Helvetiaplatz Market Zurich – Fresh food and local chats

""Helvetiaplatz Market" Zurich is the place to go to if you want to see locals rummaging through gorgeous fruit & veggies and waffling to the local butcher."

If you want to see Zürich locals rummaging through gorgeous fruit and vegetables and waffling to the local butcher, this is the place to head to. You need to be up early to get all of the best produce, but it's definitely worth it.

The emphasis here is on regional produce of exceptional quality. Most of the stalls are run by local farmers who have been coming here for years, and they are happy to share their recipes, tips and food advice. I have a special soft spot for 'Lilli and Franc's' Italian stall. Here, they sell amazing cured meats, cheeses and pasta. You really can't beat their Parma ham and mortadella.

It's not as cheap as the supermarket, but it is far more inspiring and fun to mingle and get involved. When I'm feeling less flush, I just grab a seat at one of the cafés on the square and soak up the atmosphere.

Riff Raff – Bar, bistro & cinema for enthusiasts

"Riff Raff" Zurich is the cinema I go when I'm tired of over-marketed Hollywood blockbuster movies. It's the main hub for independent, non-mainstream films.

BIMI – Japanese restaurant

"BIMI" in Zurich is a restaurant with a simple and unpretentious environment; its luxury lies in the flavor. For a main course I recommend the beef filet.
