Restaurant Kwang Chow, Schaffhauserstrasse, Zurich

May
2013

05. May 2013

If this were the Langstrasse, hipsters would find the Kwang Chow just splendid. The faded decor and the cheesy pictures of B-List celebrities dining here are all testament to what Chinese dining was all about in the eighties. Unfortunately 30 read more…

My beloved readers are already familiar with the fact and I’ll just reiterate for the occasional stray from Google Search, that I am a very modest person. In this article I wrote about the Restaurant zum Goldenen Fass and complained read more…

Vreni Gigers Chuchitisch, Jaegerhof, St. Gallen

Apr
2013

22. April 2013

I’ve always wanted to go to the Jaegerhof and try out something rather special, the Chuchitisch. Essentially it’s a Chef’s table tucked into a corner of the kitchen. It’s fascinating to see how the very clean and spotless restaurant, continues read more…

One restaurant closes and the next one opens a concept introduced as the “Circle of Life” by the great philosopher and faux hair piece connaisseur Elton John. Delmonico is moving and only weeks later the new Hopfenau opens. Interesting how read more…

differente, Schaffhauserstrasse, Zurich

Mar
2013

19. March 2013

Hotel restaurants are always a bit of a tossup, but the strong feature is that they tend to be open on a Sunday night. The differente was an option and it presented itself as a relatively lively place for a read more…

Somewhat difficult to reach is the Hotel Restaurant Equinox near Hardbrücke. Also the Hotel is called Renaissance, which is the same name as another hotel just outside Zurich Oerlikon. I walk into the half-empty dining area and wait at the read more…

Pizzeria Corallo, Weinbergstrasse, Zurich

Feb
2013

24. February 2013

Wandering around leads to discoveries. I headed to Kreis 6 and ended up in a Pizzeria called Corallo. At first the place looks a tad rund-down, a more friendly way to put it is patina. I have a small flashback read more…

L’Ulivo, Seefeldstrasse, Zurich

Feb
2013

17. February 2013

L’Ulivo is a smallish restaurant almost in Zollikon. Two people (assumedly wife and husband) are running the show, creating what some people call “italian charm”, other people like me would refer to a chaotic approach at running a dining establishment. 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.
