A doyen of high-end cuisine in the Grisons Alps
After
several years of cooking at Hotel Seehof Armin Amrein, doyen of high-end
cuisine in the area of Davos/Klosters in the Swiss Alps, opened his own
restaurant – Glow – in a furniture shop one year ago. It is a small place with
an even smaller kitchen, virtually a “shop in the shop” or more accurately a
“spot in the shop”. As expected from such a
Hippest place in town under new management
Restaurant
Einstein had been a favorite of our family in Aarau, where recommended fine
dining restaurants are not abundant, for the last decade. Unfortunately, the
owner of the building gave over the management to a restaurant group in the
area, which had been not known for upscale cuisine so far. Having said this, I
will not exclude that this restaurant can hold its ground as culinary hot spot,
but I have not yet visited the restaurant since its reopening in August 2016.
Time will tell … Of course, we decided to have a farewell dinner before
closing down. Please pay attention to the fact
In paying tribute to my all-time favorite amongst local restaurants
Not long ago, I published my review of Felsenburg on this blog and now I have to announce that this legendary Italian restaurant in my home town closes its door. Although I knew that there were sales negotiations going on, this came as a shock to me. I have been going there regularly for almost 40 years and it never failed to make me enthusiastic.
Fantastic outdoor seating and great pizza but
beware of desserts
On a warm
summer evening my husband and I had dinner at the Restaurant Lungomare. We were
seated on the really beautiful terrace overlooking the river of Aare and the
old bridge leading to Olten’s old town. This was not our first visit to this
Italian restaurant, but so far we had “only” salad and pizza. This time we
ventured into new dishes on the extensive menu.
A cute little eatery on the water’s edge with refined cuisine
The small
restaurant in Rupperswil near Aarau in the Swiss Mittelland is my discovery of
the year when it comes to eateries in the vicinity of my domicile! In other
reviews of restaurants in my surroundings I already mentioned that the town of
Aarau is not a foodie’s heaven. Because of that I checked out the restaurants
in Aarau’s neighborhood and came across Silvio’s Ampere. After visiting the
place in early summer I went another two times and was always delighted by the refined cuisine!
Fairly good food in refined surroundings
After
having tried out Thai Restaurant Chao-Wang in the area, I got another
recommendation for a Thai place from a friend, this time in a village near
Olten, Thai Restaurant Joy in Rickenbach. Normally, when our family is craving
for Thai food, we choose an eatery in Olten, Goldener Lo(e)wen Lann Thai in
Olten, which serves quality Thai food in the upper price range. But this time
we decided to check out a place new to us.
Sound performance of cuisine and service in
eighties styled decor
This
restaurant on the river of Aare is known in town for a sound performance when
it comes to traditional cuisine. I have to admit that I have not visited Aarhof
for some time as I thought that the cooking is not modern enough for my liking.
Having said this, my husband and I decided a few months ago to give it another
try. And I have to say that I was quite impressed with the offered.
