    Great place for Sunday brunch after a walk at Brunau! Dog and family friendly. They have an awesome brunch selection, so make sure to get there before 2pm. Usually busy so try to book a table if you’re pressed for time. Great service. Large selection of craft beers!

    I enjoyed this place very much I like the vibe of the restaurant and the staff are very friendly. I love how the upstairs is very child friendly and that they have a room for the kids to play in. The adults can really sit and enjoy stress free while the kids can have fun. The food is also very good. I ordered the lamb burger without the bun and it was cooked to my liking and very flavourful. I also tried the buffalo wings which were also very tasty. Definitely come check this place out it is worth a try.

    Really nice presentation and pretty big portions. The staff make an effort to speak a few words in everyone's native language and they are very bubbly to boot. We had a variety of brunch options and I can honestly say they were all tasty and different.

    The chicken burger was really good and the service quite fast. I'd only suggest to lower the music: if you sit under the speaker, you might have issues even listening to your friends.

    Love this place, especially in the summer. It's a nice farmhouse converted into a restaurant with an American inspired menu including delicious burgers and a Philadelphia Cheesesteak (rare in ZH)! The weekend brunch menu is fantastic with classics such as pancakes, eggs benedict and even a full English breakfast. The outdoor area is very cosy and had a little playground for kids. Staff is super friendly. Make sure to reserve ahead as it gets full.

    I love their brunch menu. I have always enjoyed it here. The food is well prepared and delicious. There are times that I felt the food could be a bit more warmer. For instance, on my last visit, I ordered the toast with eggs and chorizo, with tomato sauce. While the dish itself was delicious, the tomato sauce was cold and felt like it was out of a can. The hot chocolate we ordered was also neither hot nor warm, rather lukewarm. I followed it up with an Irish coffee which was spot on!! All dishes come with a side of potato wedges which are wholesome. The service is good, but could be better. The orders were mixed up between tables a couple of times. We did not have a reservation and the restaurant was kind enough to seat us. The restaurant in itself has a nice charm to it.

    Nice place to have brunch. The food itself is not amazing, but not too bad either. Its clear by the time they need to bring it that most dishes are made in advance and held warm. This is made up by the friendly staff, good atmosphere, and the nice terasse area.

    The service was very good as the food came quickly and the waiters were very friendly. The presentation of the food was amazing. I think it’s very creative that they serve their food on cutting boards as I have never seen a restaurant do that. The portions were really generous and the price was good too (Switzerland is a pretty expensive country anyway) we payed 152 for 4 people. I defiantly recommend this place.

    Nice restaurant with great food. We had the fish and chips and the Philly cheese steak. Having lived in Philly, we know Philly cheese steaks. This one is really good! Definitely authentic and the bread is great. Fish and chips also very good. Nice breading! The beer selection is very nice. The outside seating is very nice if you go on a nice night or days.

    Fork & Bottle offers a good range of options for those looking to enjoy an American style brunch on the weekend. Located at the edge of town, the restaurant is surrounded by lovely greenery which you may enjoy from their patio if the weather allows for it. Overall the food is good. The balance between quality, quantity, and price is more than fair. Portions are generous and you won’t leave hungry, but in the other hand, you won’t be blown away by the quality either. Fork & Bottle overall delivers on the expectations and provides a proper American brunch. The restaurant is spacious, so it’s good for larger groups as well. Also, it’s quite kid friendly, without turning into a playground. The nearby public parking is limited to 4 hours even on Sundays, however, that’s still enough time for you to have a nice stroll along the river after your meal.

    Excellent bruch in a chilled and relaxed athmosphere. The service was quick and our waitress was super nice and smiling. The food was really tasty: we tried the French Toast, the Buttermilk Pancakes and the Pulled Pork Eggs Benedict, which was absolutely fantastic!! 5 super deserved stars.

  • 3/5 JP M. 7 months ago on Google • 84 reviews
    We had a nice Brunch there. Really love the ambience. The reason why its only a 4 star review is, I had an Acai bowl which was basically cereals with yoghurt. An Acai is something totally different! Also the price is way too much if there is no Acai in it

    Amazing staff! Great coffee and yummy food (still room for improvement, though *dry potatoes*, hence the 4 stars), and perfect for families with children. There is a separate floor for families, which is appreciated for groups without children, as well as for parents who are afraid of disturbing others. Great changing/ nursing room

    I’ve gone to this restaurant for a brunch with friends and it’s been a very good experience - coffee tastes great (they also have a non-lactose choice with oatmilk), the food was really good also, and enjoyed the drinks too. I’ve had an avocado smash with a poached egg that I would definitely recommend, tasted their cappuccino and also a homemade ice tea. I’d definitely recommend the place to others, feels very vibrant, cosy and people speak English also, which helped given we’re expats.

