It was fun to visit here since we were staying nearby. It's everything you expect in an IKEA and…read moremore. We found this one a bit cleaner and more room to walk and stand. We had dinner here. And it had IKEA branded beer. No, you don't have to brew the barley yourself. :) For less than 3 Swiss Francs, it's a good beer. The food was good too with big portions from the cafeteria style hot and cold bars. Staying at the Marriott? Have a walk over and enjoy a beer! You might leave with a souvenir too. See website for location and directions.

Typical Ikea. You've seen one, you've seen them all. The restaurant is surprisingly decent. They…read moreeven have their own beer.

Manor is a department store of similar style/quality as Macy's (USA) or John Lewis (UK) BUT in the basement there is a grocery store/food hall that is simply amazing!! What's most amazing is it really can be your everyday place to shop - but in addition to your onions, potatoes, juice, milk, flour, cleaning supplies..... there is also an astounding selection of cheeses, meats, poultry, fish, fresh bakery for breads and cakes and a small café with pizzas, salads, stir-fry's (a bigger café is on the top floor). There is a good selection of organic produce (labelled BIO), and most of the fruit and veg are local and very seasonal. In the US and UK I got used to having access to pretty much anything at any time of the year, so the seasonality was a bit strange at first but now I look forward to changes in produce as the year progresses. Besides the cheese.... I mean food, there is a good selection of accessories (I LOVE tights and nearly passed out when I saw the selection), clothing for all the family, beautiful home goods, and a good selection of electronics. Prices are, well, Swiss but overall its not too bad and twice a year (Jan and July) there are really good sales. Maybe being within walking distance wasn't such a good idea..... ;-)

When you cross the river (from old town and a side where train station is), Manor is just a few…read moresteps away from the bridge. It is a department store having great super market on the basement level and good food court on the 5th floor (it says restaurant on the directory). It is very reasonable and lots of options for salad, desserts and fresh fruit juices. They offer three sizes at different prices. You can choose portion size too! On 4th floor, you can find some Switzerland souvenirs and cute accessories/toys. On basement level, there are salad bar and bakery and supermarket. Prices are good (a little cheaper than Coop store or other supermarket). PS: Dairy stuff, chocolate and bread are so good and cheap! Get some!!!
