It is a beloved French-Swiss restaurant hidden away in a historic, idyllic inner courtyard in Zurich's Old Town. Located at Nagelhof 3, 8001 Zürich, it offers a charming Mediterranean ambience paired with fresh Provencal market cuisine. It is widely celebrated by locals and visitors as one of the most romantic dinner spots in the city. Service was excellent and highly recommend the seafood bisque.

The answer was yes but we could only have table for 90 min ( we gladly accepted). Outstanding menu. Very friendly service. Nice selection of wines by the glass. Entrees were great. Didn't get dessert bcuz we ran out of time and they did not offer ( fair is fair- our time was up). Nothing in Zurich is cheap but the prices were not over the top. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal.

Over the years the Restaurant Markthalle has improved its variety of offering and taste…read more Lunch is pretty sweet here, it is located in Kreis 4 near the Viadukt and the wait for food is average-okayish for Zurich Swiss restaurant standards. The prices are also average decent for Swiss food (ranging from CHF 25-45) especially when you take in the quality/care taken in the preparation of the food, and the very good service I get each time I am here. Regionally sourced foods and wines - with the fresh and wholesomeness you'd expect of Swiss cuisine. Vegetarians/Flexitarians will like this place, as their veggie offering has always delighted me such as the seasonal offering of mashed sweet potatoes topped with lentils and roasted shallots. As the menu changes time to time, it makes coming here exciting so don't get stuck on one dish. I did experience one appetizer once a few years ago that I wasn't crazy about (pulpo in soy) but as they can be experimental the things that may not sound right to you off hand is a hit or miss. If you are unsure, I'd suggest asking the friendly, good service wait staff here for recommendations. The slight drawback is that the lay out of this restaurant (as it is located in a market hall) may give the feeling to some that it is a canteen setting in a restaurant, but the excellent services makes up for that lack of character. Also a positive is it can be good for slightly larger groups. Upon my last visit, they even amped up the service by bringing cooked bones in a stainless steel dog bowl for my friend's dog immediately after seating us - and we didn't even ask for it! (We immediately declined it due to concerns over risk of splinters in digestion due to them being cooked) There are also some savvy/traditional appetizer dishes - to which I was fortunate enough to dine with a Swiss foodie/chef here to try them all... I suggest you also nab a Swiss foodie here to try out some of the offerings and see how it goes! As of July 2017, they no longer open on Sundays - I used to go to their brunches on a blue moon.

This review is for the second floor caviar store. I spent about 5 minutes here and all the while…read morethe only person on the store, the saleswoman, was charting on the phone. The prices are high. 21 swiss franks for a small portion of bilini is crazy. The foie gras was 60 franks for a jar which I bought in Paris de Galle for 39. They have a decent selection of caviar and I would have bought some, despite the high markup, if the saleswoman payed any attention. I haven't tried the caviar bar downstairs but the store near the lounge, which is pack and go, disappointed. For the markup, which is at least triple price, you really need to get off the cell and more on the sale!

The lady who helped me for foie gras was nice and helpful but when I went back for caviar, it was a nightmare. I asked the lady to show me the prices so my friends can pick, she put up the price list and Asim Aji (he refused to give me his name but I saw his name tag so he gave up) showed up and told her he would take care of the cashier. While I was waiting for my friends to message me which one she wants. He started teasing " Are you here just to look? Taking pictures? It is not to polite to just take pictures!" When I told him which one my friends want, he said it is out of stock. Due to his attitude before and there are so many containers in the display window, I unintentionally asked "Is it? But there are so many cans here? " He got angry and start shuffling the cans and made noise with those empty cans. And that's when I asked for his name and then he kept saying his name is not important...then I saw his name tag and requested to talk to the lady. After the lady came back, I asked the lady if it's out of stock and she said yes nice and professionally like all other people do and then I left. Thank you for caviar house prunier at Zurich airport, I ended this trip with a terrible memory.

Great location and this place, right on the shores of Lake Zurich. It is a walk from public…read moretransportation but it is worth it since you are walking along the shores of the lake. Very romantic and beautiful. The restaurant is fine dining and pricey, but worth every penny. They have an outdoors bar area where you can watch the sunset. All dishes were executed perfectly, great white and red wine selections. My fish was cooked perfectly, crispy skin, server with purple cauliflower, green asparagus and mashed potatoes, everything made sense in the dish the textures and layers of pallet appetizing ingredients. Appetizer had one of the best burrata's I have had served with farm to table tomatoes. The dessert apple strudel, typical German desert executed very well served warm with vanilla ice cream was perfect. I am highly recommending this place!

You can have small things to snack or even something to eat (3 - 4 meals) that they prepare in the kitchen. At weekends you can have brunch here. They have 4 options, starts from 11 Sfr. The staff is very friendly, sometimes even funny. When the weather is good then the bar is really full. But I think they have a lot of competition across the river. You have there a cooler bar :) And I have to admitt that the food is better at the other side. This place is perfect to just have a beer and a snack. Big dining out is not really an option for me.
