I tried this fun thing called Hausgemachtes Öpfelchüechli mit Vanillesauce ... which is basically like fried apple rings with vanilla sauce. It was pretty decent, and not too heavy, but nothing to write home about. Also, I know Europeans have a different pace of life, but I kept trying to get the waiters attention (since we were in a bit of a rush) and he kept kinda just ignoring me or giving me one of those "yeah, yeah get back in your seat and i'll get to you when I get to you" kinda looks. Wasn't much appreciated. Anyway, I haven't really had their food here, so maybe that might win me over ... if I'm ever in the area again! Stay Cheerful ;)

The restaurant is small and was packed at 2pm. We waited for about 15 mins for a table. We were supplied English menus and there were some wonderful options. After chatting with the couple sitting next to our table, they assisted us in making our selection. We enjoyed our lunch and I would highly recommend this location. Enjoy!

They charged us 10 CHF per music session, we were there for 2 music sessions. I don't mind the charge but I wish they let us know beforehand that there was a charge for music. Must-get: croque madam or croque monsieur Don't get: savory crepes but the sweet ones are better When to go: find out from their website when there will be live music playing! Other tips: the crepes were kind of soggy. I usually prefer it to be crispier since there's usually fruit, chocolate, cheese or something else to make it soft. So, if you don't want it to be too soft, ask them to crisp up the crepe more.

Jan 2026 * Solo I ate breakfast at Franzos. While the…read morescrambled eggs were passable and the bacon flabby, my review centers around its unfriendly service. I ordered hot tea, and used my teabag sparingly. When I asked for more hot water from a server, I was refused unless I paid for an additional tea again; it was against the rules she said. When I asked another server about it, he also said it was against the rules--but he would make an exception. I thanked him and he brought the hot water. The woman server then approached me and told me that I wasn't nice to ask another server. I told her that the restaurant's policy was unfriendly, that it didn't cater to a customer's reasonable wishes, and that it was good that the Zurich's custom was not to tip. I also told her that I would post a review of the restaurant and share my experience. Then the second server came back (the one who gave me more hot water) and asked if it was true that I would review the restaurant. I said yes--but only decided to do so when the first server told me I wasn't nice. Then he snatched my hot teacup away and showed me the door! There are too many places in Zurich to give your business; do not patronize this one. Leah (age 63)

The answer was yes but we could only have table for 90 min ( we gladly accepted). Outstanding menu. Very friendly service. Nice selection of wines by the glass. Entrees were great. Didn't get dessert bcuz we ran out of time and they did not offer ( fair is fair- our time was up). Nothing in Zurich is cheap but the prices were not over the top. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Anthony ( who assisted our server) is one of the friendliest people I've encountered in a restaurant.

It is a beloved French-Swiss restaurant hidden away in a historic, idyllic inner courtyard in Zurich's Old Town. Located at Nagelhof 3, 8001 Zürich, it offers a charming Mediterranean ambience paired with fresh Provencal market cuisine.

There are about 4-5 tables or so and a single server that tends them all. The menu is essentially prix fixe and I had no clue what I was getting myself into. Once the food stared to arrive, literally everything was amazing! The soup was delicious, the fish was soft and buttery, the truffle ravioli was ridiculous and the octopus was fantastic! Overall, this is a very solid Swiss dining experience and I would recommend trying it out if in Zurich, but be sure to bring your wallet (roughly 110-150CHF per person) and make reservations.

Ksanet, Bianka and Rui were amazing in their own rights and definitely were humans first and Lumiere employees second and forth. Not only did they serve us but gave us a few moments from their tight schedules to walk us through about how we could make use of a Sunday ( Switzerland for the most part is closed on Sunday's and we were not prepared for that :( ). These folks had some amazing suggestions to make through and through and helped us a lot with our questions about Switzerland and travels in general. The ambiance was stunning and the place was packed and had moderate amount of noise in there attributing to the conversations. The interiors were pretty amazing and well thought out and depicted the history of Lumiere. We ordered a side salad, octopus with sliced potatoes, tuna tartare on avocado bed and for dessert we got ourselves the lime tart. The octopus dish was outstanding just like the tuna tartare where we enjoyed every bite slowly. The salad was put together very well and the dessert topped it all off to call it an evening. This place definitely should definitely be in your list to visit in Zurich and given its proximity to Zurich HB it's an easy decision to make ( even if you had to come out of your way to grab a bite here it will be so well worth it).

There is a counter for ordering eat-in or take-away. The menu is in German, but there is also a menu in English for us..."non-fluent in Germen language folks". In this way, the ordering line can move faster because the staff do not need to spend a lot of time translating the menu to patrons. There is a separate counter for ordering delicious-looking desserts. There is seating on the street level and upstairs in another dining area. Once you order the food, you take a seat at a table (depending upon the time of day, it might be difficult to find a seat) and your food is brought to you. My positive experience was further augmented by my wonderful companions and the delectable food.

I liked the fries but they could have been warmer. When they were served they were lukewarm. Overall the atmosphere was very nice but the food was just average.
