    Why has it taken me so long to find this gem! Great coffee, great service and they have crepes! Oh and I love the gallery walls and charming seats.

    Overall: very delicious and flavorful food, it was pretty easy to walk in and just get a table, though it's very popular and people tend to hang out. Food: I had the croquet monsieur and it was delicious and flavorful. The side salad was also fresh and lightly dressed. Staff: super friendly and very prompt

    This cosy and beautiful cafe is located in the old town. I tried their coffee (my favourite is cappucino), hot chocolate, croissants and vegetarian quiche. And everything was super delicious. Their staff is very friendly and the service is great. (I will recommend to have a reservation before you go.)

    Cute place. Location and view is nice. Inside is quite tight and small - but cozy. The coffee, ginger tea & croissant was good. We went around 11ish on a Tuesday and the service staff seemed to be in rush for lunch so there was a little bit of a wait/delay. No baby-changing-room/station.

    Great dinner! Great value for money. All was outstanding: the vibe, the service, the food. Tried the galette (from the menu) and the sausage with asparagus (special). Loved them. And the French beer Ch’ti paired very well too.

    Busy little French Bistro. Reasonable prices for Zurich standards. Coq au vin at under 30CHF was quite good. Friendly service, English spoken.

    The crepes are really good [we have try the classics, the one with chocolate and the one with lemon and sugar: both of them were super tasty] and the menu offers interesting plates. The check is absolutely reasonable, especially for a city like Zurich, and everything is treated with care and attention to details. The guys of the staff are very kind and smiling: they make you feel really welcome. The venue is a little bit small and it can be quite crowded, however it is possible to reserve a table and eventually it is possible to sit at the counter.

    Great experience and very tasty and fresh food. Liking my breakfast sweet, I went for the Full Breakfast option. Everything was full of flavour, from honey to ham to breads to cheeses. My black coffee was great as well. Prior to coming there for brunch, I read quite a few negative reviews about their staff but decided to take a chance as my focus was the food. Our overall experience was very enjoyable and the staff tending to our needs was very pleasant and helpful. She took a moment to answer our questions and provided some recommendations related to tourist attractions as well as Swiss cuisine restaurants. I would go back there again.

    The coq au vin was to die for, very yummy and a filling portion. The atmosphere was lovely for a calm Saturday night and both people at the service were polite and helpful with recommendations. I will for sure return for more. ☺️

    Super popular breakfast place in the tourist area. They took us without reservation and were quite fast. Food is high quality but not a lot of choice. The staff is nice although very busy.

    A stone throw away from Zurich HB, and a must visit. Their hot chocolate- delicious-not too sweet. Their food- yummy! Especially their lunch menu.

    A very nice cafe right in the heart of Zurich. Cozy with good fresh air as it spans both sides of the building. Also has outside seating facing the river. Pleasant staff, very good service and tasty food prepared with a French flair. We will definitely be eating here again.

    I had a wonderful breakfast here. Nice bread, cheese, meat, juice and coffee. All was very good. The staff was very friendly, and spoke excellent English and provided us with an English menu. The interior is very cozy with fitting and relaxing music.

    Paying serious money for just average taste. Why in the hell is this franzos coffee shop using Prefab dressing while making a good daily fresh dressing (simple French dressing) is a 1 minute job. Convenience is not the answer. Quality is by making simple dishes fresh in the kitchen. Disappointed in the average taste.

    The male staff was kind and welcoming. The food and coffee is delicious and we particularly enjoyed basking in the sun at the outside sitting area while having our brunch. We both had a lovely time 🩵 the crepes are yummy and the portion for the quiche great too.

    Visited two times during a trip to Switzerland. Enjoyed a little breakfast, the lemon pie. After a week I came back and had the best quiche of my life. Will definitely return when I'm in Zurich.

    A cozy french cafe in the old city area of Zürich. The tea is just amazing matching the sweet crepes. Looking forward to being back for a croissant and coffee.

  • 5/5 Jen M. 11 months ago on Google
    Had the excellent tete-a-tete breakfast! Everything tasted great, was fresh, and presented beautifully! Came back the next day for a Croque Monsieur and Salmon Tartine, also delicious!

  • 1/5 Olga M. 2 months ago on Google • 7 reviews New
    Be ready, if you order 2 mins after 11.00, you will not be able to have a breakfast anymore. Basically, you cannot order food from 11 to 11.30. Which is okay, but I would expect you are told so when you enter cafe at 10.57 and either suggested to make an order fast or you at least staff is being nice and suggests you a coffee of cake while waiting.

    Great tasting coffee not too bitter. The simple breakfast was just what we fancied. A delicious butter croissant (the best I've had in Switzerland) with fresh bread, jam honey and butter. All of it was high quality the jam was full of fruit and the honey yummy.

  • 5/5 Renan L. 3 years ago on Google
    Good meal and friendly staff. Strongly recommend the Quiche Lorraine with salad.

  • 5/5 Lester C. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely breakfast place with food service. The coffee is strong and I like it. Try the eggs with bacon.

  • 5/5 Tash Ter B. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing food and the best service. Great location with a wonderful view over the water and a very cozy atmosphere inside. Also nice tables outside.

  • 5/5 Jin C. 1 year ago on Google
    Cozy atmosphere, nice breakfast menu, delicious coffee, friendly staff...Everything was perfect! In particular, croissants (butter & chocolate) are crispy on the outside but moist on the inside (perfect combination!)♥️

  • 5/5 Lars H. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place with really good croissants and pain au chocolat. Highly recommended.

    My Favorite french Bistro in Zurich. And in Winter they make a Coque au Vin 😍 And the Desserts are just fabulous!

  • 5/5 Vikram R. 2 years ago on Google
    Superb little gem in Old town Zurich. We were served Fresh Croissants and coffee everyday. Great place to visit if you are in a mood of light breakfast.
