Hi, I'm looking at websites for information on slow food restaurants, but I'm hesitant to approach those kind of establishments to ask for a job as a chef (koch) due to only having basic German presently, I'm a native English speaker. Can anyone recommend me to cafes, restaurants and other food outlets that follow this slow food ethos? I'm moving to Zurich next month and I'm hoping to carry on the working in this area. I am presently trying to improve my German.

Thank you for any advice,

Kerry

Restaurant Greulich might fit the bill (as well as being incredibly tasty...). http://www.greulich.ch/ The website isn't the easiest to navigate, so here's a direct link to their English menu card that goes into a bit of detail about how they source the food, etc. http://www.restaurant-greulich.ch/en...isekarte_e.pdf

I'm not aware of any Slow Food recognised restaurants but you could try looking on slowfood.ch. I know there are quite a few restaurants around here (Kreis 4 and 5) that have that sort of philosophy and most restaurants in Zurich are English speaking to a degree.

I know there are one or 2 English speaking chefs on this forum, try searching and I'm sure you'll find some relevant threads.
