We went here based upon our hotel's recommendation. Se had the white asparagus and fondue with all of the ingredients except the truffles. Wine was the fume blanc and the Merlot blend. The desert was the meringue and fruit. This was best dining experience since we had David as our server. He was outstanding, knowledgeable, and entertaining. The restaurant was well appointed and we strongly recommend it when in Zurich. read more

This place was so wonderful! It was a our first fondue experience in Switzerland. It was very busy and they still seated us immediately. It was a cozy but large space. They used their space very well to allow a lot of customers. We got the traditional fondue with bread and a side of rosti with cheese. The fondue itself was wonderful but we are biased because it was our first one in Switzerland. The rosti was okay. It really would taste better without the extra cheese on there. Overall, if you're in the area, I highly suggest this place!!! read more

Amazing experience tonight at this place. Had both the traditional cheese fondue and the beef bouillon fondue. Cheese with the bread they serve is amazing. The beef, Veal and chicken worked awesome in the bouillon. Desserts were amazing as well. Had the Pear Sorbet with Pear Williams liquor poured into it. So tasteful. So worth coming to this place. The service is on top it it all. Our guy killed it. read more

We had a long layover in Zurich so went into town and got some fondue. Sat outside since we read that many other fondue places that doesn't have outdoor seating will make you smell like cheese, and we didn't want that! Besides the perk of outdoor seating, the fondue was very delicious and bubbling hot when served and we also got some local house white wine and it was very good too! Our meal came out to about $71 Swiss francs which is about $90 USD read more

Service was awesome and they took good care of us in serving beers and wine. The fondue was really good and we had one of each for 5 of us. My fav was the mushroom, but I really wanted to like the truffle/mushroom. Cute little place near Geossmünster cathedral. Only issue we had was when we ordered veggies to dip in the fondue they steamed them overdone. Otherwise, a really great place for some authentic Swiss fondue! read more

First, I highly recommend making a reservation. There were a bunch of groups waiting even before it opened. Second, we are tourists and came here for the fondue. This was a recommended place by many. We ordered the regular cheese and it came with pieces of bread. My family and I didn't really like it, to be honest. It didn't really taste like cheese, and more like alcohol. It was 30 euros per person. Lastly, the service and ambience were great. If I came here again I'd order something else. read more

Le Dézaley - Fondue - Fondue Near Me - Zürich, ZH

Called the restaurant around 7:30pm as we didn't have a reservation, and they said come over and they would work us in. Met Marcello (sp) at the door, a very jovial and welcoming soul, and he took our name down. You could tell there was a good mix between locals and tourists waiting for tables. Within 20 minutes we were being seated inside the larger room which was very full and the tables were very close together, yet the vibe was like one big party. Great ambiance! Our server Antonio greeted us with a warm smile and could tell of German was limited. He spoke great English, and suggested some great wine choices. We ordered the Fondue they are know for and he brought out the huge pot with a large basket of pieced bread. Wine was good, Fondue was great, although they need to have a smaller size, as it was A LOT of cheese between the two of us. We also ordered the Gerkin pickles with pearl onions and the ROSTI which gave us a flavor of our own beloved hash browns we enjoy in the US. The evening was a fun, new experience and we even ordered dessert, which was an ice cream dish with crispy raspberry type fried balls. To say the least, we were stuffed as we left and used the window shopping in that area to walk off all that tasty fare. Highly recommend this establishment, and especially Antonio. Great restaurant for larger parties that can share the massive amount of fondue. read more

So as we were preparing for our trip to Zurich, I started looking at some of the cuisines I wanted to make sure we enjoyed. On this list was definitely Fondue because we are in Zurich after all. I asked the hotel to make a reservation and we made our way over for our 18:00 reservation where we were promptly greeted. I will say the service was absolutely great and our server was friendly, humorous, and very helpful throughout the meal. The décor was nice and "homey" inside and it was a very cozy setting. We ordered a bottle of vino (really solid) which was priced very reasonably. After a glance through the menu, we decided to get the sliced veal "Zurich style" and the traditional cheese fondue (serving for one person) including the pickles and the potatoes on the side. The wine was out very quickly and then a basket of bread (broken into pieces) provided for the fondue. As a quick side note, it seems they do offer re-fills for bread as we were offered but declined when we had wrapped up the fondue part. The fondue itself was delicious and not as "heavy" as I thought it would be. The cheese was great and the texture was perfect for dipping the potatoes and bread. The cheese felt like a very deep complexity and blend which was great. The veal was also great. Very tender and the sauce (gravy?) was complimentary to the meat. This was a really solid meal in Old Town Zurich. I am glad we gave it a shot and definitely would recommend for folks looking for that fondue experience. read more

