Really lovely and comfortable outdoor space! My friend and I stopped by after a long hike. I got a watermelon spritz, and we split a fried chicken sandwich and the truffle mac n cheese. While the mac n cheese was kind of bland, I enjoyed the rest of the food. But most of all I really liked the watermelon spritz - so refreshing after a long day of hiking. Would definitely suggest folks give this place a visit!
After an exhaustive search for a brunch spot on the hottest day on record during our week long trip in Zurich, we arrived at Fork & Bottle. Hands down. Fantastic experience. From the super attentive host to our engaging server, this place scores big points for friendliness, artisanal food and great outdoor atmosphere. Ordered the Breakfast Burger of the Week with a fried egg and bacon. Prepared to perfection. Quality local ingredients are the star of this dish. And that bun! All bread should taste this good. Also ordered the Mushroom on Gruyère toast with poached eggs. The cheese was slightly salty with some age on it. Made all the difference in the world. Don't get me started on the fries. Ridiculous. A fantastic, farm to table experience. Literally. Sat next to a farm horses and all. Approachable, delicious and worth the three train rides we took to get there. Comfort food at its finest.
On the first night we arrived in Switzerland we found this place via Yelp (as usual). We totally agree with the reviews. First the atmosphere is amazing outside in the garden area with a few of some hills and some inspiration to get in the great outdoors and workout the following day. The inside is large and beautiful as well. The service was perfection. Excellent beer choices as well as wine. The black bean/beet burger and sweet potato fries were perfect for me. So many locals took over large tables enjoying their time all around us. We arrived earlier before the crowds but the service still remained on point even when the outside area was almost completely full. Back for brunch upping from 4-5 !!!!!
On my last night in Switzerland I was craving something outside the traditional Swiss cuisine lol. I found this awesome eatery and decided to Uber from my hotel. The staff we're extremely friendly and laid back which made the experience nice. The atmosphere is very chill and casual. The signature cocktail is delicious and the fish and chips are the best I've had EVER! Highly recommend this place specially if you're looking for a good time and great food.
This is the quintessential neighborhood spot. It's perfect for friends, families and dogs! Off the beaten path you can get here by bicycle or train. There is a small parking lot for cars. Huge outdoor area with a play area for kids. Super cute! Couches and comfy seating abound. I shared a table bench with a couple and unfortunately both of our service was very slow. It took 10 minutes just to get someone's attention who then had to get someone else to take my order. Then my order came before the couple who were seated before me. They really need to get a handle on it. The saving grace to my Bloody Mary was the slice of bacon. Otherwise it was bland so I had to add my own Tabasco. Do not recommend unless you are nursing a hangover and just want tomato juice. The Chorizo Eggs Bénédicte was delicious. Full flavour spicy sausage sliced atop English muffins, with poached eggs and accompanied with potatoes. I really enjoyed every bite. Great ambiance, full bar and good menu. If they can improve service then they will earn 5 stars.
This is a great place to hang out with your close friends. Food is good, service is awesome, and other guests are pleasant. Romeo who was our server did an excellent job. His wine and beer suggestions were spot on. I had a great company and lots of fun talking with them without the restaurant or Romeo giving us any pressure at all other than making sure everything was alright with us. I didn't get to try their bathroom so I really can't comment on their toilets, but I'm sure it was fine.
Great craft beer list. The bacon battered strips with maple aioli were amazing. Chicken sandwich was juicy and crunchy but lacked seasoning. The ribs were amazing. Mike, the owner, is from Boston and has been in Switzerland over a decade and owned this gem 7 yrs. support small business owners!
I really don't know why this place is on the list of best breakfast restaurants. I had smashed avocado toast with eggs. Bread was tasteless, too much lemon juice in smashed avocado. I also had ginger tea. It was just hot water with couple of pieces of ginger. Not even a slice of lemon or spices, or honey. I don't recommend this place
Oh how we love Fork & Bottle! The atmosphere is adorable, the beer selection is huge, the menu has so many options plus creative specials, and the food is consistently delicious! The restaurant is near a beautiful park and has a few animals (ponies) outside of it. The outdoor area is huge with a ton of picnic tables. They have a kids play place so your kids can safely play while you enjoy a beer and the great atmosphere. The beer selection is so good! My husband is a fan of Trappist beer and they always have a rotating set of cool beer he loves to try. We've been three or four times and the food has consistently been amazing. Their burgers are the best we've had since we moved to Zürich - they're huge, perfectly cooked, with creative and toppings. I also hear that their Sunday brunch is the best so we'll have to roll out of bed to try that next.
