Sometimes a little luck while travelling is needed. The table next to us at 5 in Stuttgart recommended us the Weinstube Eissele in Esslingen. The place doesn’t even have a homepage and is difficult to find. But there’s a good read more…

Rössle, Rottweil, Germany

A trip to one of the most underdeveloped gastronomic countries in the world – Germany. The cliché is simple here, Germans only care about price, the restaurant which offers the cheapest meals, does the most business. We stop at Rottweil read more…

Chicken Adobo

Typically the small shops serve pretty tasty food, but I was severly disappointed at the Golden Asia Store. I was sold on the national dish of the Philippines, which is Chicken Adobo. After waiting (and there weren’t many people in read more…

23. January 2013

Where are you when you get lunch in bed and the guy lying across from you gets up to pee in a bedpan ? The hospital. A life-threatening, daunting, chilling-to-the-bone injury led me to enjoy hospitality at the Triemli hospital. read more…

Bianchi, Limmatquai, Zurich

Jan
2013

21. January 2013

I’ll cut straight to the chase, I’ve bitched many a times about “chain” restaurants and how they lack soul, Bianchi (ran jointly with the Bindella group) is the exception to the rule. Bianchi capitalizes on the name from a large read more…

The Rössli Erlenbach is run by a new owner and since it’s right off Seestrasse perfect if you’re passing through. The salad was a bit boring and not very imaginative. The Cordon bleu was slightly messy (cheese oozing out) but 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.