Deceptively large restaurant compared to the quaint entrance on a cobblestone side street. A big focus on fondue, which seems to attract a large tourist crowd. Although the fondue is really tasty, try to sample some of the Vaudois dishes since they're quite unique for the Eastern part of Switzerland. Malakoff Vaudois Sur Salade (Cheese Dough Sticks with Salad): Having read about malakoff as an interesting food to try in Switzerland, I was determined to find some in Zurich. Thankfully this place offers quite a few Vaudois specialties, which are otherwise hard to come by in this part of Switzerland. Saying it's like a mozzarella stick doesn't really do it justice since the cheese is so much more complex. Very intense actually, so worked perfectly against the semi-bitter greens and tart salad dressing. Also, batter around the cheese is more bread-like almost like it's a pão de queijo on the outside. Quite memorable and delicious! Notre Fondue au Fromage (Cheese Fondue): Yes, fondue is a must at least once during your visit to Switzerland. Even if it's not winter, a big pot of melted cheese will taste delicious on a summer evening too. And extremely filling! Didn't order any thing extra to dip, just stuck with the default bread cubes and it was fine. Really got appreciate the complex blend of cheeses which have so much more personality than fondue found in the U.S. read more

Exceptional experience and exceptional fondue. Cannot wait to come back next time I am in Zürich! We stopped by for dinner on a Friday evening and were seated immediately. Our waiter was fast and so helpful. We told him we would love a recommendation on the best fondue options, and he suggested allowing him to pick! He suggested their house fondue cheese, a meat plate, a bowl of pickled vegetables, potatoes, and their house white wine. We agreed to it all and it was DIVINE! read more

Never even got a chance to eat here. We came here one night desperate for a good meal and very tired from travel. And the staff stared at us for around 5 minutes and never walked up to us to seat us at a table. We then came back thinking it was a miscommunication. We came back the next day. We stood there for a minute or two and the restaurant was empty. Nobody saw us or came up to us to seat us at a table so we left again. Absolutely horrible customer service. The place just gave off very bad vibes. Go to Adlers for fondue instead they are much nicer. Some of the worst customer service I've seen in a long time. If you won't have a host to seat people then don't put up a sign asking them to wait to be seated. And don't open your doors for business if you're going to Make people stand and wait without even speaking to them or acknowledging them. What an awful restaurant. read more

It's a gem. Big place nestled in a quiet alley, but make sure you have reservations because they're very popular. Went there twice in a row and both times were packed but they are not extremely touristy despite the location. It totally makes sense because their food is THAT good. They're serving serving traditional Swiss dishes like fondue & herb sausages (which are amazing). The place is charming and the staff is very cheerful. Their fondue is very good and not as "heavy", you can see there's a complex depth of flavors working their magic. The veal pieces are cooked to perfection and the mushroom sauce is to die for, so I mopped the plate with the amazing bread they serve. It's not the cheapest meal you'll have but I think the price is pretty reasonable. read more

Horrible service. The waiter was rude and acted like he didn't gave time to serve us. Brought over a fondue with the flame turned all the way up and burnt the cheese.

