I was roaming the streets of Zurich and found this little gem tucked away in a larger alleyway and…read morestopped to take a photo. I read their "Spring Specials" Board and saw the Karotten Suppe and decided to sit for a spell and enjoy a bowl of one of my favorite soups. As the name suggests, Zoup - they sorta specialize in soups I suppose, (as well as other things I'm sure) with seasonal offerings/variations. I initially wanted carrot and ginger but I opted for the carrot-mango-orange variant. What's cool is that they offered to add some fresh ginger in as well. Win! Win!! In addition to my soup, I also ordered a Panache which is just a beer with a lime soda topper that's pretty refreshing. The staff was very courteous and helpful as well as linguistically patient with me as we both tried to communicate with one another. The ambiance is traditional Cafe European with a nice airy seating area to people watch without feeling like people are on top of you. So, if you are in Zurich and a soup person then this is the place for you.

Wonderful restaurant that will unfortunately ruin American Wiener Schnitzel for you for the rest of…read moreyour life! The restaurant is located near most of activity in old town Zurich and the Lake. Its entrance in on a small but busy walkway so if you sit outside there is lots of people watching. Inside is a giant dinning area that reminds me more of a beer hall. Very busy, loud and fun! It's also a very historic building. Supposedly William Tell used this building as an armory and kept his famous bow here. Loved, loved the Wienerschitzel! Could have eaten it every night in Zurich! Our waiter was attentive and very funny. Enjoyable experience!

It was our last evening in Zurich and we were looking for some good Bavarian cuisine. This place…read morewas absolutely packed so we figured it must be worth a try and waited about 20 minutes for a table outdoors. I can't say anything for the interior but the outdoor seating made the experience better since you are eating, drinking and socializing with other groups around you in massive long tables. Food was delicious, I got their specialty sausage plate with boiled potatoes and sauerkraut and my wife got their house pasta with cheese, potatoes and fried onions. Their house draft beer was excellent as well, a perfect compliment to salty meat and the crisp evening air. If you have a chance this is certainly worth a visit.

Love, love, love the Raclette Factory…read more Really wanted to have another Raclette experience while in Switzerland. The first was in Lucerne and we loved it! Walked to the Raclette Factory from our hotel. Sat at a community table with a family from Argentina. They were so sweet. Their eleven year old was so animated and his parents were the sweetest. Fun to talk to them about travel, our mutual love of rollercoasters and science and the recent World Cup. The son loves Lamine Yamal. The dad is Team Messi. Our waiter, Flavio, made the evening our best choice. We really wanted to try a lot of different cheese flavors and combinations, so we had the Raclette All You Can Eat. Choose a couple of cheeses. Plain. Smoke. Garlic. Chili. White Wine. Red Wine. Blue cheese. Goat. Sheep. Truffle. Add toppings. It comes with pickles and pearl onions. Pickles and melted Raclette cheese. Unbelievably delicious. Add more toppings. Small potatoes, bread or mashed potatoes. So good! Started with the truffle and the red wine with the works, potatoes, mashed potatoes and cubes of bread. The truffle was my favorite of the cheeses and both the mashed potatoes and small potatoes were delicious. I think at the end we tried all of the cheeses but the original. We were stuffed!! Thank you to Flavio who really made our experience at the Raclette Factory a highlight of our visit to Zurich. Service was amazing and he gave us great recommendations. Definitely a night to remember.

Food was good and so was the service. Our waitress helped us through the menu, which was very…read morehelpful because we had no idea what Raclette actually was, or how to order it! Raclette is a dish of melted cheese over potatoes or bread. Which is very good, just extremely rich! I'm from Wisconsin, so I'm all about cheese, but this was a lot! The prices are very high for what you are actually eating, and we almost order the 'all you can eat" option, because it seemed like a good deal. So glad we didn't, because I would have had a tough time trying to eat another pile of melted cheese! We did order the "world best" garlic bread, which was good, but only average... not the world's best!

The soups were delicious! We came back to visit twice when they switched the soup for the following…read moreweek. Different soup options weekly. You can eat the soups there or take them to go.

Besides juice you'll find self service yoo moo frozen yoghurt, chocolate cake, muffins (also mini muffins!), meal of the day, salad and- wait for it- soup, of course! I only ordered a juice but I secretly bite off a bit from that yummy chocolate cake. (I didn't, but it was tempting) everything looks fresh and so now wow: "get your healthy stuff but also indulge your palate" kind of concept. I was amazed about the low prices. As if I stepped out of Zurich but this shop is in the money centre of Zurich, unbelievable. I wonder how much rent they pay but sell fresh juice for 5.- only. So come here and get good goodies at a low price.

The idea of a fast food restaurant with healthy foods is something I really appreciate. I was even…read moremore impressed by the nice and design and the kindness of the staff - even though the service is also fast-food-restaurant like, you need to order then collect your food and bring back the tray in the end. My favourites are the salads (especially Louis XIV and the Mediterranean Pasta Salad) and their coffee tastes very nice, too. Generally I think portion sizes are generous, and the fact that special diet needs (e.g. food intolerance, vegan cuisine) are also considered makes me like this place even more.

I'm only guilty of not ordering a larger portion of tasty soup. I had the standard Dal soup with a…read moresmattering of cilantro as garnish. A tasty roll was also included. The soup was flavorful, piping hot, and went down a treat with the bread roll. After perusing their website, it would seem that NG is a part of the 'locavore' movement, using, when possible, locally sourced ingredients. Also nice, the service is friendly and prompt. One of the most interesting things about NG would be that they have three restos in ZH and one in Brazil! Por que? I aim to find out on my next trip to Not Guilty. Note: the soup sizes don't read 'small' and 'large' on the menu board. I forget what the cutesy language is...something like 'good day' for a small soup and for a larger soup it's something equally silly. Don't be discouraged as I was for a fraction of a second when trying to absorb the menu. There are only two sizes: good and gooder. ;)

She should have been more conscious of her surroundings. But it only went up from there. I won't go into detail about every dish, but my favorites included truffle. Also, they have a basil croissant that was out of this world. Paired with their brown butter - omg, my mouth is watering just from thinking of it. Also, there plating was impeccable. Makes me really want to invest in a pair of food tweezers. The detail that goes into it is amazing! Comparatively, I thought this place was pretty well priced. It's 205 CHF/person for a 9 course menu (so either that, or you're spending $50 for 2 people at Mcdonalds). I choose Pavillon 100%.

Amidst all the fun we got dinner at Saigon. A meal that was un-pho-gettable. If I mispronounced it would be a pho-paux. Alright now that you've experienced the lows of those terrible puns we can appropriately contrast with the highs of this excellent meal. Everything we got was made exceptionally. The beef noodles were really good. The noodles are great. I slurped them down quite quickly. They were both savory and spicy. My friend who got the shrimp pho said it was, well un-pho-gettable. The vibes, the spirit, and the soul are all there. My other friend got the sated beef with fried rice. It was a bit salty but he loved that about Vietnamese cuisine! The service was also great. The waiters were very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this to anyone interested in Vietnemise food!
