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.

Eglisau – On a short trip to Germany we were looking for a good restaurant for lunch and found this wonderful and romantic place. It was a very hot day and we enjoyed the shade of the trees on the … Continue reading
Mallorca – In 2011 we celebrated our marriage at this magical place. We were looking for a location we could house all guests with optimized “good weather guarantee” and good food and wine. By browsing in the internet we found the Casal de Santa Eulàlia and put it on our favourites list with some other hotels and fincas. After an on-site inspection in Mallorca it was crystal clear that the Eulàlia was OUR location.
The staff is wonderfully friendly and one can see they work together like a family. As it is an old finca, the rural house is large opening and the rooms are all different; some with balcony some with terrace. The complex has different pools and even a tennis court.
Specially to mention is the kitchen: I have never had better pork meat than in the Eulàlia! The special pigs with black trotters (The meat is also known dried as “pata negra”) are feed with acorn. The Eulàlia has its own garden and grows a lot of vegetables, fruits and herbs for the kitchen.
It is just a wonderful place to relax, celebrate and as a starting point of countless excursions. Last time we have been there in 2012 and I can’t wait to return.
Zurich -With my girlfriends I met at Terrasse for an apero and dinner. The bar and restaurant is centrally located near Bellevue, what is also a reason we go there now and then. The special thing about the Terrasse though is not the food or drinks but the history that is in this building (Tages-Anzeiger). This beautiful complex was originally a grand hotel, then a café, a cabaret, a cinema and again a restaurant. My first memories are when we went watching Walt Disney films on Saturday afternoons with my siblings followed by a grilled sausage at the Sternen Grill.
Now back to the Terrasse: they serve decent food and the service is nice. As a side dish you can do plenty of people watching. The garden of the Terrasse is lovely in summer.

Lachen – Last Sunday we urged for a pizza after all the barbecuing. As we still wanted to sit by the water we went for Marina Lachen. You can also go by boat, they offer a few spaces. The service is very nice and the food is good. On a beautiful day you need to make a reservation. The same complex houses also an Asian restaurant and a steak house.
Zurich – I passed by this bar hundred times but never came round to go inside. Since I work now in the area and I went for lunch. Since then I went twice again because I liked it so much. The food is simple and good. Last week for example they offered “Wiedikerli” sausages from Keller Metzgerei as a menu for lunch – the one who know….know. The offer also a lot of beverages I haven’t seeen somewhere else, for example lemonade made of rhubarb. A great plus is obviously the comparatively big terrace with the look over the sihl.
In the evening and night it is a very nice little bar.
Zurich – In the new opened trendy area around the main station of Zurich (Europaallee) there is this great restaurant. It offers something for everyone and divided in different areas: Coffee and cake in the morning, fine dining for lunch and dinner and apéro location with a terrace outside. The restaurant is just opposite the railway tracks.
The food and drinks are not cheap but the quality is good and the people that work there very nice. One of the guys even went to the kiosk to buy some cigarettes for my friend because they do not have a machine (yet). I really recommend the beef tatar (hot) or the James Joyce burger – the Loft Five belongs to the Carlton Group. I discovered a rare thing on the wine list, see pic, you can buy the “Lynch Bages” by the glass…

Zurich – Last Thursday I went with three friends to Geroldchuchi for lunch. It’s new open since some weeks and I thought as long as I work in the area I will give it a try. The ambiance is very … Continue reading
