined to go for a second one. The place isn’t huge, so, if you want to go with a […]
A nice place for a work-related evening with a larger group: Osteria Santo Bevitore (23. April 2025)
It is a bit ago since I’ve last been to the Osteria Santo Bevitore and back then it was in the context of a work event – and this was the case this time as well. I decided to go for what they said was a recommendation of the house, the “tagliatella ‘Bologna monamour’ (with […]
Not a good place for gluten-intolerant people: Tankbierbar Europaallee (22. April 2025)
The Tankbierbar is not really a place I would usually frequent, but given it was kind of close, and it felt like an ideal place to grab something small, I figured to give it a try, and it was actually quite nice in terms of location – I mean, nothing amazing or anything, but definitely […]
