2013

20. September 2013

The Wirtschaft im Franz used a crowd-funding approach to get their restaurant off the ground and since it’s open, it seems like they were successful. The vibe is great, slightly tucked away on Bremgartnerstrasse, it has an industrial chic touch read more…

Somtimes a small trip can be well worth your while. The restaurant Zur Säge in Flüh is approx. 30 minutes away from Basel main station, but with a newspaper it’s a pretty smooth ride and time passes quickly. The welcome read more…

One of the weirder places in Zurich’s restaurant scene is the Cafe Dallas near Bahnhof Oerlikon. If you want to travel back in time this is it. I am not the person to point fingers at typos, but Gordon Bleu read more…

Orlando isn’t the best of cities if one is dependent on public transport or foot. Luckily the inner city spots a couple of restaurants and a vibrant bar scene easily accessible on foot. One night dinner brings me to Kres read more…

Dinings is small restaurant featuring about 10 seats at the bar and 20 or so downstairs. It’s a play off a Japanese Tavern and serves mostly Japanese influenced dishes. Three dishes stood out for me. I didn’t get the concept read more…

Choose the next restaurant

Have you ever been interested in sending your favorite food critic to a restaurant of your choosing ?

Now it’s possible! The rules are simple, you pay for a dinner for two, including drinks. If it’s outside of Zurich an SBB half-fare ticket is added as well, your choice wether you want to join or not. So as an example if you want me to check out Ömer’s Imbiss, two Kebabs and two beers, plus the ticket would mean coughing up roughly 50 CHF, a visit at Mr. Rochat’s might be a tad more expensive.

If you need more information, or want me to try something special on the menu, contact me at therealpickygourmet@gmx.ch.
