Zurich - Vegetarian Restaurant

I came across another vegetarian restaurant the other day, and althoughI haven’t tried it yet, thought I should post about it.
It’s located near the Central tram station, in the Hotel Limmathof, which might not be the most stylish place in Zurich, but it looks to offer good value. Please let me know if you get […]

Zurich - Mère Catherine

 
Travellers to Zurich are always on the look out for good, and good value,  restaurants.
Situated in a pretty courtyard in the Niederdorf, Mere Catherine is a great location to enjoy fine French food.
Fish and Mediterranean specialities tend to be the favourites, but there is a good offering for carnivores and a selection of vegetarian […]

Restaurants: Schloss Schadau

I must confess to liking French chateaus (chateaux?) with pointy bits on the roof. Turn one into a restaurant and I’m even happier.
Present me with such a restaurant overlooking a stunning lake and some of the most impressive mountains ever, and I’m, well, really happy.
Down on the shores of the Thunersee (Lake Thun) Schloss (Castle) […]

Five Star Sausages

Just round the corner from the Kronenhalle is a decidedly more affordable restaurant, the Vorderer Stern. Located right by the Bellevue tram stop, it’s in an ideal location for the lake, opera, cinemas and shops.
Also known as Sterne Foifi, loosely translated as the fifth star, for reasons which I have not been able to […]
