Sternen Grill

Zurich – You are hungry but you do not have time or do not want to spend a lot of money? Go to the Sternen Grill. This take away exists since 1963. I even remember it from my childhood when we went there with my mother after shopping or cinema for a bratwurst and pommes frites.

They have redone the whole building about one year ago. I think it is still nice and many of the people are still working there. But I have to admit that it lost a bit of its charme as it is all so clean now.

But nevertheless the bratwurst is great and the mustard the hottest in town! And if you are going there alone, you have enough entertainment by all kind of people coming and going.

Sprüngli

Zurich – On a day off I enjoy sometimes a breakfast in a restaurant. As we went to the weekly market on Bürkliplatz, we went for a Birchermuesli and a coffee in Sprüngli on the ground floor. The Sprüngli is an institution in Zurich located just at the Paradeplatz in the heart of Zurich. You can order a whole breakfast on the first floor in a very elegant atmosphere. On the ground floor – where is also the shop with the famous chocolate and Luxemburgerli – there is a smaller bar. You sit in big leather sofas and can just enjoy some people watching from the inside or from the small terrace.

Rosaly’s

Zurich – Last week I went with my friend to Rosalys. I haven’t been there for ages for dinner. We ordered the Cordon Bleu. They had the traditional one and the other that was a “seasonal” venison version in a panade with poppy seed. Actually I preferred the traditional one but my friend quite liked the other too.

Bottega Berta

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.

Terrasse

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.

Little Italy aka Hot Pasta

Zurich – Last week I tried this out for lunch and it was quite good. They serve fresh pasta you can combine with different sauces. You do not order by the waiter but you get a check that you fill in – took a little to get used to….The interior is full of beautiful black & white pictures and the rest quite colourful. Have a look at their website…totally forgot to take pictures. It reminded me a little bit of a diner in the US that sells Italian food but very likeable.

Hin&Weg

Zurich – In the new Zurich area Europaallee opened the restaurant Hin&Weg. I really like the interior of this restaurant, it is a mix of bistro, Mediterranean, cool venue you like to stay a little longer. The food is very fresh prepared at the buffet. They have a lot of varieties in salads, baguettes and soups for a good price, also to take away. The terrace invites to sit there also in the evening.

Rio Bar

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.
