14. November 2008

Restaurant Greulich, Hermann-Greulich Strasse, Zurich

Nov
2008

10. November 2008

The Greulich named itself after the street it’s located on, quite a decent idea if you have an uncommon address such as Herman-Greulich-Strasse 56. The reception of the hotel also doubles as the host which welcomes you to your table, read more…

Restaurant Freihof, Badenerstrasse, Zurich

Nov
2008

03. November 2008

Sometimes wandering around a city you end up in places you’d normally never enter. I was unsure wether to check out Singapore or Turbinenhalle and somehow decided to go for the Freihof, which is between the two places. A little read more…

Nov
2008

03. November 2008

Brunegg is located in a corner building in a nice spot between Enge and Wollishofen. It’s on a quiet street with nice old houses around it. I got the impression that this used to be a normal neighborhood eatery and 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.
