Food Guide Altstetten

Altstetten is up an coming, so i decided it's time for a closer look around. Here you find my favourite restaurants: 

One well know Swiss known cooking magazine is called Marmite. Said magazine also runs a cantine. If you think, well a cantine won't bring me to Altstetten, then maybe i should use the term bistro. In shoirt: It's very good!

Whenever the word «Tacos» crosses my mind, i get distracted... where were we? Right La Taqueria: Great tacos, lovely venue, nice staff and great food.

Seven is a magic number and fitting for the Samurai Sieben (sieben meaning seven in German). Most likely the best sushi locale in town (certainly amongst the top seven).

Before the two owners opened Akaraka, they were opera singers. The name of their restaurant means «With music and joy we become one». So nice. The venue is a bit plain but the food is spectacular. My suggestion: Order Dolsot Bibimbap with tofu (or pork). Keep stiring.

No, one Correan isn't enough. Which is why you find Shilla just next to Letzigrund, The restaurant specialises in table BBQ. Do i need to say more?

Is everyone eating burrito or anyone still fancies Kebab? If your answer is a yes, head to Memo! (Or Ayverdi, but that recommendation you'll find in my food guide Oerlikon or Wiedikon - coning soon).

Everyone who loves indoor climbing knows Minimum. I really like the restaurant there. Maybe it's because i'm always very hungry after climbing but the prices are certainly fair and the atmosphere very relaxed. 

If a locale barely changes over 50 years, it can be a sign that everything goes well. Like at Da Angela, a classic, fabulous Italian. I suggest the fresh pasta.

Altestten doesn't have to hide when it comes to pizza. Some of my friends think that Azzurro serves the best pizza in town. I wouldn't go that far but they rank amongst my top 5.

The canteen with the best view? Kantine Hermetschloo. Always worth a visit (usually only open over lunch). Über Mittag immer einen Besuch wert und abends eigentlich auch (sofern etwas läuft). 




Smoothies, salads, soups and sandwiches: At Chez Oskar you find fair-priced and fast lunch offers for gourmand. They try to use as much local ingredients as possible and portions are fair. Almost makes up fpr loosing Labitzke.

At Basislager you keep discovering new talents at Wirtschaft zum Transit new bands. Next to concerts their food is with the trip, especially in summer, when there garden is one of the most relaxed Zurich has to offer.

Talking about terrace: The square of Turbinenhalle  is also very comfortable. And he kitchen keeps up with the atmosphere: fresh and uncomplicated. And Turbinenbräu is just next door.  

I always feel like comin home at Krone: good food, lovely and attentive staff - just missing my mom and dad. And some slippers. 

Monday to Friday Arche Brocki offers two lunch menues. One vegetarian, one with meat. Fair price, good food and you can also buy some furniture afterward. Fab!
