Zurich – A wonderful Italian restaurant in the heart of Wiedikon. That was the place I discovered the best meat of Switzerland from Heinzer in Muotathal. The restaurant is quite small, so you better make a reservation. They serve fresh seasonal pasta every day including pasta al tartufo nero with black truffles. In summer, there are also some tables on the troittoir.
Punta Arenas – “Not to eat a good kingcrab plate is as not going by Punta Arenas. Enjoy the specialty of the house, the shellfish and all type of national and international foods, accompanied by a good Chilean wine.” This is written on the homepage of Solitos and it simply true. They have really the best kingcrab I ever had in about 10 different cooking variations. If you ever happen to be at the end of the world – bottom of Chile – you need to visit this restaurant.
Zermatt – In the last three winter seasons we never managed to get a table at Giuseppes. We were luckier with out trekking group two weeks ago. From the outside the building looks unimpressive and also the furniture inside must have seen many guests already but what you get inside food wise is great. Giuseppe is an institution in Zermatt. My recommendation is you take the menu “Mier isch glich” or in English “I don’t care” for 65 CHF. If you are not picky you will not be disappointed in quality and quantity of food. The wine list is good as well – ask for Giuseppes recommendation.

Lucerne – When I was in Lucerne last week I went for lunch with a friend. The bistro has a great location, directly at the lake, near the world famous KKL concert hall (by Jean Nouvel) and the main station of Lucerne. The Luz is an old landing dock that was rebuilt into a restaurant and bar. The food is simple, traditional with fair prices. In summer you can enjoy the sun on the terrace and watch the steamboats and ships landing at the docks or feed the swans and ducks.

Ponte Brolla – This is one of the very old grotti in Ticino that was on the passage of many travellers since 400 years ago with direction Genova to the big ships leaving for “America”. The menu is small but … Continue reading
Ufenau – After having visited several restaurants around the lake, I have to declare that the restaurant on the little island Ufenau serves the best “Fischknusperli” – small pieces of fish (from the lake of Zurich) fried in a pastry. The restaurant and the whole island belong to the convent of Einsiedeln (http://www.kloster-einsiedeln.ch/) and its history dates back to the year 965 AD. You can reach the island only by boat either with the public transport boats from Lachen, Zurich or Rapperswil or with a private boat. The restaurant itself is very simple and self service but really good value for the money.
