Breakfast Down Under

Located down a charming alley at Zeughausgasse 13, Jen’s specializes in Australian style breakfast and coffees. The interior is simple, slightly rustic and beautiful. The place has a bit of a cult following and they do not take reservations. It’s best to follow on FB or Instagram for exact opening dates and times. Makes you want to go, doesn’t it?

Sah wah dee khaa...
Missing a taste of Asian cuisine, specifically authentic Thai? Visit this little takeaway place in Neustadt Passage on Barrerstrasse 2 and be prepared to receive a warm greeting upon entering. Generally offering around 4-5 dishes (until they run out), this unpretentious eatery offers genuine flavors and generous portions. When we visited, we found some spots at one of the few tables and waited for our Pad Thai to be freshly cooked, as the first batch had run out There’s also a shop where zou can buz imported goods to make a Thai feast at home. Good to know: Rung Tawan Thai Shop (Take Away) is cash only.

Where’s the beef?
