Kurioz Bar & Kitchen, Pilatusstrasse 1, 6300 Zug

We were astounded that at 10 minutes before six without a reservation, this restaurant was completely full… Many restaurants tell you that they are fully booked, this one was factually FULL. With a little bit of luck and kindness, we were able to get a table in the bar area where we enjoyed what can only be described as a Michelin Star worthy epicurean rapture. Usually, a bar menu is not exactly known for delighting and surprising guests. However, we were completely blown away by both the quality and presentation of the appetizer and main dish offered. To say that the dishes were simply “plated” would be a vast understatement as the food here is carefully curated and the final work of art can only be the work of an artist who has the rare gift to construct incredible visual appeal. The chef truly offers you a masterclass in eye candy. The monkfish was perfectly seared and the melody of fresh baby vegetables were the perfect accompaniment. I can’t even try to describe how beautiful and surprising the tomato ice cream was! We had the honor to meet the chef after the meal, and was astonished to learn that he wasn’t from some Parisian chic restaurant, rather from near Dresden. Make no mistake, this chef’s star is rising, and you would be wise to catch it while you still can pay for it.

Kurioz has an inventive menu, it's like a crossword puzzle to figure out what you are going to get. The friendly staff explains it well. The cooking was remarkable, the courses well balanced and absolutely delicious.

Very nice and friendly Bar / Restaurant. Cozy modern seating with friendly and attentive staff. Good drinks and wine selection. Nice snacks !
