Tasty udon noodle soup for a swift business lunch: Restaurant Edomae (5. February 2024)
While the restaurant exists for quite a while, I never quite realised that it was there – and it is definitely worth trying for lunch. I went for the “beef stripes udon noodles” (CHF 28.00), which come with a few side elements. What is great is the speed of service – they have really focussed […]
When you visit a pop-up, which doesn’t exist anymore – and have a splendid evening: Restaurant Kokoro (2. February 2024)
Back in October last year, when I had booked a table for the pop-up restaurant ‘Ichi Geki’, I was already surprised that you could book a pop-up for like more than 3 months in advance. But, firstly, there are such pop-ups, secondly, I had gotten a reminder text from the system 48 hours before the […]
A nice place, but somehow a little bit overpriced: Restaurant Brasserie Süd (1. February 2023)
Somehow it seems like the Brasserie Süd exists for a while. Personally, I wasn’t really aware of the location and was, hence, quite curious to try it. To start, we went for the “light sourdough bread from the Collective Bakery with salted mountain butter” (CHF 6.00), which was nice, but which it also should be […]
A place with potential, but non-coordinated service right now: Restaurant AN (1. February 2024)
The AN is also a newly opened restaurant, I wanted to try. Hence, lunch seemed like the perfect option to do exactly that. While the interior design is nice, you can see that the place has only just opened because they are not really well-coordinated internally yet. The times between things just take too long. […]
All in all a nice experience, but it feels a bit like it wants too much: Restaurant Choupette – presque une brasserie (31. January 2024)
I love being out of Zurich for a while, because it means that there will be new restaurants to discover once you’re back. And since this was the case, I figured I should visit all or at least most of the new restaurants in town. The “Choupette – presque une brasserie” is one of these […]
A safe bet for business lunch – independent of the day: Restaurant Enja (30. January 2024)
The restaurant Enja remains a safe bet for business lunches. Today, I went for the “beetroot lemon soup” (CHF 9.00), which was nicer than I had expected. I like the certain thickness a beetroot soup usually has, but the squeeze of lemon really added to that balance and made the soup even more enjoyable as […]
A delicious udon noodle experience to be repeated: Restaurant tsuru tsuru noodlebar (27. January 2024)
While I have been to the Sala of Tokyo (among other things, for an amazing ‘tuna event’ – see here), I haven’t had a chance to go to the tsuru tsuru noodlebar yet, but finally, this worked out as well. As a starter, I went for the “salted edamame” (CHF 9.00), which was quite nice, […]
Also surprisingly nice for some after work drinks: Gabbani Bar (25. January 2024)
Somehow, I’ve only ever been to the Gabbani for either dinner or a coffee during the day, and finally, I visited Gabbani for an evening drink and decided to go for a “Dark Night (lime juice, yuzu juice, spicy syrup, red beet infused tonic)” (CHF 15.00 on the menu, but CHF 14.50 on the bill), […]
