Moser's Backparadies - Zürich…read more As I walked one morning, exploring downtown Zürich, I wanted something local for breakfast. This place offers freshly baked sweet delights and sandwiches that are so good. OMG!!! I ordered flakey pretzel roll with salmon. It was simple, quick bite, but by far, one of my favorite salmon sandwiches I've had in such a long time. If you're a salmon lover, be sure to stop by for quick bite. Only bad thing I would say about this place is when you first come in through glass doors, to the right... deliciousness danger zone. They offer so many amazing, freshly baked pastries that is really tempting to order one of each. You do need to have will power to control yourself lol. You will find, "Erdbeertörtli," "Vanille Cornet," "Zitronentörtli," "Punschkugel," "Carac," and "Florentiner Gross." Prices are very reasonable too. Service great too. In all seriousness, I can't wait to return here. It's centrally located in downtown area, close to other great options for dining and shopping.

One of two of Zurich's specialist chocolate boutiques. This boutique has a very large selection,…read moreranging from brands like Zotter, Valrhona and Beschle as well as products from Claudio Corallo and Enrico Rovira. I love the Valrhona tasting set, a wonderful present. Zotter's drinking chocolate is wonderful (white chocolate and vanilla being my favourite). If you can't wait until you get home, then Mrs. Gössler will serve you what is perhaps Zurich's best hot chocolate (a giant portion with a shortbread biscuit for 8.10 Swiss francs). The service is excellent, the owner being especially well informed. The interior design (built from boat parts, would you believe!?) is as unusual as it is original.

I was meeting 2 very good Swiss German friends from Zurich -- one a manager of major flagship retail store on Bahnhofstrasse for 20 years the other a Zurich politician and lawyer. We arrived, it was empty outside -- we gathered 3 tables as there was no one outside to assist. A woman came out (perhaps under the influence) and was extremely rude and demanded that we need to go into the empty bar (inside) ask her permission as she is the boss (she is not) and then assemble the tables. I again -- looked around at the empty outside area and said again in English and in German that we are 8 people (not knowing if she spoke German) and where would she like us to sit? She looked around at the empty tables again -- said she is the boss and demanded she must be informed. I again said, ok we'd please like a table for 7 people where would you like us to sit here outside -- there were several empty tables. She rolled her eyes, huffed and walked inside. We sat for about 15 min... unattended. I walked into the (empty) bar inside and said in German to her (she was behind the bar with younger man that worked there) we'd like to order 3 beers, a water and a coke. She laughed at me. I said what is so funny? She said, "your comical accent" in German. I then looked at the other bar back and said, "May I please order 3 beers a coke and a mineral water?" He was very nice and lovely. My 2 other fiends met me and ordered champagne -- we had a lovely time. I went inside to pay the bill and left the man a 10 CHF tip on 90 CHF (service is included in Switzerland - but I like to give extra to be nice) and asked him if we should place the tables back where they were. He said absolutely not -- that he would do it. I will never go back. Funny, I know the owner of this cafe. And, the behaviour was super strange from this very frustrated, woman employee. I would have left in the beginning had I not agreed with my Swiss friends to meet there.

I came here to enjoy a good book and cappuccino by myself. I can't comment on the food as I didn't get anything to eat from the menu. The cappuccino was rich and velvety with a decent layer of foam. Just how I like it! This is a great place to enjoy the weather and just people-watch. The staff members aren't overbearing at all. My waitress was a friendly lady, who was helpful and also gave me space.
