We were looking for an affordable restaurant in Zürich, which was very hard to find but lo behold we found this gem in the city center. This place is mostly for locals and has lots of communal seating. It’s louder than the typical restaurant but we did go late at night around 9:30 so there was not really a lot of noise at this time and we were seated immediately. The waitress was super friendly and attentive. The menu selection is great. As I said, the prices are amazing for Zürich. Beer came out nice and cold and beautiful glasses. The food was amazing probably some of the best we had on our trip. I love the local famous dish of the veal and mushroom and cream sauce with rosti. This was just spectacular. I could not order it at any other restaurant because I knew it would not live up to the one I had here. My husband got the schnitzel with the rosti with a melted cheese and Lardon on top and also a side of the pepper gravy sauce, which was very delicious. Overall, an amazing meal at a great price in the city center. We would definitely go here over a lot of other famous beer halls in the city.
We arrived in Zurich on a Sunday and found that most of the shops near our hotel were closed. After walking a little further, we came across this restaurant and decided to give it a try. The staff were very friendly, welcoming, and provided excellent service throughout our meal. We ordered the Cordon Bleu with fries, which was crispy on the outside and paired very well with the melted cheese inside. We also tried the veal sausage with rösti. The sausage was flavorful and enjoyable, although the rösti was a little too salty for our taste. The minced meat with macaroni was also tasty, but similarly on the salty side.
Overall, the restaurant offers reasonable prices, good food, and friendly service. It is a nice option if you are looking for a meal in Zurich.
Probably the best choice if you’re looking for authentic, traditional Swiss food in the center of Zurich with a good price-to-quality ratio.
The menu offers a wide variety of options, and many of them are definitely worth trying. We had two different rösti (one with bacon, cheese, and egg; the other with egg, cheese, and vegetables) for 18.50 CHF each, and one cordon bleu with cheese spätzle (25.50 CHF). All portions were very generous, and the food was good. The highlight was the cordon bleu. The rösti were okay, but nothing mind-blowing, I’ve had better.
All in all, it’s a nice place for a relaxed lunch. It feels very authentic and rustic, it’s packed with locals, and the staff is very friendly. Also, considering the highly touristy area and the portion sizes, the prices are very reasonable by Zurich standards. Definitely a solid choice!
I was recommended this place by a friend who studied in Zurich, and it did not disappoint! The prices were very affordable!
The service was good, with servers who spoke English, which made ordering easy.
The food was quite tasty overall. I highly recommend the schnitzel and the pork knuckle, which was huge. The sausage, however, was a bit too soft for my taste.
Enjoyed it so much we went back twice on our four day trip. Really enjoyed the bratwurst, and the schnitzel was also solid, not greasy at all and perfectly fried.
Great local feel and beer choices. Sit outside and take the people watching. look forward to going back on my next visit.
