The definition of a two stars Michelin restaurant is: A restaurant worth a detour, indicating excellent cuisine and skillfully and carefully crafted dishes of outstanding quality. Rico's does not deserve even 1 star. It has been one of the worst food experiences we've had in a while, the kind you need to order a McDonald's burger after only to cleanse your palette and get full again. 1. There is nothing special about the cuisine (menu attached), with most dishes carrying no excitement, no additional new experience, no new story to tell with their ingredients. We initially ordered the full menu, as we do in Michelin places but after the first 2 dishes we asked to have the 3rd dish as the last one so we can leave as soon as possible. 2. The ambiance and decor is kitch and unkept (some pictures attached). The inside was not open to the public so we sat in the garden. The tables and chairs are cheap wicker with some accents of Bolivian-like pillows, making it look like you are in a cheap patio somewhere. 3. The staff is lazy and unorganized. No one walked us to the table, they served people who came after us first, we had to ask for everything twice, like getting some bread, the wine menu, like having water poured in our glasses, like getting the check. If you value your money, good service and good food you will be making yourself a service to stay away from this place.

This restaurant looked better on the website. More funky and cool, however, in reality, it was more like a modern Michelin star restaurant. The service was excellent but very cold. We did not connect with anyone. The wine selection was wide and there was a very knowledgeable sommelier. The food was nice for the price but no surprise. We honestly expected more.

Superb! We had an excellent evening here. The tasting menu was delicious and creative and included things like duck liver ice cream. Our waiter was fun and attentive.

It's always a pleasure to go to Rico's, the food is amazing and the staff is very friendly and the chef comes by to ask you how are things in a very happy and friendly manner. The only complain I have is with the terrasse décoration, it's a bit weird and seems out of place, they tried to do something nice and Avantgarde but from my point of view it did not came out well, anyway it's a joy to be at Rico's.

This is not a 2 star michelin, but a 2 star restaurant. I have never had such a horrible experience from the entry through an empty restaurant, to water dripping on our table and on our foods and ending with the server asking for a tip after being rude to my fiance. the food was totally meh with the only good thing being the duck liver. shrimp was clearly overcooked, but they did not seem to care. When we asked for explanation about the food we were treated with superiority and arrogance. Something must be wrong with the Michelin guide..

Liked it but not loved it. It is definitely a 2* Michelin rest. The service was great, ambiance cozy. There was one course none of us liked (husban/me) (the cheese cannolo), hope they remove it from the menu. The best part was the soup and when Rico himself came out to salute the guests in person. This is a great experience to have had, but one time was enough for me.

Great food, steep price! I miss Barcelona where you can get a 10-course Michelin Star menu for the price of 2 a la carte dishes here in Switzerland. In all honesty, I don’t taste the difference between a 2 star here and many one star Michelin restaurants in Barcelona. Next time I will take a flight south. all said, this is Switzerland, so you are expected to dig deeper into your wallet. The only negative part of the meal was the final pot of tea for me. Come on, given this is a 2 star Michelin, you are not telling me you don’t know the fine art of serving a pot of tea. Change your tea pots urgently!!! Then go visit your compatriots of 2 stars in Asia. Neither the pot nor the tea deserves any star.

Excellent service made us feel comfortable throughout the whole evening. The food was exquisite both in flavor and presentation

Extraordinary and excellent evening at Rico's. We really enjoyed it.. great pleasure.

We were having bad luck with food in London and Zurich completely changed the tone. Rico’s was absolutely fabulous, both the meal and service! There was miscommunication between our concierge and the restaurant about our reservation but were able to accommodate us. Thank you Rico’s!

We had dinner with my friends in this restaurant some weeks ago. The visit left us quite unsatisfied, and I feel it's important to share my experience honestly. Read this review if you want to avoid the same harsh experience! While the ambiance and service were okay, I cannot overlook the significant issue we encountered after dining here. Unfortunately, a few hours after my meal, we experienced severe digestive discomfort, and it was evident that the food was the reason, since three of us had the same issue for consecutive 3 days. This was quite disappointing and uncomfortable, to say the least. Moreover, after contacting the restaurant with an official letter stating this issue, no answer was received from their side. Honestly, it was the worst dining experience in my life. The restaurant where we spent almost 1000 CHF should have food of better quality than this. This is absolutely unacceptable and looks like a joke. We will make sure to inform our immediate circles, including family, friends, colleagues, and social networks about our suffering and be sure that none of them in the future visit this place, to avoid wasting money and damaging their health. I believe it's essential for a restaurant to prioritize the quality and safety of the food they serve to their customers. The fact that we experienced gastrointestinal issues shortly after dining here raises concerns about food safety and preparation! I hope that can take this feedback seriously and take steps to ensure the well-being of their patrons. We won't be returning to dine here until we are confident that such issues have been addressed.

Brilliant food! Michelin stars well earned as this is creative dining that can be limited in Zurich. The staff complement the food well & my 8 wine pairing with the degustation was the perfect match.

When we first arrived we were somewhat confused by the entrance, as we tried to open the front door, which was locked. It was only here that we realised this restaurant had been granted two Michelin Stars. When we walked back around to the little garden, staff seemed rather stressed and unorganised which continued throughout the evening. Decor consisted of fake flowers on the table and fake ferns as bushes. Bread arrived after our amuse bouche and the wine pour was so stingy we thought it was just the amount given to tase the wine. My partner and I decided to go for a different set of dishes, however our waitress got confused and thought we wanted everything twice. We later managed to correct this. The food itself was delicious. Especially the Foie Gras dish is a must try here. We loved the gazpacho and the pigeon dish too. Cooking pigeon like that requires some true skill, as it is such a lean meat. We would have also loved to try a dessert but service was so slow we figured we'd rather get the bill and head home. Over all, this place is not worth it. It doesn't have a particularly nice view and decor is cheap, service is slow and confused, and the food isn't good enough for me to believe this place really has two Michelin Stars.
