Restaurant Adelboden, Steinen, Schwyz

Jan
2012

02. January 2012

I’ve told the story before, that I found out the day before it was announced that Franz Wiget of the Wiget Adelboden was named restaurant of the year. I tried to secure a table, so that I’d be able to read more…

Hummerbar, Bahnhofstrasse, Zurich

Dec
2011

21. December 2011

Hummerbar is classic powerhouse dining. Without a jacket you’ll still be welcomed, but you might feel a tad out of place in this rather traditional establishment. The atmosphere is formal and most of the staff has probably been working here read more…

Restaurant Schlössli, Kaeferholzstrasse, Zurich

Dec
2011

19. December 2011

I almost never write a second article about a restaurant, but the Restaurant Schlössli has earned one. On a cold and stormy night, a lonesome traveller searches refuge from the weather in an Inn close to a cemetery. A massive read more…

Yen’s Restaurant, Hallwylstrasse, Zurich

13. December 2011

Against better judgement I went to checkout Yen’s restaurant. I was hesitant for the fact that they had a Dein Deal or Groupon offering and very seldomly do decent restaurants show up on these marketing channels. The reason I went read more…

07. December 2011

There are limits to my reach my anonymous approach – I couldn’t get a table at the Clouds restaurant, since the place is already booked until December and rumour has it that the press was already invited to a pre-opening. read more…

06. December 2011

Ever since I met one of the Zueritipp editors, they’re sticking it to me every now and then. There are a couple of places where they beat me to the punch. But tickling the tiger can be contraproductive and like read more…

La Salle, Schiffbau, Zurich

Dec

05. December 2011

So I’ve been to a couple of different places, but La Salle was a new one for me. I’ve never been to a proper restaurant which was this chilly. I know it’s difficult heating a big vast space, but quite read more…

Cafe Huusmaa, Badenerstrasse, Zurich

30. November 2011

Huusmaa opened recently near the Kalkbreite. I wander over for lunch since I happen to be in the area. One thing that strikes me a bit odd is that they have 5 dishes on the menu for a lunch with read more…

Do I hate myself ? Do I have an underlying masochistic streak which is starting to come to the surface of my personality ? These are types of questions I find myself pondering after virtually every meal in the dining 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.
