We were surprised to see how beautiful the interior of this restaurant was when we arrived…read more However, it was quite a warm day in Zurich and the service had been moved upstairs to the roof. We arrived at our appointed time, but were chagrined to hear that we were not on the reservation list. Disappointment started to set in as we could see that there were only a few seats left. I pulled out my phone and showed them the confirmation I had received - though they correctly pointed out that our reservation was for the next night! Despite the paucity of space, they seated us and we were delighted. My wife ordered the wiedikerli (local sausages) and I had the vitello tonnato ( thinly sliced veal topped with a creamy tuna sauce). They were outstanding and the Aperol spritzes took the edge off the heat. Service was impeccable and the locals were most friendly and engaging - the table configuration on the roof is one where closely aligned tables keep you close to your neighbors. We asked them to keep our reservation for the next night and couldn't wait to go back. We were pleased to get our server back the next evening (Sie Chen) when we returned. Having already gotten a bit acquainted with us the previous night, our server recommended some dishes to us in lieu of the ones we were considering when we started to order. We embraced all of her counsel and couldn't have been more pleased. I started with "Nüsslisalat mit Ei und Speck" - a salad made with lambs lettuce and eggs and bacon. Apparently a local favorite and quite delicious. For entrees, I had the Züri-Gschnätzlets (thinly sliced veal with a mushroom sauce) and my wife had the Roastbeef Teller. Both were divine. The next fabulous recommendation was for my desert - she recommended affogato (hot espresso poured over vanilla ice cream) - something I had never had before - also outstanding. We enjoyed the house riesling and found it complemented the meal well. Our meals ran around 140 Swiss francs, which we found to be a bargain given the quality of food, drinks and service. Highly recommended. It was a pleasurable walk from our hotel near the opera.

Service It was pretty early when we stepped in, so they informed us how much time we had to eat before reservations set in, which was great and efficient, and also no problem at all. The staff was very friendly and checked up often on our meals. Food We ordered the pumpkin soup and smoked duck breast with deer liver salad to start. The whole meal was bursting with flavor complexities that i couldn't really place or imagine. The pumpkin soup was creamy, savory, spiced perfectly and not overly salty. The smoked duck was also not overly salty, and you could taste the smokiness of the duck, while the skin of the breast wasn't chewy. The deer liver was seared, leaving the insides relatively raw. I had never had this, so i had to try it. If you like liver, you'll love this meal. The salad and portwine cranberries really balanced out the meat, mellowing out the overall meal. I had the boar, which was seared and very slightly overcooked for my personal taste, but it didn't stop me from clearing out the whole plate. I would have licked it, if it were considered acceptable. Mine came with brussel sprouts puree, and spätzli. The textures and flavors were so balanced and delicious, i wish there was a restaurant similar to this back home. My friend ordered the deer filet medallions with red cabbage and i felt that the meat was perfectly cooked - not dry and tough (not saying the boar was dry or tough at all, it was just slightly cooked more than my usual preferences). The veggies on both meals were wonderful. The brussel sprouts melted in your mouth and didn't taste hard or crunchy. The red cabbage was soft, with lots of crunch and texture in the middle. I'm honestly not sure what the red fruit was on the side, but it might have been the gin plums from the menu from other meals, but man were they boozy and fantastic. I would have eaten all of both meals if i wasn't on vacation and i knew i was going straight home to stew in my food coma. Lastly, i ordered two cheeses, which the server (maybe owner? I wish i had clarified) asked if i had space in my body for it and I'll be damned if i didn't try all the cheeses available. He asked if i liked cow, sheep, or goat, in which i said surprise me and he gave me a cow and sheep one. The cow I've reminded me of triple cream cheeses -soft in the middle and a little creamier on the outside. The flavor and textures were both apparent, but not overwhelming. I wish i had asked for the names of the cheeses i tried, but i wouldn't have been able to "hear them" without writing them down. The other was a sheep cheese, which was very pungent and very creamy and i loved. This was all paired with grapes, pear, and dried figs - a perfect blend of all flavors. Overall, I'm so glad I stumbled upon this restaurant and if you want to try flavorful foods and a wonderful atmosphere with excellent service, try this restaurant. It's really delightful.

We got the zurich style veal which was excellent and the orange fennel salad was a nice balance to the main dish.

Definitely recommend if you'd like elevated Swiss food.

Sounds like an American Fraternity Why only four stars, ridiculously expensive tour at 250 a person but the wine was all you can drink and pretty selective Guild only ... as to food that was four stars at best and small portions. Service waiter was aloof. Worth a look as dine on your own, skip the Viking and come DIY for a better a cheaper experience and of course select what you what and for far better value, maybe not get to try the guild wine ?

Friendly service and fresh comfort food…read more I wandered into Hardhof for one of my first meals in Zurich. The restaurant is casual and quaint, but polished. The service was friendly, welcoming, and professional. I had one of the lunch options which was the pork cordon bleu with fries. I must say, those fries were some of the best I've ever had. I'm not sure in what kind of fat or oil they fried them in, but the were absolutely delicious. Crispy outside, fluffy inside, served piping hot fresh, well seasoned. I've never been a super huge fan of cordon bleu (I generally prefer a more simple cutlet as I find the filling more distracting than additive), but this was a well executed and satisfying version. Meat was juicy, exterior was crispy, it was freshly made and hot. No complaints. Food was not cheap, with lunch coming in at 35 CHF, but portions were huge so it was not bad value per se. Recommended for a casual, comforting, and filling meal.
