Cinema Abaton, Heinrichstrasse, Zurich

Apr
2012

09. April 2012

Never ever did I think I’d be writing about Cinema popcorn, but the Abaton gave me reason to rant. Popcorn isn’t that difficult to make, even I was able to master the skill at about 8 years of age. The read more…

Würstli-Shop, Hohlstrasse, Zurich

Apr
2012

02. April 2012

After this debacle I was in dire need of something comforting. I headed to the Würstli Shop opposite the Hotel Sonne and had my regular dish. A pork sausage with onion sauce and french fries. While watching the curious characters read more…

Gaumefröide @ Restaurant Mühletal, Limmatstrasse, Zurich

Apr

01. April 2012

Saturday night and my colleague I was supposed to meet is no longer responding, since apparently (which I learnt later) he fell asleep in front of the television. Anyway one of the options I had planned out was going to read more…

Morgenstern da Mario, Zwinglistrasse, Zurich

Mar
2012

30. March 2012

It was freezing and we headed for Dinner at Morgenstern da Mario. This is a typical restaurant with a host with a larger than life personality. The stairs to the washroom is filled with pictures of (assumed) Mario and an read more…

Times Restaurant, Gasometerstrasse, Zurich

Mar
2012

27. March 2012

I am posessed by a daemon, the daemon of being the first to publish about a new restaurant. This time it’s the Times restaurant on Gasometerstrasse, next to Maison Blunt in the Kreis 5. Normally I’d post a link, but read more…

Restaurant Popcorn (Hotel Neufeld), Goldbrunnenplatz, Zurich

Mar
2012

25. March 2012

Sometimes I almost feel sorry that I visit restaurants in my capacity as a food critic, simply for the fact that they’re so bad. Finding points to rant about is like trout fishing with handgrenades (a day in my army read more…

Yves & Kaspar chez Monsieur Ibrahim’s Cafe Marabu, Werdstrasse, Zurich

Mar
2012

24. March 2012

I’m not sure you’ve ever been at the Cafe Marabu. Right next to the Werd Verwaltungszentrum this small cafe has been there for years. The most notable thing is that it closes at two in the afternoon every day. Two read more…

Dragon Inn, Wollishofen, Zurich

Mar
2012

22. March 2012

I really like Peking Duck, so I was doing some research where in Zurich the best one is. Of course you can run off to Ly’s Asia and pay a whopping 225 CHF (for 2), but since my last visit read more…

Delmonico Fine Arts Restaurant, Hopfenstrasse, Zurich

Mar
2012

18. March 2012

Probably the most stubborn of chefs has been standing behind his clear line a the Delmonico Fine Arts restaurant for a couple of years. The menu has been slightly revamped for this spring and I decided to give it another read more…

Stefs Freieck, Wildbachstrasse, Zurich

Mar
2012

11. March 2012

I was in fear for my life. I attended a health checkup in a center specialised for such a thing. About 45 minutes of tests (incl. a blood sample) lead me to a room with a doctor to discuss my 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.
