If you ever wanted to sell your own food, or food specialities from your own country in central Zurich, we may have a cost effective solution for you. From September there will be some changes at the Markthalle im Viadukt on Limmatstrasse and some tables will be available to rent, either by the day or up to 6 days a week.

Table rents start at 50.00 SFR a day all inclusive. Note though that you will need a food handling license and the complexity of these varies depending on if you are just selling on pre-packed goods or actually making and handling fresh foods (speak to your local Gemeinde to find out who handles these in your area).

We are looking for high quality speciality foods, especially if they are hard to find in Zurich such as good French Paté, or Spanish hams and Chorizo, you will be more likely to be given a table if you can illustrate how you and your products can benefit the market as a whole by bringing in new customers. You cannot sell hot food to eat, only food and ingredients to take home.

Please send me a PM with your ideas and/or questions.

I can give a bit more info now..... it's 99% certain that we (British Cheese Centre) will be moving to the island at the front of the market by the front doors and the Oyster bar (the main island in the photo below) so it's a prime position and it will be our responsibility to bring in some new people to fill the space.

Please PM me with ideas as we still have some space free on most days.

Mmh, cheese and oysters... You won't get anyone wanting to go any further

Congratulations on the move and the high responsibility you have been entrusted to shoulder by the Swiss. Will you now have enough space near your stand for the 200+ EF'ers nibbling at your cheese while chatting about people who talk about the telly, hairy women or other hot topics of the forum?

The 1st birthday of the market is coming up, and I will make an event for this (it'll be a big party on Friday 2nd September until about midnight...) and I will announce all the changes coming on the relevant Viadukt thread.... but one change that is almost certain is that a load of Stamtisch tables will be installed in between our new stall and the front windows so you can buy food from anywhere in the market to eat with a glass of wine or beer (inc. Rappi Gold) from any of the bars. It's something that we have been pressing for and we're glad they have listened.

So, back on topic.... this island will be busy and we need some more products and stall holders. Over to you!

Yay, a party on a Friday! Have pencilled it in!

This is one change I am super-happy about. There's so much nice food there--hot pies, Poushe's strudels, Italian flat-bread sandwiches, sushi from Braschler's--and I thought it was a terrible oversight to not have some tables free for people to sit and eat whatever they have bought at the stalls. Good for you for pushing and good for PWC for heeding.

Otherwise, it's nice to see how the whole Viadukt has changed since it's inception. I like the addition of Sibler when Musis went bust, and I also like the Oxfam-style charity shops run by Caritas with vintage fashion at the Hardbruecke end of the Viadukt--I snapped up an Armani pencil skirt there the other day.
