    Cheese fondu.
    Lynda F.

    Just enjoyed our first Swiss fondu. Made from 7 different cheeses and two spirits, it was so good it disappeared before our very eyes. Why I rated it 5 stars: 1. The fondu was fresh, hot and delicious. I don't like alcohol and worried that would ruin it for me, but I tasted only a hint of the spirits. 2. The restaurant was small yet clean and charming. 3. The owner was a one-man show yet friendly and funny despite doing everything himself. He moved and talked fast but wasn't flustered. He would make a good reality TV show for the U.S. 4. The music was pleasant and not so loud. 5. We were served an authentic hot meal within 15 minutes of sitting down. Bonus: When the owner discovered that guests one table over were also from the States, he introduced us and we enjoyed a short but lovely conversation.

    Good, but not great place for authentic Swiss fondue. If you are like us and thought no trip to Zurich would be complete without a genuine fondue dinner, then you should seriously reconsider why you're in Switzerland in the first place. But, if you still insist, then this is a passable place for turning melted, blended cheese, wine, and brandy with dipped bread into a meal. Nevertheless, be forewarned that the lead waitress is overworked, a tad hasty, and knows zero English. The owner (who also seems to be the chef) is a jovial gentleman who appears about every half hour to greet customers and make sure everything is fine. And, for us, it all was fine. But, just fine.

    This is a pot of fondue for three-they brought us as much bread as we wanted and even threw in some veggies!

    I was in Zurich for work and my colleagues and I really really wanted fondue. After a quick Yelp search we found this place and headed on over. It's conveniently located just a few minutes walk from the Oerlikon train station. We were greeted warmly and were seated immediately (it was around 20.30 on a Friday night ). The restaurant serves traditional Swiss food with an emphasis on some regional dishes. Menus are available in both German and English. :) The decor is cozy and comfortable. The fondue was great with unlimited bread and they even brought us a side of cooked veggies! The service was wonderful and the couple who run the place are delightful! This will definitely be a repeat on my next trip to Zurich.

    My family wanted to try Swiss cheese dishes during our time in Switzerland, and Raclette Factory…read moreprovided the perfect introduction to Swiss cuisine that we were looking for. As it was our first time eating raclette, we asked our server to walk us through the menu. Lily was exceedingly helpful in explaining the differences in cheeses and their flavors, and she was also very attentive and checked in on us throughout the meal. I noticed that her welcoming demeanor was also shared by her colleagues who were waiting on the other tables around us. My family took Lily up on her recommendations, and we ordering one Klara and one Willi, each with a side of sausages, as well as one original tarte flambé and one vegi tarte flambée. The food was all very delicious!! My personal highlights from the meal were the sausage dipped in the Willi cheese along with the onions and potatoes that were served with the dish. The tartes also had very thin, yummy crusts topped with raclette cheese. The side of pickles provided a tangy contrast to the rest of the meal which I liked. We ended our meal with a warm chocolate cake and lemon sorbet. I'm not really one for alcohol, so I found the vodka in the sorbet to be a bit too strong for me. However, the chocolate cake with the jam and vanilla ice cream was very good and had just the right amount of chewiness. I wish that I could replace my local Cheesecake Factory with a Raclette Factory instead so that I could enjoy Swiss cheese melted over bread, sausages, and potatoes all the time. Oh well, perhaps it's just another excuse to visit Switzerland again one day :)

All of our food was delicious, but I will say that the garlic bread is SUPER garlicky so depends on how much you like garlic and want to smell like garlic for the rest of your day.

The popular Wiedikerli dish was pan fried sausage with lean pork, served with savory gravy with a side of Rosti. This was a 10/10 last meal that made my last night. The dessert was mostly okay, basic but I won't discount the main course and the delicious local swiss beer on tap! Looking forward to coming back one day!

    Yelp Review 2026 #48:…read more Housed in an old armory, Zeughauskeller is a popular restaurant for mostly tourists. It does get pretty busy so, reserving a table would be the smart thing to do. Unless, you walk in during odd hours. Swiss food is not popular for being tasty and having bold flavors. Unless you intend to just eat cheese and chocolate, Swiss food is rather forgettable. Highly influenced by German cuisine, expect things like wienerschnitzel, bratwurst, pork shank, etc. Sausage with Potato Saiad: All their sausage is served with potato salad but you can sub it out with French fries or rosti. The sausage was nice. The potato salad was surprisingly good. 4/5 Cordon Bleu: You get a choice between veal and pork. I chose pork. The description on their menu says "tender pork escalope, filled with ham and SPICY Gruyère cheese, fried crispy". There was no spice at all. LOL. The ham was probably 2 thin slices. There are other Swiss restaurants in Zurich that makes better cordon Bleu. 3/5 The service was quite slow. We waited for our server to come over. They sent the only English-speaking server to handle like 7 tables. It's definitely a one and done. Come here for the vibes, not for the food.

We got to try traditional raclette cooked at your table on the raclette skillet. Plus, we tried a chicken dish that you cooked on a hot stone at your table. We didn't realize when we ordered that we would be cooking the chicken ourselves but not only was it fun, it was also the best chicken ever. Very moist and flavorful. The raclette comes with tiny white potatoes and gerkins. The raclette was plenty even though we did not order the all you can eat. I can't imagine who can eat that much cheese and I'm the queen of cheese! They had fantastic wines by the glass that were reasonably priced and the atmosphere was perfect. We were so happy to have our last dinner in Zurich be such a success. Plus, this restaurant did not smell like stinky cheese as some other fondue restaurants have a tendency to.

With it's friendly service, good food and amazing ambiance, it was my favorite restaurant of our trip. We decided to order the Raclette and the Truffle Butter Fondue (39 CHF). The raclette was served with boiled potatoes and it was really fun being able to watch your own raclette melting at your table on the melter. While I enjoyed the raclette, I enjoyed the Truffle Butter Fondue even more. It was served with pieces of baguette bread and the fondue was so creamy and flavorful. It definitely had a strong truffle flavor which I really enjoyed. Just as enjoyable as the food was the ambiance. Chasalp is located on a hill overlooking Zurich so you have a nice view of the city as you walk from the parking lot to the restaurant. Both indoor and outdoor seating is available but with how beautiful the scenery was, we definitely had to sit outside. Cows roam around the lush green grass as you enjoy your meal and everything feels so peaceful and serene. Our servers were very friendly and helpful and checked on us often to make sure everything was okay. While we didn't have any kids with us, the outdoor space also looked to be kid-friendly with a nearby swing set for children to use along with crayons and drawing sheets at the table to keeps kids occupied. I had such a wonderful and relaxing experience and definitely recommend it if you're in Zurich and looking for a delicious fondue option.
