It's slow, they take their time, but the food we've had, not too shabby. Not only does it boast a menu with lots of meat, but it's also certainly a seafood place, and regards seafood standards of this country (since it's landlocked), the seafood that came with this paella was pretty good. Moist, huge portion and nicely served by the servers, it yield a good variety and portion of seafood as well as provided a decent texture and taste without being overpowering. I've had much better paella in Barcelona, but hey again, we are not in Spain... so you make do. After dinner since you are in Langstrasse, there are plenty of cool bars to wash down the mega paella portion you've just eaten. They say the paella is to share between two, but I will argue with you and say it's better shared with three. This is probably when the only time three is not a crowd but a good company!

From the owner: Spezialitätenbuffet vom Lavasteingrill und von ausgewählten Speisen…read more Sehr erlesen präsentiert sich das Spezialitätenbuffet im "Sala Santa Isabel". Es locken Roastbeef, geräucherter Thunfisch oder Iberico- Schinken mit Melone, danach Fleisch- und Fischspezialitäten vom Lavasteingrill, ergänzt um edle Beilagen wie gebackene Zucchiniblüten und auf Meersalz und Zitronen gegarte Kartoffeln, alles verfeinert mit frischen Kräutern aus dem Klostergarten. Ein Highlight im Restaurantinterieur ist die Apothekerwand. Was sich wohl hinter den vielen Schubladen an Essenzen und Heilmitteln verbirgt? Dazu fragen Sie am besten unseren kundigen Service. Vorweg noch ein Tipp: Testen Sie unbedingt unseren Kräuter-Haustrunk "Apotheke". Bom apetite!

But Pergola's less exterior presence doesn't mean that interior offerings are less worthy though one could say the interior furnishings are a-okay/kind of dated. In fact, all meat and fish lovers who love a hard bargain should come to Pergola instead. Pergola is great when you are with some friends or family, feeling ravenous and want to be feed with great meat and fish/squid dishes without falling over the bill. Pergola is Italian/Portuguese food, so you cannot do wrong with one or the either. Be careful - the menu is quite extensive too. For the starters I would highly recommend the Sepia (Squid). Enough to nibble between 2-3 people, but they do serve this as a main course with Spanish rice. For the main, depending on what you like, get either the sepia/fish or go for the meat! I ordered a steak entree for two and received a portion so generous I was ready to call up my other friend to come over and help me finish it. The steak entree for two was nicely served in two courses, so that while you are eating the first portion, the second portion is sitting in a warm area, so that when you are served again you are still eating a very nice meal. This type of good service with reasonable prices and tasty, well portioned food is not something you will find much of in Zurich. The customers are in general pretty friendly so don't worry about chatting up someone in another group behind/across from you. The service is very good and I'd recommend a reservation since it was busy.