    Probably the best burger I had in Zurich so far. The portions are just perfect, not too big certainly not too small. As a tip: they have an awesome local beer selection, and really could recommend us a beer based on our preferences. Definitely worth a visit during winter, but even more during summer, since they have a very nice beer garden

  • 5/5 Amanda M. 1 year ago on Google
    Fork and Bottle is a little taste of American heaven. Hahaha I don't know if that's true but it just felt right, you know? Anyway, they have plenty of seating inside but the real winner is all the lovely outside seating next to a massive park. They pride themselves on their craft beer, and they do have a lot of fun options - just be careful, some are really pricey! I always stick with the general Feldschlösschen on draft, even though I can't properly pronounce it. That might not even be the beer I order... anywaaaay! Their menu changes each season, but I've always been a big fan of their sweet potato fries. Their curries have also been nice, and same with their soups and salads. For a while I'd also just go crazy and order their big nachos with jack fruit - those are always yummy. Their brunch is great too. Their avocado toast is yummy along with their burrito. We've also had their mushroom toast which was good too! If you get Theresa as your waitress you're in for a treat, she's a gem. :D

    We've been to Fork & Bottle a few times, and we've never been disappointed. Good food, good service, good beer, and a nice setting. The landlord is also a good laugh. The food is good, and tastes as good as it looks in the photos. The breakfast burrito in particular is delicious and really filling. The brunch beer selection is OK, if a little small if you're after a boozy brunch. In the summer it is really lovely, but in the winter expect a long wait or a bit of a sad outside table under cover. Fork & Bottle is probably one of the best brunches we've had in Zürich, if you don't mind the travel and a bit of a weird location between the highway and some stables.

    It is a cool place, nice terrace, great beers, good staff. Prices are high and the quality-price ratio may not be the best. In my case I had the slow cooked and smoked ribs, same as other friends. None of us were happy with the quality of the dish. Our opinion was that they were too dry, too smoked and lacking flavour. Fries were delicious, but would have appreciated to have more coleslaw or salad. The burgers were appreciated. I guess there's potential for better food.

  • 5/5 Beril A. 2 years ago on Google
    Great spot for traditional brunch, where you can be sure that the quality will be good. Amazing Mimosas, homemade English muffins and great coffee. The best part is the consistency of the egg yolk in their poached eggs… dreamy.

  • 4/5 Mr B. 1 year ago on Google
    An excellent English breakfast and heaps of space for the kids to play outside. Could have done with a proper beer menu. Kids pancake portion was enormous!

  • 3/5 James L. 1 year ago on Google
    The food wasn't bad. I got a burger and fries with a mixed drink. I'd definitely get the burger again but there was too much meat on it and about half of it fell out. I also took issue with the food being served on a cutting board as it was difficult to keep everything off the table. I didn't like the drink because it tasted like there was very little alcohol in it. The service was good and the waitress poked her head around the corner every few minutes to see if we needed anything. Overall my biggest problem was the price. The total was about 70 CHF for two burgers and 2 drinks. I feel this is a bit exorbitant for what we were given.

    Service: excellent! Very friendly staff and very professional. They served us immediately and the food came fast. The restaurant is baby friendly. Food: delicious and good portions. Love the vibe there.

  • 5/5 Ilario M. 2 years ago on Google
    Very nice ambiance and friendly personnel. Outside seating available, even in winter (with outside heaters). The have an extensive list of different beers from all over the world. I can recommend having a business event there.

  • 5/5 Christopher W. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely relaxed location with a cosy pub style garden and yummy weekend brunch options. Play area for the kids too.

  • 5/5 Christina 7 months ago on Google
    Great place to get your american food fix. Great burgers and great ribs. There are other vegetarian options as well and less heavy foods. Have an extensive beer list which I believe is made in house. Great place for families. Very friendly service. In the summer there is a lot of outdoor seating.

  • 5/5 Natascha S. 2 years ago on Google
    Great, cozy restaurant with themed dinner nights, excellent brunch and an atmosphere great for adults, kids and small children. The owner is lovely and the recent beer tasting night was wonderful.

  • 5/5 Marni A. 2 years ago on Google
    I reserved here last minute as my usa family was visiting from Germany and was missing the brunch scene (non existent in the Germany area where they live), but the only area available was the family section - it’s super loud, so if you don’t have kids, try to sit downstairs. The restaurant gave me a New England vibe - like my university days in eastern Massachusetts. It was a very homey feeling and great brunch spot. A bit outside the city, but still centrally located. The menu is everything you imagine having at brunch, so it is hard to decide what to get. But you can just check what your neighbors are eating to make up your mind. I’ll come here again when I’m craving an American style brunch!

    Our waitress not only demonstrated warmth, professionalism, and impeccable attentiveness but also impressed us with her excellent English. In a country where English isn't native, her ability to communicate effectively added an extra layer of comfort to our dining experience. She showcased an impressive knowledge of the menu, providing great recommendations and ensuring our dining choices were tailored to our satisfaction. Despite not knowing her name, our waitress went above and beyond to accommodate a special request, enhancing our overall experience. In conclusion, the unnamed waitress at Fork & Bottle exemplified outstanding service, contributing significantly to our evening.

  • 5/5 Jack P. 2 years ago on Google
    The restaurant accommodated our party of nine (with a reservation), and everyone enjoyed their Sunday brunch. I highly recommend the full English breakfast and their bloody Mary. The offer a variety of eggs benedict that folks also enjoyed. Thanks to the restaurant for making my wife a happy birthday waffle as well!
