Schnitzelhuus, Schwamendingenstrasse, Zurich

Apr
2012

26. April 2012

Next to the Offene Rennbahn Oerlikon – a true monument to swiss cycling history – the Schnitzelhuus opened. Taking up the german cuisine trends from a number of Currywurst places or such venues as Bayrischer Hof, extending it to Schnitzel read more…

Cantinetta Antinori, Augustinergasse, Zurich

Apr
2012

22. April 2012

Cantinetta Antinori near the Paradeplatz is claiming to offer simple dishes of high quality. Taking into account that the german language in Switzerland sports a level of modesty, this would translate to outstanding quality in an english speaking country. It’s read more…

Korner, Gartenstrasse, Zurich

Apr
2012

19. April 2012

Korner opened and is another burger place. I am having a feeling that developing Zurich’s gastronomy scene is rather simple, dine abroad, look for good ideas and import them. The interior is modern and shows a lot of restraint. The read more…

2012

18. April 2012

A colleague from London wanted to taste something quintessential swiss, he’s a half-vegetarian (just chicken) so I decided we’ll head out to get some fondue. Personally I think part of the Fondue experience is doing it yourself with friends in read more…

Updated Design or what happens when you tickle a sleeping tiger

Apr
2012

18. April 2012

Unless you’re reading this on a Text-to-Braille converting machine, you will have noticed that I revamped the design. So far I was doing it myself, but obviously this was only a secondary area of my profound skillset and other vast read more…

Apr
2012

16. April 2012

It seems that Social Media restaurants are becoming the next new thing in Zurich. After Wurst und Moritz a place called Facefood Cafeopened next to the Gueterbahnhof. I wasn’t expecting much, since it took me three attempts to eat here. read more…

Restaurant Ziegelhuette, Schwamendingen, Zurich

Apr
2012

12. April 2012

The Ziegelhütte in Schwamendingen has been relaunched by a well established restaurant entrepeneur. I was looking forward to seeing what they had to offer. The menu was pretty enticing with a local Zurich touch and someone who cares about ensuring 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.
