Over the last few weeks, I've tried a bit of the Migros restaurant and the Migros take-away from Migros Metropole in La Chaux-de-Fonds ... and we also sometimes use ready meals from Migros. For me, the stuff from the Migros take-away falls into the "terrible" category. For me, the restaurant falls under "decent ... edible if there's nothing better", but I wouldn't dream of walking even 100 meters for it at some point. The ready meals (for example Riz-Casimir, Zürcher geschnetzeltes,...) are "industrial food" at a very good level. It's not 5-star cuisine, but it's of a very good standard and consistent quality. OK... it is a bit expensive ... the price-performance ratio is not optimal, probably the packaging is simple, too elaborate and expensive ... I would "optimize" it. I used to go out to eat in Migros restaurants from time to time when I was at school, all over Switzerland ... I can't remember one where I would say that something was so good that I would go there again next time. I'd really like to go on a tour of Switzerland and see as many M restaurants and take-aways as possible to see if they're all as terrible as La Chaux-de-Fonds. I have a somewhat special "background" ... my mother was a doctor and had to interrupt her medical studies during the war. During this time, she obtained a diploma as a "housekeeping manager". Sometimes she managed huge retirement homes where food was cooked for over 10,000 people. Back then, my mother developed the cooking technique that has been used in Manor restaurants, for example, for about 10 years: she made sure that the food was of a very high, consistent quality. You can compare it to Gruyère cheese. It's always at a very high quality level ... no matter which Migros or when you buy it. It's "industrial quality" ... always very good, no variations worth mentioning. But Swiss Gruyère is slightly worse, like the highest quality, from "Beaufortain". This is a Gruyère from France ... of which the highest quality level is significantly better than Swiss Gruyère ... only a small part of the production is at this very high level. One part is as good as Swiss Gruyère and one part is worse. It is not an "industrial product" where everything has roughly the same quality. There is also an example of this in the take-away sector: the Big Mac from McDonalds is at a very high level as far as "industrial food" is concerned. Even "star chefs" can't manage to improve on the "Big Mac". It's perfect for the genre. I even feared that a small improvement that I would make ... wouldn't really make any difference. The "hamburger" I was served at the Migros take-away ... was terrible "sausage stand" grub. The "fried sausage" I tried there was half charred and also somehow off. I only go to a Migros restaurant once or twice a year at most, and I almost completely avoid takeaways. I go to McDonald's once or twice a month and if I'm somewhere with an IKEA restaurant ... I also like to eat the industrial food that's available there. But I don't know of a single Migros restaurant where I can remember a single meal that I would like to eat once or twice a year. In other words: If I fancy something from McDonalds ... then I go to the nearest McDonalds (no reason to go anywhere ... it's about the same level everywhere). If I go shopping in an Ikea, then I know that there's also something to eat there, which I find quite good. But if I go to Migros opposite ... then the restaurant is definitely not on my list, even with a 5 franc reduction coupon. Or, for example, when I go shopping in Spreitenbach, I don't even know if there's a Migros restaurant there ... OK, I don't go to Migros there either, because everything that is available there is also available here (this is certainly a Migros system "error" or "advantage" that Migros knows: all stores are more or less the same ... no matter where you are ... only in Graubünden there seem to be places where there is no Migros).
