Love this place. It’s a nice little place where the staffs are super friendly and the food are very nice. Our favorite dishes were the Alpenrose salad and the venison dish (unfortunately we didn’t have photos of them). The space were absolutely gorgeous, an old building that they preserved quite nicely. The long standing establishment shows in the culture of the people. We found out later that they were working closely with the “Arbeitskette project”, supposedly a project helping integration of community members.
Small and quaint place to grab a delicious meal. Everything from the service to the food was universally excellent. Easy to get to as well since it's located right by the #13 tram.
The staff were really pleasant and helpful. Food was delicious. The locall beer as recommended by our waitress was lovely. A bit expensive but definitely worth it for some authentic Swiss food.
Terrific restaurant. I'm delighted. The food was good and the service friendly and positive (especially the project of the 'Arbeitskette'). The meals look good in the photos, but also in reality. I do recommend it highly. I'll be back.
OK, this is not a short review, so please bear with me. I went from Ireland to Switzerland on a very low budget holiday, and of course, I wanted to try the traditional Swiss food. So, I asked around, and a guy recommended this restaurant. I went there and I was blown away with an old fantastic style, it's like a time machine. I asked for Fondue but they didn't have it, I was disappointed BUT, they had a very good reason to not offer it, that's because the Fondue will create steam that would damage the old paintings in the restaurant, I have a huge passion to history and art and I totally understand their point. The waitress told us that the restaurant was opened in the 30s by three ladies.
After that, I decided to order juice and a main course only because of my limited budget...Dylan the waiter recommended a lovely exclusive drink made from natural ingredients in the house, he also recommended the special beef dish on the day. Dylan's recommendations were spot on. The juice was so refreshing, and you can feel the unique taste of Swiss ingredients. The beef dish was lovely, my sister enjoyed it. I ordered another beef dish with risotto, and it was so creamy.
So, if you're looking for a unique lifetime experience to go back in time to the 1930s, then this is the place for you for sure. I couldn't take many photos inside because there were families eating, and I wanted to respect their privacy. I also couldn't take many photos of the dishes because of the candlelight and I really wanted to enjoy my time with my sister rather than taking photos... I couldn't order more than the juice and main dish because I couldn't afford more. But, you can save a bit of extra money and order a full meal with three courses.
You might think it's an expensive restaurant, but it's a journey to the Swiss history and culture of Switzerland. The staff were amazing and they treated us very well. Although, I was sad that they did not offer Fondue, they respectfully explained why they can't have it on the menu. I highly recommend this restaurant.
