Pestalozzi

If it's a budget (for Switzerland) meal you want with decent food and eclectic surroundings, head for this restaurant in the Hotel of the same name. The serves are massive and the service vague, but there's plenty on the menu to tempt you, with a focus on Italian cuisine.

It's a spacious but welcoming place, with plenty of warm furnishings in a range of styles and colours competing for your attention. But that's not the only interesting diversion. This place also seems to attract interesting long-term tennants and a range of more eccentric passers-by.

Let's see, the first person we noticed the night we were there there was the guy in the corner playing chess with himself. Not so strange you say, except this guy got up and moved to the opposite side of the table each time he made a move and, when he lost (to himself), he proceeded to wipe the board clean in one deft movement, sending pieces flying across the floor.

The other person we noticed sat quietly in a darker corner having a conversation about the Queen (of England) with himself, regularly gesticulating and arguing - with himself, of course.

Not bad for a night's entertainment - all included in the bill of $28 that included soft drinks but not wine. That's a good point actually, this is a non-alcoholic restaurant. I guess that also discounts one of the excuses our two protagonists could have used.
