Amazing customer service where they like to make things happen for the customer. To begin with they…read moreaccommodate us ahead of our scheduled reservation time which in itself was phenomenal, given how busy the restaurant was at the time. Ksanet, Bianka and Rui were amazing in their own rights and definitely were humans first and Lumiere employees second and forth. Not only did they serve us but gave us a few moments from their tight schedules to walk us through about how we could make use of a Sunday ( Switzerland for the most part is closed on Sunday's and we were not prepared for that :( ). These folks had some amazing suggestions to make through and through and helped us a lot with our questions about Switzerland and travels in general. The ambiance was stunning and the place was packed and had moderate amount of noise in there attributing to the conversations. The interiors were pretty amazing and well thought out and depicted the history of Lumiere. We ordered a side salad, octopus with sliced potatoes, tuna tartare on avocado bed and for dessert we got ourselves the lime tart. The octopus dish was outstanding just like the tuna tartare where we enjoyed every bite slowly. The salad was put together very well and the dessert topped it all off to call it an evening. This place definitely should definitely be in your list to visit in Zurich and given its proximity to Zurich HB it's an easy decision to make ( even if you had to come out of your way to grab a bite here it will be so well worth it).

Found this restaurant via yelp. Got there around 10, but they hadn't started serving lunch yet, and…read moresince I wasn't in the mood for breakfast I just had dessert. I tried this fun thing called Hausgemachtes Öpfelchüechli mit Vanillesauce ... which is basically like fried apple rings with vanilla sauce. It was pretty decent, and not too heavy, but nothing to write home about. Also, I know Europeans have a different pace of life, but I kept trying to get the waiters attention (since we were in a bit of a rush) and he kept kinda just ignoring me or giving me one of those "yeah, yeah get back in your seat and i'll get to you when I get to you" kinda looks. Wasn't much appreciated. Anyway, I haven't really had their food here, so maybe that might win me over ... if I'm ever in the area again! Stay Cheerful ;)

We started with the artichoke, which was very good, and for the main course we had the sole fish in butter -- absolutely amazing. So flavorful yet light, not heavy at all. Can't wait to come back!

During a two day stay in Zurich my son and I stopping into B-Lipp for lunch at noon. We were asked…read moreif we had a reservation (we did not) and they did seat us rather quickly. My son and I ordered a French Onion soup for each of us and a large bucket of Mussels. Service up until the serving of the soup was very good and after became excellent. While enjoying our soup my son remembered that he had an appointment close by and had to leave for that appointment but not before finishing the excellent soup. When the waiter returned to clear our soup bowls he inquired as to where my son was, and I told him what happened. He said no problem he will hold the mussel order until he gets back (by now the restaurant was full) which I thought was so nice. He held the order for 90 Minutes!!! All the while as I asked him to please place the order to turn the table he insisted that it was ok. My son returned we devoured the delicious mussels had an espresso and let a big tip. It was a very nice thing the waiter did and we surly enjoyed our food.

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 note, the host stretched out my sweater when he inserted the hanger via the neck hole rather than the bottom -- please don't do that again.
