This was a fantastic dining experience. “Only 5- stars on the food”, should be in context of price/value compared to other 2 star restaurants in Europe, and how we liked the overall tasting menu. It was great, but the main dish of the night was a bit too experimental for our taste. We have to come back though… However, our waiter basically recommended us another option which we didn’t take. The service was nothing but phenomenal, fantastic crew, and the head chef Mr Stefan Heilemann was very present throughout the night, in addition, very knowledgeable and present sommelier, and the head of desserts was also very present. The evening started with a blanc-de-blanc champagne per advice of our waiter, and followed by two fantastic amuse-bouche servings. We had the tasting menu, and they basically advised us to be open to 5, 6 or 7 dishes depending on our appetite for the evening. Very flexible. Thanks to the staff for this great evening! 💫
Visited Widder restaurant in December 2022.
Overall it was a nice experience but it was definitely not mind blowing. The food and service were good, but it was lacking personality and the special aspect you are expecting from such place. There are better fine dining 1 or 2 Michelin stars restaurants in Zurich (Orsini, the Counter or EquiTable for example).
Incredible fine dining experience in Zurich Switzerland I highly recommend! Each course was incredibly flavourful and perfectly balanced with the following courses, the mocktails were also delicious I highly recommend!
Simply the best restaurant in Switzerland. It's the first place I've been where the food is vibrant and fresh without being swissified. Great Asian influences. Great service.
One of the best 2-star Michelin experiences we’ve ever had! Very unpretentious and down to earth food coupled with great service makes this a winner. The ability to select how many courses- we chose 4- versus 5 or 6, was also a huge delight as we find ourselves struggling at times when you’re facing the 18th course.
If I had a critique, it would be the presentation of the Wagyu- very unappetizing when it came out- I should have stayed with the venison.
Also, quite the treat- Chef Stefan personally came out and delivered a course and talked us through it. A true honor.
I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the wine pairing- it was perfect the entire way through. The final desert wine was simply stunning as well.
If our travels bring us back to Zurich, we hope to dine here again.
