Gustav, Lagerstrasse, Zurich

01. September 2015

Gustav is part of the inevitable gentrification process at Lagerstrasse. What used to be a dump used by SBB for who knows what, is now a modern mix of shops, restaurants and appartments. Gustav is clearly a restaurant which is read more…

Stubä, Brauerstrasse, Zurich

Our plans were to see the play A1 Ein Stück Schweizer Strasse at the Schauspielhaus. Brainstorming where to get dinner we settled on the Le Dézaley. Apparently it’s been a restaurant since 1883 and by now one would expect they’d 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.
