Rheinfelder Bierhaus, Niederdorf, Zurich

May
2013

26. May 2013

There are two Rheinfelder places in Zurich, the slightly posher one being the Rheinfelder Bierhaus. Posh in the sense of a lower amount of openly alcoholic patrons, so that the level of down-to-earthness is even acceptable for local politicians to 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.
