Michelangelo, Gertrudstrasse, Zurich

Feb
2009

09. February 2009

We headed to Michelangelo for a quick dinner before moving on. The place is obviously setup for families and has a welcoming atmosphere and enough room to let the little rascals roam around. If you show up a bit later read more…

I’m getting older and I forgot to take pictures. We were spending the weekend at Davos for some nordic skiing. My first days in the army were almost as pleasant and my body is aching like hell. Anyway we were read more…

Not every culinary adventure leads me to a top notch restaurant, sporting the latest molecular gastronomical invention. Visiting a relative I ended up at the dining room of the Alterszentrum Hottingen, a nursery home. I had a lot of reservations read more…

Samurai, Weststrasse, Zürich

Jan
2009

27. January 2009

Japanese places tend to pop up in classy and trendy neighborhoods to cater to people with full wallets. Samurai doesn’t quite follow this pattern. It’s located on Weststrasse, just next to a whorehouse. Depending on the company you’re entertaining this read more…

26. January 2009

La Contrada is a strange little place near Langstrasse. I went in for a dinnner on Sunday night and It was pretty well packed, so I’m assuming it’s popular with the locals. Seldomly have I had such a difficult time read more…

Update: I don’t like to brag – but it took the Tagesanzeiger 10 days longer than yours truly to come up with this. Who’s the number one in Zurich? 🙂 Why is therealpickygourmet.com the best dining blog ? Because we read more…

I attended a company function at the Imagine in Sihlcity. It is one of the places which is owned by Candrian Catering. I’m not a big fan of Candrian Catering, simply for the fact that they’re running every restaurant in read more…

Leo’s Bistro, Stauffacher, Zurich

Jan
2009

15. January 2009

Leo’s Bistro is located just next to the Stauffacher. It obviously isn’t a chic and sleek restaurant, where highly paid gastronomic consultants worked on a new and exciting concept. We get lucky and get the nice lady as our waiter. 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.
