    The chicken was very good, tasty and juicy. It’s a bit fancy the way they serve it but it justifies the high price. Staff knowledge about wine was a bit poor and they don’t allow to bring our own bottle and pay the service on it.

    Awesome experience. Foods is delicious and very unique way to serve chicken with the various sides - the creamed spinach is additive. Service was super friendly and even had a great sense of humor.

    @restaurantemilio ‘s famous chicken 🐔 🍗 A true institution and worth a try: you get a whole small chicken, in 4 servings (so it stays warm) with various side dishes (à discretion, we had spinach and fries, next time I woukd try the rice and noodles!). For dessert we had a lemon (must try!) and almond roulade and a spanish liqueur called 43. On the fancier/ more expensive side, but worth a visit on a special occasion! Make sure to reserve a table (they also have a smokers area) in advance. Bon appetit!

    One of Zurich‘s iconic restaurants with long history over 80yrs. Here you must order the crispy chicken baked to perfection with spinach and pommefrite as side dish. For appetizer absolutely steamed shrimps with melted butter. For dessert, order the homemade roll cake filled with almond.😍

    The Best Chicken dish you will ever taste. Make sure you order the fries double fried as well as the baked over noodles and make sure you add the spinach. Desert a must as well.

    Excellent service team, simply satisfying classic dishes.

  • 5/5 Callum S. 7 months ago on Google • 28 reviews
    Friendly and polite staff. Very welcoming. Really pleasant and cozy atmosphere inside. Food is also great - some of the best mini chicken I have even had! Also a very good selection of Spanish wine for relatively fair Zürich prices. Think possibly a small error on our bill where they claimed we needed to pay for more sides than we believed we should but otherwise everything was excellent.
