Since we moved to Oerlikon, we started more and more to have brunches and dinners in Chayenne. The…read morefood is great and it always seemed very fresh. The atmosphere is very joyful and, unlike many Zurich places, it is almost always populated by young (and noisy) people, who want to have a good time. I find this very relaxing. There are also available seats at the bar and often people are standing as well, since big groups of friends joining after work is a common view there. The strongest point of the place is, in my opinion, it'a brunch selection. On weekends, you can serve brunch until as late as 4 pm. Try their omelette, it is delicious! (I got the New York one). Also, they serve breakfast combos (i chose the American and the Swiss one), which are very expensive (up to even 30 CHF if I remember well), but they are worth it! The combos are enough for two people and they are very diverse. I would be happy if they offered more drinks as included in the combo though. However, be prepared to pay Zurich prices. It's an expensive place, but I never regretted spending money there. Enjoy!

Racist bartender. Stopped serving a certain drink after I asked for it when he had served it to my…read morefriend literally less than 5 min before hand. Then claimed he was going to give me two drinks for the price of one and charged me 18 Francs for what turned out to be juice and water. Can't believe this behavior still exists in 2021 but I wouldn't recommend it or go ever again. Ridiculously concerning behavior...

The sparkling water was served without ice and lemon and the cappuccino, at chf 5.50 on was beyond unforgiveable (no milk foam, spilled all over the cup and plate). The interior is great so we'd say fix the service and wait for winter to come and this will be a great brunch location ;)

One server was very friendly. The other server less so. There is also a full kitchen and the food looked rather attractive.

The chipped brick with candles inside the walls makes the ambiance very romantic. I was on a work dinner; however it was romantic. I had the veal and it was great! The wine selection is also great. They have Amarone wine!!! It is great!!! I look forward to going back!!!

James Joyce boasts having the "best" burger in town (it's not) and our local friend recommended the place more for drinks, but we chose this anyway since its within walking distance from Widder bar where we came from. The menu reads like a dependable Irish pub fare, but with Zurich prices. GAH! I feel destitute in Zurich. Prices of 25CHF and up for an entree is typical. Fish n chips were deliciously crispy; while the burger has decent moist MMMeat. Alas, the cheese was dried out and burnt on the edges. (I mean, how does one manage to burn cheese?!) Sit outside if the weather permits, because the setting is really inviting with tea light candles and fresh flowers on the table. A glass of Lillet Blanc and a Guiness on tap are excellent end of the night drinks. The friendly service warrants the 4th star, but you should go somewhere else for the best burger in town.

The hotel had been slated for demolition and the bank that was building a place to entertain its out of town clients bought the wood paneling and decorations and shipped it all over to Zurich--crazy! I read about this place in my guide book and it was also recommended by my Zurich resident friend so I had to check it out. From the outside you'd never be able to tell what the interior holds; it has a quite a modern-looking patio and is on a well-heeled side street off the main shipping drag, Bonhofstrasse. It looks like it could be any other upscale bar until you walk inside: lots of dark gleaming yet well-worn wood, intricate tile work, and period paintings. You can take it all in as you sip the beverage of your choice. We weren't hungry enough to sample their food, but from what I could see on the other tables it looked pretty damn good. The bartender was very nice and friendly and the whole place just felt very comfortable. Well worth a visit.
