I've finally found a good large farmer's market in Zürich…read more The farm stands range from wow-those-beets-just-came-out-of-the-ground to Wegmanns-style Italian oranges. Each stand's rules vary --- some are very hands-on, feel-the-fruit while others are strictly ask-and-point. Quality also seems to vary a fair amount --- but prices vary less. As with most farmer's markets, cash is easiest. Besides veggies, there usually two fish trucks, a few cheese / cured meat stands, and some smaller bakery stands. There's flowers, although I still don't see how Zürich can support this many florists. Not everything I've picked up at Helvetiamarkt has worked out --- but I finally have a source for farm-fresh kale ("Federkohl").

Migros is amazing! On a budget in Zurich? (Which is thought regardless lol) Stop by Migros! I…read morevisited when it was a holiday so almost everything in the city was closed - including restaurants. Migros was a solid option to get souvenirs (like chocolates and things), and also lunches pastries drinks etc. They have a great selection of fresh produce, and they also have some serve yourself salad and pastry bars, ready to go salad and pasta boxes, fresh bread, lots of variety of sodas and kombucha, ice cream etc... Pasta boxes and pastries range from 3 CHF to 10 CHF - drinks around the same range, bread as well about 3-6 CHF - if you get an Airbnb or hotel room with a kitchenette you can make breakfasts to save on picking up something from Starbucks (which could set you back about 10-15 CHF for 2 items). In all I liked Migros - and they have self check out too which works well!

I had a long layover in Zurich and decided to go and explore the city…read more My husband and I got to this market randomly when we got off the train on the main station. I was so happy because the weather was cold so an indoor market was a perfect solution. The market is really nice and you get a sense of the Swiss tradition and offerings. It offers many kinds of souvenirs, scarves and gloves, wine and food. Lots of it! I ate at the airport before so wasn't hungry and regretted it. The market seemed to have many interesting local foods and the desserts were to die for! I definitely recommend going if you happen to visit Zurich.

To start off, the service was amazing and sweets wise the standout for me was 100% the apricot sorbet. It was absolutely divine, so smooth. The honey himself ordered the pistachio creme sandwich and the small egg tart (similar to nata) and enjoyed them both quite a bit. The seating was comfortable, plentiful, and this was probably our favorite food spot in Zurich. All in all, definitely a must-eat in Zurich if you're visiting.

Zürich, Switzerland…read more Of course, Sprüngli is another must stop visit when you're in Zürich besides the Ladërach. The location I went to is inside the train station. It's small but can comfortably hold a few people. There are plenty of displays to choose from. I wanted to buy some of their famous Luxemburgerli macarons but had a hard time deciding, so I asked the employee for the best sellers. She suggested three, and I went with those. She also mentioned they last 3-4 days and should be refrigerated immediately. It was a little treat for my daughter, and she absolutely loved them. It survived the 12hr flight . Perfect spot to pick up something special for yourself or to take home as a gift!

Feels like walking into a real-life Willy Wonka scenario; the displays themselves are reason enough…read moreto visit! I couldn't help but take pictures so I can look back and salivate at all of the chocolate options! Like a kid in a (literal) candy store.

Both our meals were quite heavy, so this I recommend: allow ample time for eating- 2 hours you can spend! The house wine was nice, and complemented both our dishes. The atmosphere: comfy chic, and dark for romantic wishes. The service was timely, but prices higher than my style. I'd totally come back (but only once in a while).

I came here because I couldn't find anything else in District 5 and stumbled across the entire…read moreViadukt market. I picked this place out of all the other food stalls because it looked affordable at under 10 CHF, and I wanted something warm to eat instead of a cold sandwich. They have a few flavors of savory pies, including a chicken pie, beef & guinness, and a few other flavors that I can't remember off the top of my head. The pies are warmed up for you in the microwave, so the crust is not super crispy and flaky, but it's still pretty decent nonetheless. I didn't find the filling to be really exciting though - it seemed like just shredded chicken that was slightly sweet which was a little odd. I wanted there to be vegetables or something else in there. I appreciated that it was warmed at least and it fit the bill for a meal under 10 CHF, and it was a decent lunch - not super filling but it was just barely enough food. I wouldn't go out of my way to come here to eat, but if you're in the area and want food, this is a decent option. They don't take credit cards under 10 CHF, so plan accordingly.

The chilli has a kick to it and there's also chicken, beef and veggie amongst a couple others. The crust is perfection and the filling is very flavorful. It's even great reheated at home!
