Bangkok – The Sukothai for me –
is one of the best hotels I have ever been for service, style, food. Already in
2010, the restaurant Celadon presented its menu on iPads with text and of course
beautiful pictures. The food and service was excellent and prices high but ok for
what you get. The setting of the restaurant is very romantic on a little island.

Torino – Very authentic and homely restaurant located in a dark street in the outskirts of Torino. Really sensational food, only locals. The food is simple but very good and you feel like at home at „mamma’s“ table. Toilet is outside in the patio.

Canale – This restaurant was recommended to me from a friend and it was really worth going the way out to Canale, a little town about 30 mins from Torino. The food is delicious Italian elegant dining. The restaurant is not easy to find, look out for something like “Enoteca”.
Zurich – Last Wednesday I went to Bü’s restaurant with a friend. I haven’t been there since years but always remembered the delicious calf’s liver (only on Tuesdays). The interior of the restaurant is a mix of bistro-Italian-cosy-elegant style. People are mostly over their 40ties. The service is very nice and attentive, legendary are the shirts of the owner…you must see yourself. The Bü’s is very popular and you need to book a table in advance except you are an Egyptian real estate investor in Andermatt you get a table immediately…Prices are moderate to high for what you get in quality and the food quite good. I need to go back for the liver on a Tuesday though.
Zurich – Some weeks ago we discovered a restaurant as we were walking toward Le Cèdre. It looked so nice and lively I knew I must go there. So we enjoyed a real nice Italian, Sicilian dinner. The food, especially the home made pasta was excellent. Only to mention was my fish that had a lot of fish bones. The restaurant could also be one in Italy where you go with your whole family and enjoy and just sit there, equal is the acoustic level inside. Id like to mention specially the waiter that explained every single meal and made our mouth watering before we even saw the food in front of us!
Wädenswil – A friend of mine grew up in Thailand and came to Switzerland with about 20 years. Today she has her own take away and Asian food store in Wädenswil. She also does catering and cooking classes. I have never eaten better Thai food as at her home and I tried to learn from her in her cooking class….the only thing I can do quite properly now are the satay skewers (see recipe below).
Zurich – My favourite Thai restaurant in Zurich is the Keo Inn as the food is very authentic and service very nice and attentive. They even have the marinated chicken in pandanus leaves, one of my preferred. The Keo Inn is open 365 days a year and the atmosphere very relaxed and you feel comfortable in a suit directly after work or in a casual dress.
Buenos Aires – Good Peruvian kitchen in Buenos Aires. Very laid back atmosphere with tables inside or outside. A very good pisco sour and good wines, for example „Weinert“ from Mendoza www.bodegaweinert.com that I have visited 2006 with their Swiss sommelier.
