I suggest to publish here all the shops, bars, restaurants with Eastern European specialties in Switzerland.

Some links to start:

Please add the others.

Zurich city: Bulgarian strudelhaus Poushe has several outlets, stalls and cafes across town. Very good. They all speak English.

Geneva Festival has started today. As always, you can taste very good Russian vodka and pelmenis (dumplings with meat) at the Russian Café .

Pelmeni, sour cucumbers and Green Mark vodka are really good. Tasted today.

From now on it is possible to find Romanian delights, such as: brânză de burduf, caşcaval, telemea, salam de vara, kaiser, costiţă afumată; Romanian wines: Murfatlar, Muscat Otonel, Rai de Murfatlar, Sec de Mur, Cotnari Iaşi, Grasă de Cotnari, Busuioacă de Bohotin, Lacrima lui Ovidiu. You can buy these and many other Romanian, Polish and Russian products in the heart of the Old Carouge at the shop "La Perla", Rue St-Victor 4, 1227 Carouge.

no wonder they were confused when I asked where the Lingerie section was

This?

Branza dulce??

That is not what I'm looking for . But it is good to know that I can find something romanian here!

They have also Telemea

San Galler Schueblig,Buendner Fleisch ,Appenzeller Chaess.Eastern food you ask for

I know what you want, but you are not going to find it here...The Hungarian tehén túró (branza dulce de vaci) is the closest in taste I came across with, so far.
Try some Hungarian grocery store, they might have it.

Ah, and sometimes they might have the Slovak brynzda, close to our "branza de burduf". (with a less vigorous taste)

Russian Cuisine days in Lancy

Do you know any Hungarian grocery shop in Switzerland? There was one in Zürich but I don't think it still exists.

If you buy the Slovak Bryndza from a proper farmer then it should have the bite (or get some Slovaks to bring you some). The stuff they sell in the stores is generally mixed with cow cheese to save on costs. We just brought back a couple of kilo's from Slovakia, bought from the loval farmer, and it makes the hairs on your arm stand when you eat it - not to mention the people whom you speak to the next half day.

Even the supermarket stuff is an acquired taste. I rather like it. That and some proper country garlic soup and a Saris 11 (or Kofola if you want to keep you head)

I rather liked the country

If you and your friends are ever looking for a Czech restaurant in Bern, and if someone is not willing to go unless they can have something Australian, this is the place for you.

I think I will try it out tomorrow as I will be in Bern. Now: Czech or Australian? Where are the owners from?

Does anyone happen to know a Polish restaurant in Zurich? I just feel like "nalesniki" badly

nalesniki is like 'crepes' isn't it? So it really shouldn't be hard to find.
