    We arrived at around 5:30 pm at the restaurant, after I have called to make a booking to secure us a table as we have just arrived from the airport famished and they were the only restaurant on google maps with a selective all day menu that could satisfy our hunger. Upon our arrival, the garden area was almost empty and our waiter wanted us to sit directly under the hot burning sun, even though there were various of empty tables under the shade of which he claimed were “reserved” Once we chose a table the first thing he said before welcoming is was “you need to eat in 20 minutes because I have people coming for this table” I don’t think any Swiss cuisine accepts to treat its customers in such a racist manner! If a restaurant only wants to serve Swiss customers they should have a sign out front to indicate so instead of treating the tourists in a poorly and unwelcoming manner! Honestly we ate as fast as we could and left immediately. The fries were ridiculously salted and the ice tea was tasteless. I don’t recommend this place nor do I intend to visit again.

    Fancy place and while the appetizers were average, main course were super delicious with decent portions. Risotto with tiger prawns is pretty awesome.

    We went for lunch and had a risotto and ravioli. The Risotto was a little too raw for my taste (it was harder then al dente) but okay. The seafood was very good! Sadly the bread was really dry but the oil was great. My ravioli were okay but I would have been so happy to have at least half a tomato on my plate, not tiny little pieces that would hardly make 1/4 of a tomato.

    I had birthday brunch in Terrasse, we loved it 💓 The interior is beautiful, the view outside is also great. The egg benedict was perfection itself!

    Beautiful restaurant, with elegant interiors and a picturesque garden for outdoor dining. The menu is full of Italian and French classics, and it’s difficult to chose. On this warm summer night, the atmosphere was bustling and warm, with jazz music wafting across the river from another bar. We enjoyed the service, although the staff seemed slightly overwhelmed with the high level of patronage and perhaps they were a bit understaffed. Our waiter was very friendly and polite nonetheless. For a typical Zurich garden dining experience, in the heart of the city, this is a must-do experience.

    Beautiful location, delicious food, a very large variety of drinks to chose from (wines, single malts, rums, etc), kind personnel. A Nice experience for all senses.

    For a drink in a central location in Zurich, this restaurant and bar is a good option. Whether inside or outside on a busy street when the weather is nice, you'll find both here. The drinks are good. The staff seem to be very busy as you sometimes have to wait a long time to be served. They seem to make an effort and certainly seem friendly.

    A must in summer! Staff is super friendly and the atmosphere is so nice, especially in the evening - I suggest you make a reservation. Food is delicious, but on the pricey side.

    Lovely outdoor garden with great service. From our meal, we loved the risotto with scallops and tuna ceviche. The summer salad was fresh, and the lamb entrecote was quite average in comparison to everything else. Would love to come back and try their other dishes! Update September 2023: Came back to Terrasse and it was even better than the last time, so upgrading this to 5 stars. We had the salmon ceviche, seasonal salad, risotto with pork, truffle pasta, tuna steak and lemon pie and coffee trifle for dessert. Service was still amazing!

    Stumbled upon this spot first time in Zurich and the service and food were excellent. Entrecôte was delicious and had excellent service from our Czech waiter. After a long several week trip in Europe, it offered some of the best food if not the best we have tried. Will stop by again.

    A gear place to go for a spontaneous drink and bite to eat. Centrally located with a view of the Limmat. Nicely decorated . Extensive bar menu. Can be busy on weekends but a cool vibe .

  • 5/5 Noel G. 11 months ago on Google
    We had an excellent meal with top service from Sasha our waiter. We started with the frito misto and tuna tartare. Both were delicious. Followed by veal ravioli and truffle tagliatelle. Light, flavorful, and delicious! The atmosphere is beautiful and matches the high quality food. Would definitely recommend.

    It's a lovely garden/Terrasse however the salad was average, they lack any fresh juices and have very limited selection of non alcoholic drinks.

  • 5/5 Marin L. 11 months ago on Google
    Perfect location to lunch outside not far from the lake. The tuna tartare was basic and the gaspacho with garlic...

    Good food, entrecôte café de Paris was fantastic.. the pommes allumettes as well. Good service at the restaurant, service at the bar rather slow. Overall good setting and nice dinner.

    Nice garden for Sunday brunch, but make sure to reserve in advance! The truffle omelette was really good.

    Was here for the River Bar. It’s a chill outdoor place for a sunny day. It has the river view as well. They have several unique cocktail, one of them is Blue Moon (that tastes like Pepsi Blue but with no soda- can barely taste alcohol in this drink) and also Drunk Rabbit that was made of Rum and mix or carrot and some stuff. For both drinks I will rate as 4/5. It’s unique but not my favorite.

    Vegan options: betroot gnocchi and avocado fritters. Very nice setting and service level. Not outstanding food in proportion to the pricing.

    Great hidden garden in Zurich. Located close to the city and directly on the river it's easy to find and surprisingly beautiful!

  • 5/5 Astrid C. 1 year ago on Google
    It couldn't be more downtown. Nice bar ambiance. I like the spacious room given by the high ceiling with its playful interaction of glass, brass and golden framed paintings on midnight blue walls and ceilings. A bit of one thousand and one nights, a touch of that grand upper class life celebrated on long ago gone ocean liners. Attentive swift and friendly service. They have nice drinks with narrative names such as "Not far from Costa Rica". Loved it - both the drink itself and the presentation of it.
