We went to twinys looking for quick bite to eat under $20 and it was a hard search unfortunately (we were tired of quick meals at coop and migros). And twinys really came to our rescue. It's a food stand so everything there is to go and there is no where to sit. The staff was very friendly, one of my friends had a food allergy and they had no issues whatsoever adjusting his sandwich accordingly. I got the chicken sandwich, their staple sandwich and I was a big fan. Would recommend getting the twiny sauce and the garlic sauce as well. Was quite a flavorful sandwich and the staff even added extra pickles after I joked it. The bread is nice and crispy and the chicken came out hot. My friends loved their salami sandwich. I would note that the sandwiches can be a bit messy, we had a few bread crumbs and pieces of lettuce fall out while eating and the sauce does start to drip. We ended up coming back for more sandwiches later in our trip as our go to quick eat spot that is inexpensive. If you are looking for a bite without spending a fortune in Lucerne would recommend a visit!

It's a takeout window. Easy to order and food was ready quickly. I ordered the large chicken schnitzel with garlic sauce and a side of pommes for 20 CHF. Served on a baguette, the sandwich had multiple cutlets of schnitzel throughout. They go heavy on the sauce and Im here for it! The sandwich was filling but a little messy. The fries were good, nothing remarkable, but good old heated up precut frozen fries. We took our food down to the water and ate on a bench. It was great. In fact, we were so full from our sandwiches we decided to skip our sit down dinner a couple hours later.

ANYWAY, as it is now towards the end of my trip, I'm hungry, and I love street food, so what better way to spend my last few swiss franc coins than a german sausage at the food stand in the main train station of Zurich? Oops, forgot I was in Switzerland and the 2 FR coins will do you no good. The chilliwurst I got here was about 6.50 FR, which is actually pretty darn cheap. Thank goodness I still had some EUR left on me, and they took it with 1:1 exchange, which is no longer a rip-off. I guess good things do come out of that Swiss Franc move. They have a selection of food at Buffet Express, but a tiny stand just for sausages. You get to pick different types of bread, and I opted for the one that already had a hole in the centre, specially made for wursts. The guy squeezed some ketchup into the hole, took the chiliwurst off the grill, and slipped it in (I feel like there's a joke here somewhere). The good: chiliwurst was very tasty and filling...and actually a bit spicy!!! The not so good: the ketchup shoots out from the bottom every time you take a bite at the top, and the only thing eating that ketchup is your coat. Overall, I was happy with my selection. P.S., I did walk around oldtown later to see what I can buy for 6.50 food-wise, and I only found sausages, so if you are hungry after you get off the train, I suggest you don't shy away from Buffet Express.

I was last Saturday early morning in Berne Train railway station and was really tired and somehow I…read moreneeded a strong coffee for waking up. I often drink black coffee without anything. So I could easily tell if it's a good coffee or not. I tried Segafredo Coffee in Tokyo and I liked it. Japanese customer are used to high quality and good service. Every western company knows this very well before opening a branch there. So I bought a Segafredo coffee for 3.60 Swiss francs and wanted to enjoy it in the train. The coffee taste was so disappointing bad quality and low level. Even coffee from coffee filter machine is much better. I can say till now it's only in Starbucks where I can get real high quality coffee.

I thought, sure why not try some coffee. I had seen this stand in the Geneva train station as well, but had never tried their coffee. They also offer snack options here. I always notice that they have donuts of different varieties - zebra, strawberry, sprinkles, chocolate, plain etc. But, I have never once seen anyone ordering or eating them. They look so perfect, I often imagine they are plastic. I would love to try one in order to just be able to write a review, but I can't bring myself to try one. I grabbed my coffee after cringing from handing over 5.50 for a double espresso...I couldn't believe the price. The boast to be a fabulous Italian roast. The coffee was nothing special..it was definitely two star standard train station coffee. Definitely not worth the 5.50.

Not terribly authentic, but quite delicious and speedy too. The bread served with salads, etc is essentially pizza dough, light and fluffy with a nice crusty outside.

The dim sum debacle…read more Wife knows what I like, and mentioned a dim sum place when we were walking from the train station dragging our wheeled carry-on to our hotel, half a mile away, in old town Zurich, Switzerland. We walked back, and right across the street from the Bahnhoff was a vendor spot with a sign "Dim Sum". Aluminum roof with three tables and five chairs. We go up to the counter, and immediately get what the previous couple had gotten: an order of pot stickers and dumplings. "Kleine order Grosse?" asks the vendor, a middle aged white dude, with his Chinese wife working in the background on making more potstickers or dumplings. Large order of course, and before I can get my credit card out, one large plate of pot stickers, and another plate of dumplings is served. Not piping hot, only warm, as if the meals were stored in a pizza heating container. "CHF38, bitte" says the vendor. $38 for two dishes from a food truck!? Now, you know why Zurich is the most expensive city in Europe. Credit card will cost a additional swiss franc. I'm absolutely famished, after last eating at 6am, with it now 130pm, after a 9,000 mile trip from San Jose, via Atlanta to Zurich earlier that morning. I'm eating like it's my last meal, devouring everything in front of me. Wife doesn't like the dumplings, saying it's too salty. So I finish up the dumplings, and she the pot stickers. As we finish up, the vendor asks us to pass the soy sauce to the next customer, as if the items were not salty enough! Seems that the food served here does taste familiar to me. My ex was infamous for discretely bagging pot stickers and dumplings from Chinese buffets. Those leftover reheated food buffet items! Three stars because service was so outstanding, and the vendor was considerate and kind. And we did finish our plates.

Last day of a 4 week trip around Europe and I have never been spoken to the way I did here. I spotted a shaded part of ground to quickly spray some sun cream before continuing my walk. I spray on my cream and am about to go on my way when I remember I better put my factor 50 on my legs. I have my bag on the bench outside this place that has no sign on it to say it belongs to the fast food kiosk. So I put my foot on the bench and quickly spray my legs with cream. BIG MISTAKE! Over comes an angry looking German man with a moustache and sprays my leg with the detergent. I think he's joking because I don't hear him as I have my headphones in. I laugh and remove my headphones. He then shouts saying I'm silly doing this here as people sit here. I look confused and say pardon? He says 'go over there, people sit here!' He then pushes me out of the way with his shoulder. At this point I have removed my sunglasses and headphones and I'm shocked at what's happening. I say 'oh I'm sorry but I came here because it was in the shade and all you had to do was ask me nicely not spray me with detergent and push me, that was very rude!' (It gets worse) Now out comes an Asian woman shouting at me in German, right in my face about which I assume is that people basically sit there and I shouldn't have my feet there. Which I totally understand but just tell people this in a nice way. I say there's no need to shout and you couldn't just politely asked me to move and I would've. She then screams something, gets in my face and actually kicks the bench with her feet. I mean what on Earth is going on!!! I say to her I don't know why she's shouting and she's only making herself angry. I'm sorry but this is a ridiculous way to treat someone. What an aggressive couple to own a food kiosk in the public industry. I would avoid this place at all costs as you may be shouted at and beaten if, god forbid, you have a genuine complaint about the dimsum. I say visit here at your own risk. If there were no stars I would give it such. Horrible people.
