4/2/24 - After a morning touring with lots of walking, we were ready for some lunch. Our tour…read moreguide had stopped in front of this restaurant earlier and talked about it having been family run and locals concerned about what would happen as they sold it. She explained it still was a local favorite. So that's exactly where we headed when we wanted to stop and eat. Initially it wasn't busy and we were seated at round table easily seating 6. Ordering was a bit confusing. The waiter didn't seem to speak English. Some of the menu items were displayed in a case that included quite an array. We finally asked for something similar to a small charcuterie board, and of course asked for the house wine. Before long it arrived and after we started to eat another gentleman was escorted to our table and placed his own lunch order. He didn't speak any English and but we exchanged pleasantries. Soon after another gentleman he knew joined us. Then shortly there after another, who spoke English and we had quite a nice conversation together. We indeed enjoyed the food and low key atmosphere. But we will always remember these 3 retired architects who met decades ago when they came to take advantage of the lunch special and got to be friends. They also suggested a couple of things to see that weren't suggested by our guide that we later did go to see. It's why we love to go places the locals like! Would absolutely want to return to this place if we return to Zurich!

Lovely spanish food in very spanish ambiente. Not that it would be decorated in typical spanish…read morestyle, but there are a lot of spanish people in there and the sound level is as authentic as the food. We happened to be there during the European Football Championship and it was really great theatre to listen and watch the guys during the football match. I just asked myself how it would have been if SPAIN would have played... :-) The food is inexpensive, gorgeous and the portions are generous. The whole family works here. Mom in the kitchen (with some help), dad and a daughter in service. You have to try the tapas platter, but be aware of the fact, that it is massive! You can order a lot of different tapas based on the list in the menu, just tell them to leave off whatever you dont like. Come in and feel like in spain. A feast for eyes, ears, mouth and tummy...

We had a great dinner at this Spanish tapas restaurant near the train station in new town. Our…read moregroup of 4 shared a variety of traditional items from olives, jamon iberico, patas brava, shrimp in garlic butter and more. The menu is contained on an iPad and you can "heart" things as you peruse and add to your "wish" list-just like online shopping-except the ordering is via a real person, who in our case was Alexis. The atmosphere is nice and prices pretty reasonable for Switzerland and a nice change of pace.

We really enjoyed an unplanned, five course dinner at this fascinating restaurant. Unplanned…read morebecause we had no idea what Jose was going to serve as our menu was in his very capable hands. Five courses? Well, that's just how it worked out. We started our adventure with a dry, blonde sherry which led directly into fresh baked bread along with some incredibly good olive oil from Spain. The first course was an amazing, steamed artichoke to be shared by two people. One with thin strips of dried, smoked, salty pork and the other prepped delightfully for the vegetarian among us. The pork strips (not bacon) added an absolutely addictive quality to this dish. Our second course was outstanding. We enjoyed sliced, sautéed, porcini mushrooms. This is where the first wine of the evening was introduced - a valduero from 2007. The nose was fragrant, full and inviting. A really delicious red wine that complemented the next two courses beautifully. The third course featured 3 perfectly cooked, butterflied, steamed shrimp along with a few spoons of basmati rice. Now, I'm not a big fan of shrimp, but these were really delicious. Before the main course arrived, we were upgraded with a new bottle of wine from the same Vineyard and the same year but, this time a riserva. The nose was neutral in comparison to our first bottle. But after 30 minutes, the wine opened up and was an absolute delight with the rest of our meal. There were two main courses that were served shortly after opening our second bottle of wine. The first was the most beautiful Dover sole for our resident vegetarian who upgraded to Pescatarian for the evening. When it was brought around the table for inspection, I really thought we were all going to enjoy a bit of this fine fish. To my disappointment, and probably to piss off the animal lovers among us, three of us received filet mignon instead. Now that I know we have a choice between fish and beef, I'll cast my vote for the fish next time. Don't get me wrong, the meat was superb. I personally suffer a lot less when a multi-course dinner is served and I choose fish rather than red meat. But hey, that's just me. The side dishes offered at this time included some really nice side dishes such as steamed vegetables with butter, sautéed Swiss chard, and cooked spinach. Most of us were completely satisfied after the third course. Just sayin'. Unusually, we didn't have a Digestivo that evening but, a few of us opted to sample their desserts. Which included a rich, dense, chocolate cake as well as crema Catalana. My two cents: if you haven't eaten enough, try the chocolate cake. But, if you've had plenty to eat and simply want to experience a delightful and authentic Catalonian dessert, the crema Catalana can't be missed. So, to summarize and justify our four star rating: The food was excellent. The restaurant was much noisier than expected. The owners did nothing over the years to buffer the sound so, if you're looking for a place to have a romantic, quiet evening of discussion, this is not the place for you. Hard wooden floors and plain wooden chairs, wooden walls and wooden ceilings encourages a noisy, cafeteria type atmosphere. The food is first class. The atmosphere is friendly, country tavern. The service was superb. We'll be back for sure. The four of us spent 600 CHF for this culinary adventure.
