Zurich – To be honest, I haven’t been to Bar a Dox for quite some time…. until lately for lunch with a friend.
And what changed in about 5 years? I’d say: Nothing at all. The menu had the same dishes on it and so I had to have the “Suli’s Special”; salad with chicken stripes and complimentary focaccia bread.
In the evening it is a lively bar and in summer they have also some tables outside.
Bäch – If you like fish and seafood you have to dine in the Faktorei. The historical building, located directly by the lake of Zurich, is a former salt factory on the trade route from Austria. It was where salt was distributed to central Switzerland.
I absolutely recommend to have the fish menu. It is a lot of food and also quite pricey but you can try a little bit of everything. I specially liked the lobster soup. You should reserve your table in advance!

Zurich – Miraculous food in Zurich? Yes, it is true. We celebrated our dear friends birthday in the small and cosy Italian restaurant. The staff is really friendly and assists you in finding the right food. I chose the truffle tagliolini….mmmmm and the small pizza with wild boar and I did not regret it at all.
Les Diablerets – on the 1st of January we managed to get on our skis and found this restaurant with its spectacular view and a massive rock that looked from far as a needle in the snow.
Beer was out – but we enjoyed the Swiss white wine, the soups and sausages just as well….
London – This place is a wonderful experience for a real traditional but special afternoon tea for ladies who care about fashion and style not only in clothes but also in food.
The elegant 5* Berkeley Hotel is located in the middle of Knightsbridge and houses this beautiful venue one (woman) should not miss while visiting London.
You can enjoy a glass of champagne, make a choice of fine selected teas and bite into the freshly prepared sandwiches, scones, sweets and little surprises that are placed on the beautiful porcelain platters. It is a little pricey – between 51 and 57 GBP – but you can order as much food and tea as you can manage.
Reservation is needed about 2 weeks in advance.

London – If you are in London and want to enjoy some Asian food in tapas-style size you should go to Shochu Lounge. The restaurant is located in a cellar under Roka restaurant. But if you plan a romantic dinner or would like to discuss something this might be not the right place as it is quite loud thanks to the house DJ in the middle of the restaurant.
I guess we must have been VERY hungry that there are not more photos of the food….
London – This cosy Italian restaurant could be place in a side street in an Italian city – you would only think, why do they all speak English? The antipasti, pasta and risotto was excellent and just what we needed after a girls night out and a whole day of power shopping.

London – A great place to stay and eat. The rooms are modern, comfortable and a good deal. The hotel is quite centrally located and just in the middle of the booming Shoreditch area (visit also the Old Spitalfields market).
The bar is always very busy and at weekend there is a queue outside.
On our last day we had breakfast in the restaurant which offered delicious American style Eggs Benedict or English beans on toast with bacon – not all choices actually hip-friendly but they serve also yummy freshly squeezed juices to compensate.
