It is very convinient if you need something fast, they have from everything a bit. I always go here for lunch at around 12:30. It's very disappointing that at that time there are almost no bread roles anymore. And the salad choice is very limited (only two) and soups as well. You would think that in a small Migros like this one here they would have more choice for take-out.

The computer game animations are plotted in screen resolutions of the first online services in the 80s. Shown are cartoon like scenes of shopville. There is also a little augmented reality effect. Sometimes you see more, if you watch them with your mobile. Cool also to vary the music your listening to, when watching them. Try it for example with Skrillex Bangarang.

There is a large SwissSmile dental practice that is open on Saturdays. The jewel is the Migros, especially on Sundays. It is large and well appointed but expect long lines and hostile crowds. There are very clean toilets on the 2nd floor but they cost 2chf to use.

Note: this review is only for coffee service at the bar…read more I've been a few times already to the bar of the Markthalle resto for a cafe crema or two and a schale. The schale is akin to a bitchin' latte a la 'third wave coffee' and, three times now, I've been very happy with both the flavor and the appearance. If you're a bit of a coffee snob, and wandering around the Markthalle (trams 4, 17, 13/Dammweg stop), then order a Schale at the bar. You'll probably be happy that you did so! During the day, there usually only seems to be one person working the bar (which is of fairly decent size) that also services the floor, so you may have a wee wait when ordering your drink.

Really unique find in Zurich during my travels. I was tired at looking at bougie and $$$ shops so…read moreI'm happy I was able to see this hidden gem. This place has small interdependently owned shops so each step you take brings you to a different shop. There is everything for everyone! There were cheese shops, Italian food, beer/liqueur, a restaurant in the back, small bakery, a section of teas, cheeses/dried meats, fish market & perfect if you wanna take a small trinket home. The night that I came in they had a small band playing in the front so it had a nice ambiance to the space. I strongly recommend to visit this place, and don't forget to bring a large bag to put in your new goodies!

I'm certain that I do not need to review this amazing store, but I will anyways, just for kicks…read more The displays are inviting, wanting you to shop for these attractively laid out items despite what your bank account tells you. High end merchandise, friendly staff, and ample areas to roam about as you take in the beauty of this store. We ended up in the area that sells food, wines, and cheeses. WOW is all that I can say. Each item seems as though it is was hand polished, set down with precision, only waiting for you to pick it up and place it in your basket. The cheese, chocolates, wines, all so spectacular in their own right. No on argues that this store is more expensive than others such as COOP, or Migros, but they are in different leagues. The wine department has a beautiful assortment of wines, liquors, and spirits with very thoughtful associates able to answer many questions. We enjoyed this very much. This store is designed for those who are able to spend their money without worrying about what the bill looks like. With that being said, we walked out without buying anything as we just started our day in Zurich. This store is mesmerizing, you must stop in and appreciate its beauty, even if you don't plan on buying anything. It is simply a treat.

Wow! This is coop on speed! This shop has literally everything: their produce section is amazing…read moreand they have a lot of bio options. The shop also contains a cheese shop (inside the shop) where they sell 180+ cheeses. On top of that, they sell dry aged beef. Not the type to cook with all these gorgeous products? No worries: they also sell a wide variety of ready made snacks and meals (fancy anti-pasta: check!), they even sell fries so no need to smell up your house next time you need a carb fix. Or just grab some chocolates from their huge wall of Lindt chocolate, they even sell packages geared for tourists - easy to take abroad as a gift. The liquor department is huge, I love the fact that they have a very extensive selection of smaller bottles of wine. Often these mini bottles are filled with crappy wine but here I found good quality Barolo and Amarone so a single girl can't complain! Another plus is that between all the premium stuff, they still sell their own "prix-garantie" line which is the lower priced house brand so you don't need to spend a fortune if you don't want to. This is easily my favorite coop in Zurich, the fact that it comes with easy parking (not free but where is there free parking in Zurich?) makes it a must-go.

This place is huge, I think they call it a mega store or something like that. Located on the 2nd…read morefloor of the mall, it has pretty much everything you could possibly need. The first time I was trying to buy hard liquor for a party, I walked around the store a bunch of times and couldn't find it--the wine section only sold wines! Then I realized that the liquor was outside in the front, at a kiosk-looking thingie. It also took me a while to figure out how to use the Coop passabene. If you sign up for the free Coop Supercard membership, you can pick up a green bar code scanner, scan all your purchases as you put them in your cart, and then get into a special line to check out without having to put all your groceries on the conveyor belt. Just hand the scanner to the checker, and BAM, you're done! (Well, you also have to pay.) It's fun to scan and quick to check out. They also have full-size plastic bags for free at the checkout, unlike the dinky little flimsy ones at Migros. Very important in a country that makes you bring your own grocery bags or pay CHF 0.30 per paper bag. ;)

A mall is a mall is a mall, but not really. This lovely array of eateries, specialty shops, and…read morestores is lovely. We are not mall people, but this was a treat to see how malls differ in Switzerland from that in the USA. We were able to freely roam about the mall, taking in a beautiful assortment of stores, all displaying their goods in a tempting way. There was a national book fair going on so different areas of the mall were displaying books in interesting ways, all enticing in their own right. We were also able to inquire about railway options for our trip to Zermatt the next day, a helpful kiosk to offer advice and tickets if needed. We bought some nice items that are unique to Switzerland and found some wonderful books to bring back home.

When I step in here, it reminds me as if I am home in the US all of a sudden, so you know it's the real deal. There are tons of stores in here for shopping and also a good sized area for food with sushi, Thai, wraps, Italian, sandwiches and coffee. There are many various clothing and accessory shops, and even has an official Apple store here, which was quite useful for me! The bus that comes here runs often (94,787) to transfer to tram 9 and also there is a huge parking lot for those who drive; so it's quite easy to get to if your starting point is around the HB.

It's a huge department store in the city center of Zurich with floors of everything from fashion to food. I only visited the food department which is located on the lower level so I can only describe my experience there. There are rows of foods from around the world and a large section of wines from around the world. They also have a decent Swiss wine section. The cheese humidor here is worth just popping into. It had the most amazing variety of cheeses from around the world. The fresh produce is also of the highest quality. There are a handful of restaurants in here serving cuisines from different parts of the world. We visited one called Nippon Sushi and the chef there made us an Omakase menu comprised of the chefs selection of sushi on the day. It was amazingly good and super fresh. You can lock me up in this place and throw the key away :-) an exquisite place to visit, browse and have a meal :-)

I'm glad I found a Groupon for a fantastic meal for two. Afterward, I went across to Mövenpick to sample a variety of red wines before picking out a lovely bottle from Chile. It's self-service, so you can pour yourself whatever you want to taste from all the bottles on display. At the register, I suddenly remembered that I had some UBS Keyclub points to redeem, so I was able to knock off CHF 20 from the purchase price. Awesome. Then I went upstairs to the always busy m.a.c. cosmetics counter, but a sales associate was quick to help me with my purchase, and then I was merrily on my way. Always an awesome experience at this upscale department store, but be prepared to shell out some big bucks.
