You can be eating lunch and right next to you is a person in a bathing suite, or better yet, changing out of her bathing suit. I'm not complaining! I think it's awesome that people aren't soooo modest like they can be in the states. The lunch menu looked pretty tasty, but it's difficult to find seating around that time. We sat outside around a tree with coffee and drinks, it was no problem. What I want to know, is what the heck are they doing in the building next door? They're welding metal and random stuff out front...

I stayed here for one night upon my arrival on Zürich. I wish I had booked a second night as it was…read morea welcoming place to stay. Alas, they were all booked up. This pension is located above/next to the cafe/bar of the same name. It's in a residential area but a short walk from tram lines and the Wipkingen train stop. These give quick access to the airport and downtown. You check in at the bar and receive a coupon for a free beer/coffee which is a nice touch. The 5 rooms are named after various fruits. I stayed in Cherry which is a single twin bed room. Despite being above a busy cafe/bar, my room was quiet and had a view over the street and patio for the cafe. The single bathroom is shared so there might be an issue with waiting, although I had no issues during my stay. I'd definitely stay there again if I return to Zurich. For the cafe, I took advantage of the season and drank gluhwein which was delicious. They were fairly crowded on a Thursday night which I took as a good sign. There is indoor and outdoor seating, with a fire pit outside. The morning I left, I had tea and scrambled eggs with chives. Tasty and a good start with some protein for the day. The cafe was lively even at 10am with lots of local residents. Check this place out if you're in Zurich!

Although I only had beer (a nice amber-ish one at that that the very charismatic and hip 'tender may have thought was dark beer, but no matter) I would be inclined to return as the overall vibe of the joint was casual and inviting. This place calls itself a 'Cafebar' and I would be inclined to go along with that. Have a coffee, a campari, wine or an ale while sitting with friends and chatting. There's grub in the form of soups, salads, sandwiches and such to fortify the tummy. As an after-dinner drink order a coffee with schnaps! If it weren't a good idea, then the place would be called something else, I should think. What I didn't realise until I checked out their website in greater detail is that Kafischnaps also offers accomodation for the Zurich visitor. They have five 'comfortable and price effective' rooms for the discerning traveler furnished by local designers. If I didn't already live here, then I'd be inclined to book a room. Kafischnaps...for the discerning guest wanting to experience a more 'locals only' Zurich.

CZ is a collectively-run business where the workers are also the owners and hierarchy is dispensed with. The vibe is relaxed, all seems to run smoothly and pretension is non-existent. The menu is a mix of meat dishes, veggie dishes and vegan fare, all organic. Locally and ethically sourced products, whenever possible, is Cafe Zähringer's way. Of my few visits, I have only ever had flavorful meals attractively presented. I took my family on their first ever visit to CH to CZ for dinner and they very much enjoyed it! Having lived through the Summer of Love in San Fran as young adults, I'd like to say that this place brought 'em back, in a good way. Some of the cuisine we sampled was: Bärlauch pesto over penne, gorgeous creamed broccoli-bell pepper soup, halloumi plate accompanied by different types of salad, and tofu with veggies in a curry broth. The family was satisfied and so was I. On a warm day nothing really beats sitting outside under the trees with birds chirping having, as Ken M. said, righteous 'hippie food' at Cafe Zähringer. Non-smokers sitting out front beware--you will inhale a cig's worth of smoke or more.

One of my favorite areas in Zurich, varied and authentic. The only downside of Cafe Noir is that the staff are not the most welcoming towards non-regulars. It's happened to me more than once that I was waiting at the bar to order when regulars came in, coffees were made and chats were had while I was just being ignored. It's great that this is a true neighborhood joint but they could do with a bit more friendliness towards the ordinary customer.
