Many classic Swiss dishes and, so far, the best Wienerschnitzel I've had in Switzerland!…read more The restaurant is a little tricky to find; upon entering the building, one must ascend a nondescript stairwell and decode a sign, partially hidden behind a plant; the sign points right to the balcony, and points left to an unwelcoming closed door which, for all I could tell, might be a doctor's office or the janitor's closet. Aside from the rough start, the unwelcoming door surprises by opening into a beautiful dining room bustling with activity. There is a stunning antique oven (that is, a fireplace, to keep warm) in the left corner of the room decorated with ceramic tiling to retain the heat, traditional built-in seating, and ornately-carved soapstone pillars. The view out the second-story windows is of Marktgasse, one of the main streets cutting through the middle of town. Most of the patrons in the restaurant were speaking in Swiss German, though I suspect in the middle of summer it might be a bit more diverse with tourists (our visit was in the dead of winter). Spoken English and High German were also observed. We were seated by a waiter who spoke Swiss German and surely also English if pressed. He pleasantly informed us that the restaurant closes in about an hour, implying we shan't stay past that time. That was fine, as we arrived at an odd time (about 1:30 PM) and they have to run a business. We ordered the classic, a breaded veal Wienerschnitzel with fries ("Kalbschnitzel paniertet mit Pommes Frites"). The breading was perfectly crisp and not at all soggy or moist, and with just the right amount of savory; one could taste the butter used for frying without the dish tasting or appearing oily; and, the veal was soft enough to cut with the side of my fork. This is, so far, the best Kalbsschnitzel I've had in Switzerland. The French fries were ample and tasty, once decorated with a few ketchup packets. The service was very good, the prices were what you'd expect for authentic Swiss food in the middle of a city. I am looking forward to visit again soon to try some of the other Swiss specialities.

Not sure how long this place has been around, but it's in a very clandestine location, so I hope it survives, at least by virtue of its authenticity. As an American, how can I speak of the authenticity of Mexican cuisine? Well, I'm from San Diego and lived 15 minutes from the border of Mexico. Mexican food is San Diegan food. And I've spent a lot of time on the other side of the frontier. Therefore, I can say that, as surmised, the food is authentic. The execution, however wasn't all there - see pics. Beef Tacos weren't grilled carne asada but shredded beef that wasn't particularly moist... and that's it. I didn't have to ask, "where's the beef?", but I did have to ask, "where's everything else?"! They brought a small dish with diced onion and cilantro and another with a very mild green salsa, which I certainly loaded into the tacos, but I was missing the salsa fresca (pico de gallo) and some guac. The taquitos on the other hand were quite good, with crema and crumbled dry white cheese - similar to Cotija. They also had a nice selection of aguas frescas - cold tea and sweet fruit drinks + horchata, the latter being muy rica! They also have all of the champion Mexican brews (negra modelo, modelo especial, bohemia...). Very reasonable prices. Very friendly service. Unfortunately, the location is a little removed.
