What a whirlwind week it’s been Ronster. Trump found guilty on all 34 charges and the US moving into uncharted territory. Could the free world have a president from jail? And how about Daniel Ek, the Spotify billionaire causing a storm on X with his comments on the cost of «content» for his platform. And how could i forget about Real Madrid winning the Champions league final (yawn,) again! We certainly live in interesting times. But forget about all that nonsense, we have a weekend to enjoy. There is plenty going on in the city with food connoisseurs having a lot to be happy about as well as some great gigs. Have a lovely weekend and…

Give my love to the city

I’m sure we all agree! We all love food! Food is great whether we are enjoying a languid, red-wine-soaked afternoon around the table or slamming down a sandwich before work. «Where are you going with this, Ron?» I hear you ask. Well, Thursday sees the start of the Food Zurich festival, and they have an enormous number of events, tastings, and even a food «Jam Session». The festival starts today and right off the bat, the first few events look amazing. Check out their programme and enjoy ten days of deliciousness.

I can still taste that heavenly burrata from «La Tartina» pop-up. So, imagine my excitement when I heard Tartina delights are back! But this time it’s not just the taste of Italy. This time Italian flavours are going to be infused Thai character. Say hello to «Tuk-Tuk Tartina,» popping up at Légère until the end of August. Trust me, you'll want to book a table ASAP!

Swiss people are incredibly lucky! Unlike most countries, they get to dive right into the political action and have the final say on legislation. This Sunday, voters will head to the polls to weigh in on three hot topics: renewable energy, consent for invasive procedures, and the big one—health care premiums. Plus, there are three local issues up for grabs. Exciting times!
