A lovely speakeasy with great drinks: The Blind Pig (22. May 2022)
The Blind Pig is a Speakeasy which you should absolutely book in advance. The place is hidden and easy to find if you know how. Basically, you have to look for the Restaurant Pacino’s …
… walk in and follow the “shhh” sign …
… and push the little piggies head to the left and the bookshelf, which is really a door, will open.
Once you’re inside and brought to your table, you get to order your drinks in that former wine cellar. I started out with a “Dryad (cucumber gin, blanc rum, herbal elixir, ancho chili, hedgerow tincture, fennel and cucumber soda)” (EUR 13.00) which was quite decent but nothing mind-blowing.
The “D.C Swanson (apple brandy, peated Irish whiskey, blackcurrant, beetroot caramel, apple balsamic, sea salt)” (EUR 13.00) I went for after was rather enjoyable though. The combination of flavours was definitely an interesting one, but it was also a delicious one.
The staff is super friendly and relaxed, emitting a positive and enjoyable vibe. To sum it up, it’s not the best speak easy I have been to, but it’s definitely a lovely place which I can recommend you to visit if you’re looking for a good drink in an interesting atmosphere.

I started the blog in October 2009, while living in Milan which I definitely consider to be one of the food capitals of the world. I was in touch with food since my early childhood (as my father is a former chef). Whenever I can, I travel the world to discover new places, to meet people but mostly to try local dishes and to find hidden gems! If you know a place worth going, please drop a line to: info@thediningexperience.org.
Currently, I am a member of the following food-related associations: Chevalier @Chaîne des Rôtisseurs Zurich-Ville; Membre Gourmet Dégustateur @Ordre Mondial des Gourmets Dégustateurs [OMGD]; Gesellschafter @Goldener Fisch and Member @Slowfood Convivium Zurich City.
