While on an overnight layover in Zurich - technically Kloten where the airport is located - we…read moredecided we wanted to try to eat something relatively Swiss even though there are a plethora of Asian restaurants all around. This quaint restaurant nestled between stores and flats was walking distance from our hotel.
We ended up ordering beef stroganoff which featured tender beef cubes in a rich, savory sauce and house made egg noodles and veggies. Stick-to-your-ribs goodness. We also got an order of Argentine empanadas since the menu boasted they were a house recipe. They were just the right combination of savory meat and flaky, fried dough. They were light considering and came with a crisp, fresh salad. Though neither dish were traditional Zurich fare, we enjoyed eating al fresco on the patio adjacent to a small green space behind some flats. The patio had the loveliest flowers around it, and the tempt was perfect for eating outdoors. Service was very good. Like most service we've experienced in Europe, the server is attentive until your meal is served and then you are left in peace to enjoy your meal. We would eat there again and recommend it if you are staying overnight near Zurich International Airport. The only drawback was that there were few options for gluten free diners which we've found to be relatively typical.
