Vier Linden is a delightful spot, sufficiently removed from the…read moretouristy parts of Zürich (yet easily accessible from them) to have a local feel. There are really three stores here: a warm buffet, a bakery, and a restaurant. The restaurant has a small selection of prepared food, including a weekly special and daily special. The specials are a small assembly of diverse elements. You can get the specials in a large or small plate; the small plate was itself a good meal, so I imagine the large plate is pretty filling. The food is tasty and fresh. Well worth a visit. It may be the most affordable vegetarian restaurant food in Zürich.

This little bakery will deliver delectable pastries , rich espresso, and kind, welcoming service.read more

Moser's Backparadies - Zürich…read more As I walked one morning, exploring downtown Zürich, I wanted something local for breakfast. This place offers freshly baked sweet delights and sandwiches that are so good. OMG!!! I ordered flakey pretzel roll with salmon. It was simple, quick bite, but by far, one of my favorite salmon sandwiches I've had in such a long time. If you're a salmon lover, be sure to stop by for quick bite. Only bad thing I would say about this place is when you first come in through glass doors, to the right... deliciousness danger zone. They offer so many amazing, freshly baked pastries that is really tempting to order one of each. You do need to have will power to control yourself lol. You will find, "Erdbeertörtli," "Vanille Cornet," "Zitronentörtli," "Punschkugel," "Carac," and "Florentiner Gross." Prices are very reasonable too. Service great too. In all seriousness, I can't wait to return here. It's centrally located in downtown area, close to other great options for dining and shopping.

I stayed here for one night upon my arrival on Zürich. I wish I had booked a second night as it was…read morea welcoming place to stay. Alas, they were all booked up. This pension is located above/next to the cafe/bar of the same name. It's in a residential area but a short walk from tram lines and the Wipkingen train stop. These give quick access to the airport and downtown. You check in at the bar and receive a coupon for a free beer/coffee which is a nice touch. The 5 rooms are named after various fruits. I stayed in Cherry which is a single twin bed room. Despite being above a busy cafe/bar, my room was quiet and had a view over the street and patio for the cafe. The single bathroom is shared so there might be an issue with waiting, although I had no issues during my stay. I'd definitely stay there again if I return to Zurich. For the cafe, I took advantage of the season and drank gluhwein which was delicious. They were fairly crowded on a Thursday night which I took as a good sign. There is indoor and outdoor seating, with a fire pit outside. The morning I left, I had tea and scrambled eggs with chives. Tasty and a good start with some protein for the day. The cafe was lively even at 10am with lots of local residents. Check this place out if you're in Zurich!

Given the giant rectangle staring out at me from the Yelp main page, how could I not write my…read morereview for Kafischnaps ab sofort? :) -went to this place the other eve to meet some fab Zueri-Yelpers and had a very nice time indeed. Although I only had beer (a nice amber-ish one at that that the very charismatic and hip 'tender may have thought was dark beer, but no matter) I would be inclined to return as the overall vibe of the joint was casual and inviting. This place calls itself a 'Cafebar' and I would be inclined to go along with that. Have a coffee, a campari, wine or an ale while sitting with friends and chatting. There's grub in the form of soups, salads, sandwiches and such to fortify the tummy. As an after-dinner drink order a coffee with schnaps! If it weren't a good idea, then the place would be called something else, I should think. What I didn't realise until I checked out their website in greater detail is that Kafischnaps also offers accomodation for the Zurich visitor. They have five 'comfortable and price effective' rooms for the discerning traveler furnished by local designers. If I didn't already live here, then I'd be inclined to book a room. Kafischnaps...for the discerning guest wanting to experience a more 'locals only' Zurich.