After a most amazing meal in Interlaken the evening before, it was hard to compare this. I think it was a decent meal... but no one I'd repeat. It's in the old town tourist area, but it wasn't too crowded. We got the fondue pleasure meal 1 and 2- in order to try a variety. Food was plentiful and price reasonable for the location. The cheese fondue was by far the best. The meat tray was quite nice as well. The beef fondue was fine- I'm not a huge fan of cooking my meat in oil (but it was fun to try). The deserts could have gone away - the pear ice cream was in a very strong liquor (not to any of our tastes). read more

TOURIST TRAP alert: Stay away, especially if you are a tourist. much better options that make much better fondue. Service was bad and they made it clear they didn't care. At the end they try to demand we tip them and hassled us about it (no one tips in Zurich, it's against their culture) because they wanted to take advantage of us for being tourists. Avoid at all costs. read more

TERRIBLE TOURIST TRAP -- this placed charged me double the cost of what I ordered and refused to correct the bill. They then tried to charge me in foreign currency for a 4% up charge, though I did not opt into that choice. I knew when I walked in that this place was garbage and should've trusted my instinct. read more

A hidden gem in an alleyway in Old Town, Zurich. My team and I came here to try fondue, as we were advised by the local that this is one of the most famous restaurants in Zurich! They take reservations which is great if you want to avoid waiting. Now onto the food, I was skeptical at first because I'm neutral towards cheese at best. However, the Swiss fondue we got really blew me away! It was served in a pot and you should order potatoes, corn, pickles and bread to dip them into fondue. Best part about the fondue is the dry somewhat charred part at the end where it basically tasted like crunchy grilled cheese. We also got the meat fondue which was basically a pot of oil that you can cook your beef stew in. A solid choice to complement the cheese. Overall, I'd say this is a must try when you are in Switzerland!!! read more

We had a few hour layover in Zurich on our way to South African and it was a strong suggestion that we make our way into town for dinner. We found this restaurant on yelp and decided to give it a try. We went for the meat plate and cheese fondue. It was the best we have ever had in our lives. Great service with a very welcoming staff, the pricing was reasonable for Zürich being the most expensive city In Europe and an old world ambience and charm that can't be beat. We coupled this with a bottle their house wine ( which was by the way...really good). For our first time in Zürich, it was a little tricky taking the subway into town, so we opted for a taxi back to the airport. Absolutely worth the effort for a wonderful dining experience. Just wish we were not in a rush. read more

Please avoid this spot even if it were recommended by your concierge! Service was bad. We were treated like we are one of the many tourists eager to try their fondue and zero effort was made to make us feel at home in relation to the prices they are charging. Waited for a long time at our table and had to flag down different people before someone could come by to assist us. Despite having a reservation, they sat us in an area where all other tourists were or how they believe an area should look like with the client representation (aka all the diversity and minorities) and all the locals or people they want to look like in the more pristine historic dining area. Every time we asked a question about the food, they were very impatient and made us feel like we are wasting their time. There are many touristy fondue places around like Swiss Chuchi who made us feel like we are well meaning customers and who have much better fondues. The good reviews on this restaurant came from people who were pristine enough to be seated in their historic dining area. All others who were deemed not to have the 'image' or 'background' they want are stuffed in another area like a herd to be treated than less but who also had to pay the same prices for mediocre services. read more

Very charming and cozy Swiss restaurant tucked away in the old town shopping area. It's right next to a church and off the main walking area. My husband and I shared the traditional fondue with added potatoes, and each got a drink. It's very expensive; €78 for our meal; but you won't find anything less in Zurich. Fondue is a must, and this place did not disappoint; just be prepared for the cost. read more

As for me, I love the Swiss red wine, prompt and friendly service, relaxed atmosphere, and of course the cheese fondue with the best bread.

What a gem in Zurich! Believe it or not, we had just one night in Zurich (actually the last night of our European vacation) and decided to go into the Zurich Marriott to talk to the Concierge to ask the question, with just one night in Zurich and looking to dine at a local casual Swiss restaurant where would you recommend? Le Dezaley was the response, and Le Dezaley it was! Not that I didn't rely on Yelpers to help with this important question, the simple truth was there were so many good restaurants to choose from, I sought a local to break the tie. Five stars hands down! Service was excellent! Our server Tisch was attentive, super friendly, made great recommendation for our fondue dinner and surperb tasting wine to go along with it! If you never tried a glass of Lune Blanche AOC Vaud - Les Freres Dubois S.A., I highly recommend it. Ron ordered the Aigle Les Murailles AOC Chablais - H. Badoux, Aigle and loved it. We started with with a mixed salad which we shared and was a good size to do so. Then we had the Kasefondue. This was cheese heaven if ever to be! It is served with tid bits of crusty French bread which the cheer stuck to like glue. The taste was out of this world and cheese was hot and bubbling. As an American, I am sure there were many other delectables one would serve to immerse in tasty cheese, but enjoying the European delight of wine, bread and cheese all I can say is wa la! For our main course we ordered the Fondue Plausch which was lean filet mignon and oh so tender. The atmosphere int he restaurant is warm and inviting which even extends to the patio and If I can say this was one of the cleanest restrooms I have ever been in at a restaurant - worth mentioning. If ever we find ourselves back in Zurich, I would defiantly return to Le Dezaley and if this is your opportunity, do go; I'm quite certain that you will not be dissatisfied, just know that a meal can be quite pricy. read more

