HATECKE VIVANDA GENUINA

Butcher shop deli

👍👍 If you're a meat lover who is willing to try something beyond classic stakes (which in fact are not served here), this place is a must go! Both the appetizer and the main dish (brasato di manzo) were super tasty and tender. Great service in a modern, clean venue. Price aligned with the city avera...

Züri Bistro

Bistro

👍👍 We had a Doner Classic pita and Doner Classic kebab. Both were excellent! They were actually very different—pita was really fresh and fluffy, with heaps and heaps of meat. As you can tell from the photo, the portions are very generous… I didn’t love the white sauce because it was a bit too herby for...

Montmartre Café & Bistro

Bistro

👍👍 A French parenthesis in the middle of Zürich! A Little Hotel Restaurant located in a narrow street in the city center, reminiscent of the Parisian atmosphere with small round tables and pretty benches. I only went for lunch, but with plans to spend a night there. the meal card is quite small proo...

Juice Market

Bistro

😐 Tourist trap. Everything tasted fine, but not amazing and it's definitely overpriced for what it is. The falafel salad is basically just a mixed leaf salad that you can buy at a grocery store with some cherry tomatoes, falafel, a spoonful of hummus and some yogurt. The falafel seemed to be made from...

Glogge Egge

Swiss restaurant

👍👍 Nice and relaxed bistro in the middle of the city's shopping area. I went because of the Moules & Frites before the season's end (end of April). Nice classic dish. The menu offers a nice range of other things (meat, fish, vegetarian dishes), too. Zürich prices. The Mexican beef skewer and the aspa...

Spitz

Restaurant

👍👍 Spitz is always a reliable go to for a quick work lunch or business dinner, but Karolis really upped the service and warmth taking care of me and some visiting family this evening. Service from Karolis was thoughtful, flexible, and warm. Cocktails were inventive and delicious. Food was seasonal, fre...

Karl der Grosse

Function room facility

😠 Terrible service. On a not so busy day, it took the staff over 10 minutes to take our order (a cheesecake and a coffee). When we wanted to pay they were also painfully slow to come to our table. Nevertheless, we tipped ~20% of our bill. The worst came later: they overcharged us on the cheesecake. O...

Tannenbar

Bistro

🫤 Tannenbar is a coffee-place with a cheap cafeteria-feel, yet the prices of a full-fledged mid-town cafe. Their coffee is not bad, but for less money one gets much better coffee at the Alehouse, for example, which is just a 35-second walk from Tannenbar. Their rows of shared tables transmit the feel...

Moser's Backparadies - Zürich Sihlporte

Bakery

😠 I was just there trying to order. We were waiting for someone to take our order then we saw there is a small line. So we went behind the line. Then a couple entered and didn't follow the line and they took their order !! Not sure why we are invisible. We were upset and just left. Really not a good e...
