Janet's Birthday

Back in May our friends invited us over for a home cooked meal for Janet's birthday. It was a lovely time with good food, friends, and a wonderful view!

Best Hamburger!

This is the best hamburger we've found so far in the area at Les Arcades in Nyon!

Cafe de la Mairie, Geneva

We had a lovely evening out at Cafe de la Mairie in March. The food is excellent, though a bit pricey.

Christmas Eve Dinner

Janet made Roladen for Christmas Eve dinner. Unfortunately, the photo is dark, but the big pile of meat in the foreground is the Roladen. The meal turned out exceptionally well. Janet got her meat from Germany this year and was very happy with the results.

Hotel Restaurant Helvetia

Our friend read about a burger place in Zurich, so we all took the tram downtown to find it, only to discover that it was closed for the Holidays. So, we ate at this hotel restaurant instead. The food was quite good.

Brunch

Last weekend we decided to check out the shops in Carouge in Geneva with a couple of friends. The shops stay open on Sundays before Christmas (everything is normally closed on Sundays). We also stopped by ô calme for brunch. It is a cute little place. We will probably go back!

The Biggest American Meal

We went to friend Faith's place for Thanksgiving this year. Yes, even in France, we manage to have at least one (usually two or three) Thanksgivings.






Fancy attire.



Of course, there is still a bit of France thrown in at dessert!

Gruyères, Switzerland: Fleur de Lys

We ate a wonderful meal at the Fleur de Lys. They had a good game menu (popular in the Fall) and a Mac and Cheese dish with Gruyères cheese. So good!






Charlie had company at this meal.

Prague XI: Novomestsky Pivovar

We met a relative of mine at this brewery/restaurant for lunch before flying back to Geneva. Good food and good company! If I hadn't been trying to get over a cold and about to get on a plane, I would have also enjoyed the good beer!

Worked up an Appetite

After going up the Schilthorn, we had dinner at the Hotel Oberland in Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland. This is their cute cow logo.






The pizza was OK, but their Wienerschnitzel is the best!






They were very sweet and actually made us a dessert to order! It is made with Limoncello and lemon sorbet.

100 Strangers Series: 19

My friend and I ate at a wonderful little Salon de Thé in Albi called Le Solelhou. We met David here and had a nice conversation with him. He is a very nice guy and likes to speak English. If you have a chance to eat in Albi, definitely stop by!

Anniversary Brunch at Home

It doesn't get much better than this!

BBQ

The weather here has been great (more like summer than Spring), so we went to some friend's place for a BBQ. This is Elsie, their 13 year old dog.



Yummy salmon salad!






The clean-up crew: Charlie, Elsie, and Poppy.

Prague III: Kampa Park

We ate at a restaurant on the river with a view of the Charles Bridge called Kampa Park. The weather was perfect for sitting outside and admiring the view as well as enjoying the good food!

Auberge des Trois Coqs

Our friends from Basel were visiting, so we headed to the Auberge des Trois Coqs for dinner. Fantastic food, great service, and cozy atmosphere. They also have dairy free and gluten free options on the menu.