We've visited this restaurant many times in the last 10 years and it's our favorite in Zurich. They do accept online reservations and will email you back a confirmation. They have been very accommodating with us in the past when we have missed our reservation time due to coming in on a late train. They actually held our table for us even though we were over an hour late. A reservation is not required but I highly recommend it because they are very popular and can get really busy. The food is great and authentic. Some our our favorite items were the sausage and rosti, the air dried beef and pork are delicious, and of course the fondue. Be sure to get the roasted potatoes in addition to the bread. Even the desserts we had were delicious. Overall the service is good. I think in all the trips we've had, there was only once when we didn't like the service very much. Other times the service has been excellent and they are quick to offer suggestions for how much food you need or what to order. This is the first place I recommend to any friends or family visiting Zurich. read more

Thank you Yelp! When I was in Zurich, I was looking for a fondue restaurant and via yelp, stumbled into this one. I had fondue twice in Zurich and I would say this one was better.

One of my travel companions ordered sausage with a side of fries. Fries + a hot pot of melting cheese... OH YEA!!! This restaurant is HIGHLY recommended!!!

I did some research for good restaurants in Zürich to have cheese fondue and Le Dezaley was mentioned as one of the best in town. Being fondue one of my favorite dishes and must-eat when I'm in Switzerland, I've had many over the last few years and sadly, the fondue at Le Dezaley really did not impress me. I might be wrong, but I also had the impression that this is a restaurant for tourists willing to taste one of the most famous Swiss dishes rather than a place for locals. Or perhaps locals just don't have fondue in Zürich and they wait until they do somewhere in the mountains. read more

Our wonderful Waiter, Mark, who works at Bindella in Old Town, recommended Le Dezaley for the best authentic Swiss Fondue experience. He was right. He even called them and made reservations for us. Thank you to Mark at I'm happy that he did, because even on Tuesday night, the restaurant filled up quickly. There are so many good things to say about Le Dezaley. First of all, we showed up before they were officially open, but the entire happy and friendly staff did not hesitate to welcome us, hang up our coats and seat us at the perfect table. Our Waitress (Tressa-sorry if I miss-spelled your name) was really fun. She gave us the perfect recommendations for menu choices. The Fondue is an old family recipe and it is so good! The family recipe Fondue was so tasty, not too thick or heavy, but creamy and flavorful. The menu had lots of choices. We were told that traditional Swiss Fondue, unlike our Americanized version, is served with bread. Just in case you are on a low carb diet, they throw in a bowl of adorable little potatoes as well. Also, disappointingly, we found out that there is NO Chocolate Fondue for dessert at any respectable authentic Fondue restaurant. Seems like a great invention for a Chocolate producing country...but I guess nobody thought it would be good -LOL. Tressa suggested the Apple Fritters and the Chocolate Mousse, which were both yummy! I've been told to always check out the cleanliness of a restaurant's bathroom at a restaurant, as it is a true reflection of the kitchen's cleanliness. Good news- Le Dezaley got an A+ ! . read more

Loved this place. My friend had been there and recommend it for some good Swiss fare. Fondue is their specialty but I wanted to try something a little different. Essentially I ate a wonderful thick slice of fried bread topped with oodles of cheese and fried onion....sounds plain enough but delicious. Don't forget to wash it down with a white wine. Service was great. Its tucked away, off the beaten path but worth it to find it. read more
