Delmonico, Hopfenstrasse, Zurich

04. December 2008

Sometimes I find places by wandering around. I wanted to eat at a place at the Manesseplatz, drove past it to park and found the Delmonico Fine Arts Restaurant. I changed my plans and entered. Dimmed lights, white table cloths read more…

Sunday night, looking for a nice meal we ended up at Ristorante Italia. A rather busy place, we saw a whole slew of tables being turned after we arrived at 8 pm. We sat down at a nice round table read more…

Restaurant Spice, Rigiblick, Zurich

02. December 2008

I’ve tried for some time to get a table at Restaurant Rigiblick. The lesson here is call three weeks in advance for a Saturday night. We had a reservation for 20:15 and the Seilbahn Rigiblick conveniently brought us to the read more…

Have you ever missed the times, where you’ve stumbled across a place and it was yours? Never full enough to warrant a reservation, but still sufficently packed to give you the impression it was busy. Zum guten Glueck used to read more…

Relais des Arts (Crowne Plaza), Badenerstrasse, Zurich

Dec
2008

01. December 2008

If there is one lesson I’ve learned the hard way, then it is to never trust the “Gasto Charts” of the Zueritpp. A housewarming party near Letzigrund led me to give the Relais des Arts a try. The hotel used read more…

Kerala is an indian place, near Bucheggplatz, just next to the Radiostudio tramstation. I’ve yet to meet a really modern and upscale indian restaurant and Kerala is in dire need of a renovation. We sat down, asked for some Papadams read more…

La Cote, Kalkbreitestrasse, Zurich

Nov

27. November 2008

La Cote used to be located at the Lagerstrasse but has moved on to Kalkbreite- strasse. Interior is rather classic old eatery, with white tablecloths. Again not a place for vegans but for meat connaisseurs. Not much action happening on read more…

25. November 2008

A meatless diet is wrong. To counterbalance the religious zeal with which Vegans advertise their lifestyle I’d like to reiterate some proven facts about meat eaters: Meat eaters have a longer life expectancy Meat eaters protein and B12 intake lead read more…

On the same day I enjoyed a light lunch I had a dinner reservation at the Le Buffet de la Gare des Eaux-Vives in Geneva. Now “buffet de la gare” reminds me of train journeys with grandparents as a kid read more…

Royal Hua Hin, Rotachstrasse (near Goldbrunnenplatz), Zurich

Nov
2008

24. November 2008

Since I’ve started my food critic blog, I’m always surprised to see the amount of restaurants which are obviously not doing tremendously well. Royal Hua Hin poses itself as a bit of an upscale Thai restaurant. The only other table 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.
