lunch at the Dolder Grand Garden Restaurant

Birthday lunch at the Dolder Grand Garden Restaurant

Posted by Thien Lan on March 30, 2015March 30, 2015 in Food, Luxury, Swiss food, Switzerland, Zurich

My husband is turning 38 and for his lunch celebration I wanted something grand that will remind him of Zurich forever. The choice was easy: Dolder Grand Hotel, the iconic hotel with a view on the Lake and its very…

Why I hate Parsenn ski fields in Davos, Switzerland

Posted by Thien Lan on March 5, 2015February 28, 2015 in Outdoors, Swiss food, Switzerland

Hi everyone! A bit of ranting today. I’m on holidays at a ski resort and we decided to explore the biggest ski field in Davos Klosters: Parsenn. You go up from the city center with a vertical train. It all…

what to do with kids in Paris

Paris with a 6 year old?

Posted by Thien Lan on February 26, 2015November 13, 2017 in Food, France, Kids friendly, Restaurant Review, Staff pick

Last week I spent 2 days with my 6 year old son in Paris. Just the two of us. I’ve never been inspired with what to do in Paris with kids. I’ve always found the city so kids unfriendly! I wasn’t…

Il Faro Grotto near the military museum in Dubendorf

Il Faro Grotto, Romantic Italian Restaurant in Dubendorf (Zurich)

Posted by Thien Lan on February 5, 2015February 2, 2015 in Food, Italian Food, Kids friendly, Near Dubendorf, Restaurant Review, Zurich

Ok guys, I know I raved about Pinocchio but I’ve got a new local restaurant crush with Il Faro. Not the one on Zurichstrasse but the Grotto one, hidden near the military airport. Enter the room and you feel like…

Lamb on hotstone at Kibiz

Kibiz Restaurant in Dietlikon

Posted by Thien Lan on January 29, 2015January 29, 2015 in Food, Near Dubendorf, Restaurant Review, Swiss food, Zurich

This restaurant review is for the locals. I’m sure you’ve been shopping in Dietlikon at the big Coop supermarket (which is our absolute favourite because of their French lay-out and scan system), Ikea, H&M, Jumbo or Toys R Us. Maybe you’ve even been…

Clouds, bistro with a view in Zurich

Posted by Thien Lan on January 22, 2015April 30, 2015 in Food, Luxury, Restaurant Review, Zurich

Date lunches are back! We originally planned to use our Groupon deal at Chez Brigitte but when we rang to book we had a voicemail message suggesting they were closed and their website is down too… So, plan B. One…

Green tea at Kang In

Kang In, Cambodian Restaurant in Dubendorf

Posted by Thien Lan on January 15, 2015January 15, 2015 in Asian Food, Food, Near Dubendorf, Restaurant Review, Zurich

I’m always on the look out for Asian restaurants near me so I went to try Kang-In in Dubendorf. Very hard to find: they don’t have a big sign post at the top of the building. I drive by almost…

Oberiberg ski resort near Zurich perfect for kids

Oberiberg, a very child friendly ski resort near Zurich

Posted by Thien Lan on January 8, 2015January 15, 2015 in Fashion and Beauty, Food, Kids friendly, Outdoors, Parenting, Restaurant Review, Zurich

On Sunday the snow had melted overnight but the sun was out. We thought sunshine would provide the best first ski experience for the kids. We are new in town, we didn’t really know where to go, so we looked…

Aupres du Clocher Pommard

Aupres du clocher, restaurant in Pommard, Burgundy France

Posted by Thien Lan on January 1, 2015June 4, 2015 in Food, France, Restaurant Review

During that week end in Burgundy where we were piling up the Michelin stars, we went wine tasting. Just to be clear, Manu and my friends enjoyed the wine tasting, whilst I volunteered to be on babysitter duty (so I…

Asiaway, the best Asian restaurant in Zurich

Posted by Thien Lan on December 11, 2014January 15, 2015 in Asian Food, Food, Kids friendly, Near Dubendorf, Oerlikon, Restaurant Review, Zurich

Asiaway is THE way! The name is not as appealing as “Saigon” or something related to Vietnam, but when we discovered it, we were totally sold! We love it so much we recommend to everyone, whether you are familiar or…
