Oct
2008

29. October 2008

In Erlenbach on the Seestrasse there’s the Casa Manuel or Rössli Erlenbach as it used to be called. Some places you walk into and you right away feel you’ve made a mistake. Shyness and the fear of appearing uncourteous prevented read more…

Caduff’s Wineloft, Kanzleistrasse, Zurich

Oct
2008

26. October 2008

Caduff has a sort of a pre-subprime crisis feel to it. The large bar area, the high walls and the name wineloft all sort of imply Yuppie place. But like good looking women in certain baltic cities, looks can be read more…

Tifo, Bahnhof Enge, Zürich

Oct
2008

26. October 2008

Tifo is a maroccan place near the Bahnhof Enge. It looks like what I’d expect from a maroccan place, it’s a bit shady, a bit kitschy and you can smoke shishas. Now Shisha smokers tend to be people who don’t read more…

I should have known and I should have stayed away from the Triibhuus. In the middle of nowhere, on the outskirts of Zurich is this gem of event dining. I had reserved a table for two for sunday brunch a read more…

Restaurant Erlibacherhof, Seestrasse, Erlenbach

Oct
2008

17. October 2008

Soccer practice – what else – led me to this place on the Seestrasse. It’s a hotel with a restaurant, which makes a rather functional impression. The dining room is divided into two sections, one with tablecloths for the diners read more…

Restaurant Sonne, Amden

Oct

17. October 2008

What would one do in Amden ? You take 5 healthy men, one real picky gourmet, call it a class reunion and decide to hike to Amden. Due to a sinus infection with a severe bronchitis (used to be called read more…

Gertrudhof, Gertrudstrasse, Zurich

Oct
2008

14. October 2008

The Gertrudhof is another one of the dark and not so certain what to expect swiss local eateries. Sporting around 30 seats and a expatfree, no non-swiss clientele you get the idea of the type of place this is. Their 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.
