Not a complaint just something that tickled me when it happened twice in 2 days.

I was sat having dinner in a restaurant (sadly for 1) when the waiter came to serve the food to the table next to mine, he placed all the dishes on my table and served them on to my fellow diners table one by one without even a glance to me. I know space is at a premium but it got me smiling when imagining a restaurant at home or in London and as to how people would react......

I'm not sure smiling would be the normal reaction, probably open-mouthed and simmering would generally do it!

I'm still new to Zurich, but I imagine this is the first of many small differences I'm going to notice in the future

Depends on the resturant. Where were you?

Never noticed such a thing. Quite unusual. He was probably somewhere on the moon.

Swissotel Oerlikon & can't remember the name of the other place.......must be my prototype invisible cloak doing the trick then?

Better get used to mediocre food, lousy service at a high price. That is until you get to know a few of the waiters; then you'll at least get a smile along with the lousy service.

Hope you didn't leave a tip

Not exactly the usual thing, but if it has to happen the waiter apologizes for disturbing when he/she does so.




That prices of food here around are far too high is not new. I however know many restaurants with good to excellent food and good to excellent service. And I do not refer to "noble" places

Well feel free to recommend places as I'll be spending far too much time here whilst my accommodation gets finalised!

Best regards
