Located off the happening Langstrasse, the bite is at a prime location as a spot to hit before a night on the town. Reservations can be slightly difficult to come by, especially on weekends, as the place fills up fast. I believe in summer they also offer al fresco dining which probably increases the space available. The guacamole is excellent, and the pesto which is served on top of it is a genius idea! The animal fries (fries with thousand island dressing and melted cheese) are excellent, if rather rich and heavy. Coming to the burgers themselves, the bite offers a fixed (rather limited) menu, with one limited, specialty burger. Meat is tasty, juicy, grilled to order, the bacon is thick cut and delicious. My personal recommendation is the Manchego burger, served with manchego cheese (duh!) and a delicious romesco sauce, this burger is to die for!

Unless you don't mind eating outside in the dark with all the smokers. Second....expect to wait a long time. This isn't a fast food restaurant so grab a beer and wait 45/60 min to get your food. Third... Switzerland is very expensive so this restaurant is no different. 2 burgers, 2 alcoholic drinks, and French fries were 98CHF which is pretty much 100 bucks. They have 3 sauces for you to try. Ketchup- Tasted like marinara sauce. BBQ- Tasted like smokey ketchup. 1000 island. Tasted normal. Burgers were great. They were juicy and delicious. Animal Style French Fries were a good try. Def not like the original but so far from home it was a nice find. This restaurant isn't for Americans. Way too expensive for what we eat all the time but I compare this place to the Melting Pot in the US. That place is so overpriced but it's amazing to get your cheese fondue fix. I can't imagine Swiss people coming to the US and eating at our expensive version of cheese fondue. Service was ok. It was super busy so can't really complain but I could tell our waiter was super annoyed with our audacity of showing up , with no reservation, and willingness to wait. And for some dumb reason you can't order "The Threesome" (or Hattrick) with a group of 5 people. 4 apparently is ok but we had 5. Cannot imagine why if 3 people order the same thing it's an inconvenience for the restaurant but DON'T DO IT or again your waiter will show his annoyance.

Beer: This place gets five stars because it is the only place in town (well at least as I write…read morethis) that carries a wide variety (they have 20 lines available) of independent craft beer on tap that updates it's availability and ever changing offerings to an IT system that is linked to their electronic menu and on-line menu. Service: Let's not forget the people are pretty and the food are pretty decent. Starting with service, you know that can go wrong very easily in Zurich. In here, it is so smooth and uncomplicated because you need to go up and order your drinks and food at the counter. You get a number assigned to you and your party, so that your bill is allocated to that number, which makes ordering pretty easy because every time you reorder you just need to bring the plastic card with your number or just remember it so they can bill it to your number. At the end of your meal when you pay they will just ring up your check based on the number you have. Food: The food is not too shabby here. They have various burgers, from beef, fish, chicken to veggie and all are pretty good on a nicely toasted burger bun. Once I skipped the meal (eating is cheating) and had a nice order of fries. Location/Ambiance: it is very close to the University of Zurich but the prices are higher than average beer bc you are getting craft beer on TAP. So it's not filled with students, it's a mixed crowd. However you will still find one or two groups of students that come here and take advantage of the awesome board games they offer here over a nice glass of craft beer. Covid: During Covid times the tables are not that close together and they do not encourage you to hang around the bar area. Still I felt safe to dine here during Covid times.

I am a massive fan of Alehouse because they have delicious beer and great food!…read more I've only been here twice but plan to come many more times. They have a great list of beers on a screen (it's a digital screen right?) noting the locations and more info about them. Many of the prices are pretty steep, but, I really enjoy the ambiance and the food, and the beer! Last time I came they had an Ethiopian pop-up, or whatever you call it. They were serving Ethiopian food for a limited amount of time. I ordered the veggie platter with different curries and it was really delicious, and so pretty too! I always have a great time here. They also have seating outside.

It was busy, and the food absolutely lived up to the hype. The veal cordon bleu was to die for, and the potato salad was honestly the best I had on the entire trip. One funny thing: the water was more expensive than the beer and soda, but that seems pretty typical in Switzerland! The restaurant itself has so much history and great atmosphere. The inside was a little loud for us, so we sat outside, which we really enjoyed. Just be prepared to share a table with another couple if you sit outside -- that's pretty common in Switzerland. I'd absolutely come back. Great food, historic charm, and such a fun local experience.

Now they opened their first place on the old continent and it's in Zurich - hooray! Since today I know that we're lucky bastards. First they got me with their West-Side beef burger. Decent minced meat. Not a finely grinded, perfectly shaped patty but the real deal (to my taste). Topped with an orchestra of flavours: the spicy chipotle sauce, the juicy tomato salsa, the ripe avocado, the fresh cilantro... I was in burger heaven. Not to forget the fries. It would be an insult to call them sides. First of all, how many places offer sweet potato fries? Maybe because you have to know how to prepare them. For example with a sheer panade to make them crispy outside and a slightly smoky flavour. But, the original potato fries are outstanding, too. Crispy, well-seasoned with an own mix of spices and extra yummy with a dip of the home-made ketchup. The menu is a great bargain: for CHF 6.90 extra to the burger you get an uber side plus a tasty soft drink with all natural ingredients.

We happened upon it just by looking up restaurants close to our hotel and it wound up being our favorite place we ate in our whole 10 days in Switzerland! The atmosphere is so warm and welcoming. When you walk up, there are tables and chairs throughout the walkway and then an entire open area of tables off of the outside bar for a fun hangout. The building appears to be an old house turned restaurant and is so beautiful on the outside and so warm and inviting on the inside. The menu had accommodations for everyone - which is so nice as I am a lactose intolerant pescatarian! I got the beetroot and black bean burger both nights I was there and it was to die for!! I ate the entire thing both nights and just wanted more (it was a big burger though)!! I also had a watermelon spritz which was so refreshing! You can tell the owners/workers get to know their regulars as I saw them stopping by tables and chatting - which was just so fun to see! If you're in Zurich, I highly recommend popping by! My only regret was that I never saved room for the brownie dessert!
