I've been coming to this mall since....well since I can remember. And boy did it change over the years. Some for the better....some for the worse. And it's about time I wrote a review.
More than 30 years ago it was quite a bit darker and there wasn't a third floor (for quite some time). The only big restaurant was from Manor, later on a Donut Place opened up (I miss it until today). There even was a Burger Fast Food joint for a while...which is gone also.
But let's skip a few years....and arrive in 2019. The mall is bigger than ever. But still with the huge - and free - parking over several floors. But even so, it can get full on busy days.
There's a good selection of shops in the mall. A bit something for everybody. Stores changed a lot the past few years....some of the old ones, that have been around for years, are gone now. Making space for chains like Zara, which we like very much. A good addition.
The main anchor here - Manor - is always worth a look, especially on summer or winter sale.
H&M or C&A has cheaper deals, a bit of a hit'n'miss, but always on our list. The food market of Manor is a delight. Nice setting, great food presentation, products of high quality. With a great meat, fish & seafood, cheese and booze & wine section.
There are several spots to grab lunch. Brezelkönig has fantastic Pretzels (we prefer the one with salami), great for a quick lunch. For Pizza and Pasta we head to Bachmann, which is also a bakery and confiseur. On the top floor you'll find the Manora restaurant and Jasmin's - if you feel like asian food (not too authentic though). But we always go for Brezelkönig or Bachmann.
Just across the street you will find "Jumbo" - a huge Do-it-yourself store....quite big. Qualipet - the pet shop - is outside of the mall, in case your furry friend needs some treats.
It's not the biggest mall - it once was one of the biggest. And now the Mall of Switzerland has opened. But I grew up with this mall....and I will always go for this one....I don't care about the new openings. This one has charm. And it's also easy accessable with public transportation. And it's also pet friendly. read more
