I’m Thien Lan and like your typical Asian girl you can’t start a meal before I’ve had a picture of each dish! Sounds familiar? Well it’s now for you to enjoy and discover new yummy restaurants around Zurich. I’m a Parisian born Vietnamese who arrived in Zurich, Switzerland last August after having spent 11 years of my life in Sydney, Australia. I’m married to a French man and lots of my friends are in France so you’ll also see reviews of restaurants there. In fact you’d call me a woman rather than a girl as I’m on the other side of the mid thirties and am a mum! So unlike other food blogs like therealpickygourmet.com written by what it seems like a bachelor with a great sense of humour (love the analogy between “vegetarism” and sex with a condom), you will also find kids friendly places in here. I might also expand log posts beyond food with some thoughts about parenting, home decor, fashion, and perhaps music (well I play Singstar, Rock band and some piano).

Pinocchio s Fischsuppe

Pinocchio, Spanish restaurant in Dubendorf (near Zurich)

Posted by Thien Lan on November 26, 2014January 15, 2015 in Food, Near Dubendorf, Restaurant Review

This is our absolute favourite as it’s yummy, cosy and close to home. You’d expect an Italian restaurant with this name and front but it’s a delicious Spanish restaurant. If you like garlic, you’ll love their cuisine. We’ve been 3…

Pyramids, Egyptian restaurant in Zurich

Posted by Thien Lan on November 19, 2014January 15, 2015 in Food, Restaurant Review

Occasion: We went there for lunch with my husband. The reviews on TripAdvisor where pretty good and we were not disappointed. If you’re craving middle eastern food in the Zurich area, this is one good place to go. It’s conveniently…
