After a week in Europe, this is the only restaurant visited worthy of a five star review. The…read moreothers were not disasters but nothing worthy of a Yelp write up. Setting - Beautiful. I would say an authentic but modern Swiss restaurant. Obviously clean as almost all are but just very nicely decorated and has a sense of casual luxury. Food - The standout. The salad with egg and Rapeseed was perfect. The Zuri Gschnatzlets was very original and exactly as expected. The fish from lake Zurich (wonder if that is really true LOL) was very nice and the side of pasta and carrots were prepared without fault. Service - smiling. Wine - a lot. Photos - explain the rest.

There was immense variety in their selection of food and options for those who maybe vegan, vegetarian, gluten sensitive, etc! I ordered a salad and took bits and pieces from other meals around the table- all delicious! The staff was very friendly and welcoming, and the establishment was kept clean! Definitely give it a try if you are in the area:)

Food: My husband and I ordered the calamari rings, chicken cordon blue, and the Zuri Gschnatzlets…read more(a Swiss dish with veal stripes and muschroom sauce served with homemade hasbrowns). These were all delicious. I was hesitant about trying the veal since I've never tried it. I'm so glad I did because it was soooo good. The meat was tender and the mushroom sauce very tasty. I highly recommend this dish. My husband loved the chicken. Loved the calamari. Service: What can I say. Thomas, our server, was the best. He catered to us like we were family. He recommended the chicken and veal. We've never experienced anybody automatically recommending dishes to us unless we ask. Thomas made sure we had the best experience and gave us a few recommendations. We were definitely not disappointed. Thank you Thomas. You're the best! Ambiance: This cafe is right off the river Limat. You can choose to enjoy your meal or drink in the patio or inside. The staff are very friendly and wecome you with a smile. So if you're in Zurich, definitely check out this place and ask for Thomas. Great experience. Definitely recommend this place. 5+++ stars*

Wow! The Risotto was absolutely delicious, it was creamy and rich but not too overwhelming. Portion…read morewas also pretty big! The expresso martini was a little more on the spendy side but still pretty yummy! They made the drink fairly strong so that was a plus! View is beautiful and workers were really nice and friendly!

If you need a humbling experience and change in your life attitude come to this restaurant! I'm a…read morevisitor from San Francisco and I have never experienced anything like this in my life. It teaches you a lot about yourself and how you respond to visual impairment. I used the survival skills I learned in school to locate my glass or picking up a fork in pitch black darkness. I chose the vegetarian option and the 3 courses were very flavorful and I was able to taste the food even more so in the dark. I felt like the dark made my sensory of my palate enhanced. Keep in mind everything in Zurich is extremely expensive. Wait I should say the upper echelon of the world! Anyways, you pay for the experience. This really changed my outlook in life and I have even more gratitude when I wake up everyday! I was very grateful for this unique experience!

I had the rabbit, with veggies and potato mash- the food was tip top, and I never broke a glass! The chocolate truffle tort was a tasty little sweet, and the Lazarus wine was a soft, fine treat. The wait staff are visually impaired, but kind, and the service is as good as any you'll find. All and all it was pricey, but it's for a good reason: try out Blindekuh- dine in the dark in any season!

A very cozy wine bar with food…read more Came back for a glass of Washinton State Cabernet, but it was no longer available by the glass. :-( This is one of the only places I know that carries a Washington State wine, let alone a North American wine (the best in the world) ;-) There is a decent selection of other old world wines, but for a wine bar, the selection could be slightly more capacious. One server was very friendly. The other server less so. There is also a full kitchen and the food looked rather attractive. There is a selection of Spanish charcuterie and various cheeses as well as salads and mains...

Go 'full English' or go home! Actually, I just had a plate of bacon and eggs with white toast and…read morethat suited me just fine, thanks. However, my pals all ordered the full English breakfast and were very satisfied. Asking for omissions on the full Eng. didn't work, so mushroom-haters should BEWARE as you might have to contend with them on your plate. The freshly squeezed OJ happened to be blood orange juice, so it was both tasty and very colorful! Both the service and the grub were good. We all left very satisfied. Condiment complaint: no jam for toast. Condiment bonus: Tabasco, ketchup and HP sauce. Cash only.

An excellent artisanal brunch in a mellow setting…read more Three of us shared two house-made granola's with yogurt and a Justus Brunch: hot drink, juice, rolls, butter & jam, cheese, sliced aged meats, and eggs (we chose scrambled). The granola & yogurt was excellent (especially the fresh fruit), the eggs fluffy, the cheeses ranging from almost runny to very sharp (there was some debate among the waitstaff as to whether we'd gotten the Sbrinz or Gruyère). In addition, the atmosphere was homey and relaxed --- we felt like we were family friends visiting an old farmhouse, rather than waiting in line for an upholstered booth. The front half of the shop sells most of the same food and ingredients (including real molasses, as opposed to the corn syrup "molasses spread" at some grocery stores). We did notice some of the veggie bins didn't look to have very high turnover --- be sure to check your produce.

I like this place for many reasons. Firstly, this is a good coffee alternative to the Pain…read moreQuotidien chain nearby. It is a mix of a sustainable store within a cafe where you can buy basic organic food either to prepare at home, have some takeaway or stay and sit down at one of the tables. I only had proper lunch once but boy that was very good! It was well spiced and had the taste of "I cooked it with love" in it. So I defenitly want to go back to check out that love flavour again. They usually have one meal with meat and one vegeterian option. Always a daily soup which you may buy to go. They also sell small bakery goods such as cakes, tartes or bagels. They use interesting ingredients, such as brie with some sort of fruit or scamorzza cheese with carrots or beef roast, and much more. They seem to have vegan options, too. Today it was a sandwich with hummus spread. So there is coffee, there is food, nice staff, everything is sustainable but thats not the end of the list yet: the MAGAZINES!!! It is very dangerous for me to sit down and grab a magazine. Because they have a fantastic selection of brain food such as Swiss magazines, newspapers and I always feel tempted to bing read. I just realised: still not the end of the list! There is free wifi. Yes, the world is a good place to live in. STOP! Still not the end of the list: when the weather is warm enough you even can sit outside. Now you're flabbergasted, aren't ya? :) So why not 5 stars? I think there is just a tiny bit of room for improvent and maybe one day I will change it to 5 stars.
