Zurich Dining Out Guide 2009
As a confirmed user of the Zurich Dining Out Guide, I was delighted to discover that there is a new version out for 2009.
On sale as from yesterday, the guide costs CHF 26 which seems like a good investment to me.
Looking through my review copy the biggest changes seem to be the new “organic” section, and the addition of a map. The latter is particularly useful if you are planning to meet somebody, and would like to eat in a quality restaurant nearby.
The guide covers a large number of categories, including: organic, Italian, mediterranean, Asian and, of course, Swiss.
The format is clean and stylish, one page per restaurant, with attractive photos and useful information, including whether restaurants are fully wheelchair friendly.
As you’d expect, information for each eatery covers opening times, location and prices; for various courses as well as for wines by the glass and bottle.
A helpful introduction provides a restaurant vocabulary in German, and a few essential phrases to get you through the meal. If you’re new to Swiss food, there’s an explanation of the major culinary highlights too.
There are over 1000 restaurants in Zurich, and it’s great to have a bit of help with choosing one, so if you’re looking for a guide to some of the best restaurants in the city, look no further.
The 2009 edition has been completely reworked, and of the 100 or so restaurants covered, approximately 20% are new to the guide.
And if you’ve ever been stuck for ideas for gifts, the book would make a great Christmas or birthday present for a friend or loved one that either lives in, or plans to visit, Zurich.
