Rhône Valley 2024 by Ombiasy Public Relations and Wine Tours led by Annette Schiller took place from October 13 - October 23. The tour started in Lyon and ended in Châteauneuf-du-Pape/ Avignon. There were 8 of us including Annette and me.
The return trip from Châteauneuf-du-Pape/ Avignon to Washington DC included a 2-hour lay-over at the Zürich Hauptbahnhof. Annette and I used the time for a quick dinner at Brasserie Sud, which is located in the main railway station building.
Michelin
This place has the potential to become a mecca for foodies! Located directly in the main railway station building, this restaurant is ideal for a meal when you are waiting for a connecting train, but it also attracts business people and locals. Within an attractive historical setting (notably the high ceiling and large arched windows), diners can immerse themselves in a vibrant brasserie atmosphere, or head to the outdoor terrace overlooking Bahnhofstrasse. The cuisine is seasonal and international, and there are daily specials. Complementing the menu is an intriguing wine list highlighting French and Swiss labels and featuring a well-curated selection of wines by the glass. Adept and well-organised service. Tip: Bouillabaisse is served every Friday; brunch at weekends. For top-notch cocktails, head to Da Capo Bar.