Fork & Bottle would fit right in Mid-city of Los Angeles. It is the kind of top-notch gastropub combining a massive, eclectic collection of seasonal and micro-brewed beers and wines with really delectable artisanal food. It was certainly one of the better restaurants we went to in Switzerland. The food is really good and you'd have a hard time believing you were getting this delicious American cuisine in Zurich of all places. I like how the emphasis at Fork & Bottle is getting back to quality and technique in their food and drink. Their entire staff is welcoming and just want you to have a fantastic time. FOOD The 10-hour house-rubbed pork ribs were the hearty and saucy type of ribs that any BBQ fan would enjoy. There was a good finger-licking balance of fatty meat and it fell right off the bone. Plus, it was massive and the five of us were stuffed from this serving. What I really liked is that they serve their food on wooden carving boards so each dish is easily shared especially if you have a big party. Deep fried bacon - this dish would make any American proud. Succulent bacon is coated in fried goodness. It is crisp and crunchy and is like a refined pork rind. It is no wonder this is one of their most popular dishes because it is such a delectable guilty pleasure. This one was gobbled up in seconds. Soft-shell crab burger - This was probably one of the best soft-shell crab variations I've had. The pillow-like softness of the bread just worked really well with the crunch of the crab. The meat also was fresh and substantial even for a soft-shell crab. Fish and Chips - really good IPA batter on the fish and I like the large size because it reminds me of fish and chips from London. The F&B Beef Burger and the Curried Chickpea Pie were also very good. DRINKS Great beers - Hipster Pale Ale and the Sommer's Blonde Ale. Both were lighter beers and paired really well with the saltiness of the meats. The blonde ale was especially good. We also had their cider which was a fruity yet smooth drink with only a slight alcoholic finish. DESSERT Sticky Toffee Pudding, Deep Fried Apple Pie - somehow despite the large portion sizes, we had room for dessert and both the toffee pudding and apple pie were fantastic though I'd give the edge to the toffee pudding. It's a rocking great time all around as they'll be playing all of the hits from the 80s and 90s. Being across the street from a small farm (with cute animals!) and lots of open space means Fork & Bottle is the perfect place for an outdoors brunch with lots of friends just enjoying great food and drink. Inside there are multiple floors and a rustic ambiance for a rollicking great dinner or lunch. For Swiss citizens, this is a great example of artisanal American cuisine done well. For travelers from the States, this is a piece of home if you're feeling homesick. Definitely recommend Fork & Bottle to all. Will be back to try their Fried Chicken Fridays!
We were in Zurich for three nights on vacation and we wound up eating at Fork & Bottle two of those nights - it was that good! 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! read more
5 stars for the outside seating area alone! What a gorgeous atmosphere to enjoy some food & a drink after walking the nearby trails! The buffalo wings were tasty and quite spicy, so if you don't enjoy a higher spice level... this wouldn't be for you. The service was great and our server answered our questions and was so kind to our doggy companion! I would definitely come back to enjoy this spot again. read more

Great place to stop by after a long hike and enjoy the outdoor space in the yard. I tried the oatmeal stout which had a a great subtle chocolate + coffie taste. The fried chicken sandwich was pretty good but truffle mac n cheese was a bit bland. PS: There's a very warm and friendly dog inside read more

Wow, that's what I call a burger!!! And a vegetarian one as such! I had the beethroot-chickpees burger with mngo chuttney and it was awesome! So spicey, so tasty so yummy! The bun was deliciously soft and fluffy and the chuttney gave it a special Indian feel to it. Add the amazing truffle fries, the superbe location and the incredibly charming service and you have a success guarantee for a great evening! Cannot wait to come back and try the brunch, I hear it must be fantastic! read more
This place has been recently taken over by new ownership and one thing they have got going for them is their beer selection. A delightful selection of boutique brews from Switzerland, Italy and the States (from where ultimately the new owners originate). They do come with a price tage though with some beers costing up to 30CHF for a 750ml long neck. Worth getting down for Happy Hour in that case which tends to run from 17-19 Uhr. The food is fine-dining pub grub. I.e. Gourmet burgers, honey baked ribs, fish and chips etc. There were no complaints on the food from the table I was eating with. The location is a winner - right on the walking track next to Saalsporthalle andhas a sensational beer garden out the front and some farm animals located next door provide any children with required entertainment. The interior has maintained its traditional Swiss restaurant feel. read more
