Street Food Festival Zurich

Summer 2019

16th May to 16th June

You know Summer is approaching when the Zurich Street Food Festival is in full swing! An important part of the FOOD Zurich series of events, this bustling and busy outdoor and indoor happening takes place in the extensive grounds at Hardturmstrasse and continues for two weeks beyond the closing date of the FOOD Zurich. From Bao Buns to curries, from stir fries to burgers, there is something for everyone. And if you just fancy going for a drink there are plenty of bars too.

So with all the stalls on offer, where to start? Luckily we have Amy here to guide us through some of her list of recommendations …

1. Afghan Anar

I would absolutely like to recommend the Mantu dish by Afghan Anar. Anar, meaning pomegranate, makes each plate look and taste scrumptious with a hint of pomegranate sweetness. Mantu has a nice mix of Afghan masala, lentil sauce and yoghurt which allows it to explode with flavour ( both the meat and vegetarian). In fact, you might be interested to know that they have just opened a restaurant that includes recipes from the Chef’s mother!

2. Gua Bao

The friendly Vietnamese chefs have two fabulous steamed bun options: Pork Belly and Crispy Duck. So, naturally, I had to try both. Both have a wonderful taste and a fabulous crunchiness which is just so enjoyable.

3. El Taco’n de Oro

Just when you think it’s time for dessert, you pass by more amazing food stalls. Mexican Cuisine is slowly shining its light into the Zurich scene: pulled chicken, pork, vegetarian and vegan.

4. Yemen Express

Now, dessert! The Yemen Express Food Stall has been sharing their delicious crispy, yet fluffy dough called Malawach for about 4 years at different Festival Points and they never disappoint! This sociable Israeli team shows excitement in sharing their mouthwatering vegan and vegetarian treats. The ‘Sweet Vegan’ is highly recommended with sliced banana surrounded by lotus spread topped with coconut flakes. Honestly, amazing!

4. Taucherli Ice Creams

For the extra sweet toothed … this is for you! Cotton candy, black vanilla ice cream and a touch of rainbow sprinkles just because you can! A crazy, yet amazing combination of sweet goodness. Mango Thai, Strawberry and Salty Caramel.

5. Poushe Strudels

And of course, as you step out of the Street Food Festival, you always see the must have ‘next time’ …

Here are a few more photos to give you some impressions on what is on offer:
