HoodTip field notes
Good places don’t stop at the edge of the usual city guide.
Discover HoodTips from smaller cities, islands, mountain towns and far-flung places around the world—all recommended by people who went there.
Outdoors · Bellevue, Switzerland
“Awesome beach, place to get in the lake. Sit on grass or stones. And there’s a restaurant, the ‘Auberge Gitana’ that looks super nice. Mellow lake vibes just outside of Geneva, much better than baby Plage, in my humble opinion.”
Café · Genève, Switzerland
“Foound is the one place on this list that has essentially consented in advance to your laptop. It combines a café, vegetarian restaurant, creative community and proper coworking space inside a colourful room near Cornavin. You can stop for coffee and get through some emails without feeling like an intruder. If you need to stay all day, do the decent thing and pay for the coworking rather than trying to game the café. Address: Rue Jean-Dassier 7 Good for: A productive morning, lunch and meeting other people pretending not to procrastinate”
Restaurant · Zurich
“Wesley Qian opened his first Zürich restaurant in February 2015 with his wife Jing and longtime friend Yang Wei — a Cantonese dim sum master who'd been head dim sum chef at the Grand Hyatt Shanghai. Wesley grew up in his mother's Shanghai restaurant before becoming a rising star of Chinese gastronomy himself. Traditional Chinese, reinterpreted with Japanese and European influences. Three locations in Zürich now — the one to know is the revamped shipping container behind Hauptbahnhof. There are 3 of these places in Zürich — I'd recommend the one by the central train station — it's just a revamped shipping container with cool graphics on it — get the chicken katsu — thank me later”
Give us a few lines. HoodTip turns it into a permanent, shareable recommendation.