Fork and Bottle didn't really surprise me - not because it was bad but because I had already heard so much good stuff and it lived up to all of the expectations! We went there for Sunday brunch and even though the place was quite full, the waiters were extremely accommodating and friendly. Now, on to the important stuff. The food. The American Brunch Menu was rather short, however, it was in no way inferior to any of the breakfasts I had in the US: From American breakfast staples such as Eggs Benedict and Pancakes, to more adventurous culinary masterpieces such as the Brioche Cinnamon French Toast with Pecan Butter as well as nods to our Swiss cuisine with the small pieces of (fantastic) Zopf in our breadbasket - everything was so yummy! We were joking that Fork and Bottle must be an American enclave to be serving such authentic American breakfast. We will definitely be back! read more

What an incredible first meal and experience, celebrating our arrival night in Zurich. A warm friendly atmosphere with a dedicated kids play area (thank you). We were greeted by Nick who was attentive and helpful the entire meal. The food was delicious - both kids ate (which says a lot). I have some dietary issues and they accommodated my request for their delicious pulled pork on top of a salad. My wife got the lamb burger and it was so good, and the fried chicken on Fridays is apparently insane. Ask the owner Mike for great beer recommendations. read more

Some colleagues recommended Fork & Bottle, I'm so glad I came to check it out. The service is excellent and friendly, menus are in English. We each got the lamb burger which was outstanding, followed by the lemon meringue pie which was to die for. Only a ten minute walk from the Four Points Sihlcity. read more
How I secretly wish Los Angeles has such a cool, relaxed place like Fork & Bottle! The atmosphere, food, and location is the perfect place to kick back with friends, grub, and kick back. It is set in a beautiful open space with an amazing outdoor space with plenty of seats. Oh, there are animals right next door too! (FYI the animals actually do not belong to them). We were seated immediately and got right to ordering. Drinks: They offer a wide variety of different artisenal beers I have never heard of and all sounded delicious. We went with the hipster pale ale and sommer's blonde ale, both were on the lighter side. I enjoyed the blonde ale for its sweeter, fruitier taste. Food: Appetizers: We started out with a deep fried bacon that was highly recommend and the warm spinach & artichoke dip. That deep fried bacon was everything and more, it was crispy good with a sweet maple mayo. The spinach & artichoke dip with local chips was ooey gooey good comfort food. For the mains: - F&B Beef Burger: A good solid american burger with tasty cheddar and house corn. - 10 hour house smoked BBQ pork ribs: This dish was saucy good, the meat was very tender and fell off the bone. It comes with a side of fries and slaw, great dish to share! - Curried Chickpea pie: This was a very interesting dish that was almost like a pot pie drizzled in a delicious curry sauce and a light salad. A good change for your taste palate. - Fish and Chips: The fish and chips had a delicious crispy batter with fresh big pieces of fish inside. - Soft shell crab burger: This was probably my favorite dish for the night because I just love crab that much! It was crunchy but still had a good amount of crab meat on a soft buns. It came with a side of minted peas & tartar which had a nice touch to the traditional fish & chips. We were so full already but have to always save room for dessert! We got the sticky toffee pudding and deep fried apple pie. The sticky toffee pudding was rich, warm, and delicious. The deep fried apple pie is a popular favorite served with maple syrup, hazelnuts, and cinnamon ice cream. Overall, such a great place with good solid food and portions. They also offer a cool summer music concert series and have Fried Chicken Fridays. Definitely need to come back! read more
Came here for Sunday Brunch and I was satisfied. I didn't think much of the food for dinner (friend chicken and burger), but brunch I def recommend. It wasn't "crazy wow", but it was good so that's and A for Zurich food at least. Had the Veggie Burrito and came with roasted potatoes. It was dolloped with guac and jalapeños and appreciated that. It was good tasteful and filling. Pricey, but good for a brunch out if you want to take an out of towner somewhere and you're half paying for ambiance. It was nice to eat outside with the view of the mountains. Americano coffee was good. read more
