On the Guide Michelin list, but frankly, rather average food: Restaurant RAS (20. July 2024)
The RAS is part of the Guide Michelin, so, I decided to give it a try. And frankly, the location is rather nice – definitely nothing to complain about, since you are seated close to the river, and it’s overall quite lovely. The staff is friendly and attentive, and your beverages are served in no time. I decided to go for the “crispy baby calamari, tartare sauce” (EUR 15.90) and while I loved the batter, it was definitely also rather on the crispy side of things, which was almost a little bit too crispy. But, to be fair, it was nice and crunchy and good with the sauce tartare.
As a main, I went for the “linguine pasta, broccolini & basil pesto, pecorino” (EUR 29.00), which was much better than I had expected, as the pasta was nicely al dente, which I hadn’t expected. The sauce was good, but not necessarily very Italian, but overall okay.
All in all, the RAS was quite decent, as an overall experience, but nothing I would necessarily do again. In the end, the food was too average.

About the Author: Sven
I started the blog in October 2009, while living in Milan which I definitely consider to be one of the food capitals of the world. I was in touch with food since my early childhood (as my father is a former chef). Whenever I can, I travel the world to discover new places, to meet people but mostly to try local dishes and to find hidden gems! If you know a place worth going, please drop a line to: info@thediningexperience.org.
Currently, I am a member of the following food-related associations: Chevalier @Chaîne des Rôtisseurs Zurich-Ville; Membre Gourmet Dégustateur @Ordre Mondial des Gourmets Dégustateurs [OMGD]; Gesellschafter @Goldener Fisch and Member @Slowfood Convivium Zurich City.
