Santa Lucia Niederdorf (Zurich, SWITZERLAND) ★★★☆☆

After spending more than two weeks on the road, everyone was kind of relieved that it's almost over. One last night in Zurich and last night of this trip for that matters, we just wanted something simple for dinner. Let's finish early, go pack our bags and crash!

Founded in 1965, Santa Lucia is an Italian restaurant chain with 12 branches across Switzerland, 8 of those are actually inside Zurich.

Hidden in the cobbled alleyways of Zurich's historic old town, Santa Lucia Niederdorf is famous for its wood-fire pizza and homemade pasta. 

I love an airy, light-flooded restaurant with lots of natural lights.

There's actually an outdoor patio just 20 staircases down from us but since most of us were already hobbling after all the walking on this trip, thanks but no thanks. Indoor suits us just fine.

Linguine, prawns and cherry tomatoes tossed in a creamy tomato sauce, with a little sprinkle of basil leaves. That's going to be my first supper in Zurich. I hope to be back soon coz I've always enjoyed visiting Zurich. There's not a whole lot to see here but I like the calming atmosphere around the city. Slow living, I bet all Hongkongers could use some of that.

Zurich's Old Town is small but there's plenty to see around here.

Just now, there's a small festival going on this week showcasing different kinds of street food.
