The first lunch in 2026 – and quite a pleasant one: Restaurant Quelli De’ Coronari (1. January 2026)
Finding a place, which is open for lunch on January 1st isn’t as easy as one would assume, but luckily, the “Quelli de’ Coronari” was open and still had space. They open at noon sharp, and we were the first guests to enter, so, free to pick whatever table we wanted and within no time, we had received the menu. It took a while then to place our order, but after a short waiting period, we were finally able to do so. I went for the “tonnarelli alla gricia (spaghetti with bacon, pepper, pecorino cheese, yellow cherry tomatoes)” (EUR 18.00), which were absolutely delicious. The pasta was perfectly cooked al dente and the topping was exquisite.
The “puntarelle con alici (puntarelle with anchovies)” (EUR 12.00), which I had chosen as a side dish, were lovely too. Sure, this is not for everyone, but if you enjoy strong and intense flavors, then the puntarelle are definitely something you should try.
The place is small and simple in terms of interior design, but still prepared in a somewhat appealing way. That being said, the staff is friendly and generally attentive, but they are not the quickest, so, you have to make sure you have time at hand.

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.
