We were recommended to try this restaurant for their Fondue and it did not disappoint. A reservation is highly suggested, but they will accept advanced reservations, not reservations for that day. There was a substantial line the entire time we were there. Now for the food, nothing to say but outstanding. We started out with the traditional Fondue which came with bread. I went with the Tofu Curry with Rice, while my wife had Veal in mushroom sauce and Spatzli. Every dish was exceptional and we will return for another visit.

Extra dippers

This is the best fondue restaurant. They do require you to buy 2 meals. We had 2 fondue pots. Gruyère and a truffle cheese. Both were delicious. We added potatoes (bag of 8-9) and little pickles, onion, corn to dip. They also give you a tray of bread. The cheese is heated by sterno. It is hot and creamy. We dipped till we couldn't. With a couple beers our bill was $112 francs. The service is good. If you don't have a reservation you can wait for a table 15-30 minutes. They have inside and outside seating. You are in a large courtyard.

Yelp Review 2026 #76: "Did you know that hard cheese fondues DO NOT contain LACTOSE? Only our Adler fondue contains lactose due to the soft cheese." - Swiss Chuchi Menu Located in the quieter touristy part of Zürich called Niederdorf is a Swiss restaurant, Swiss Chuchi - on the first floor of Hotel Adler Zürich. There's a lot of Swiss/ fondue restaurants to choose from. Honestly, I wasn't sure I wanted to eat here so I didn't make a reservation. When I made up my mind, it was too late to make one so, we went anyway and stood in line. The wait wasn't too bad. After 12 minutes of waiting, we got seated outside. They have seasonal items, cheese fondue, chicken or beef fondue, soup, salad, raclette, vegetarian dishes, one fish dish, veal, chicken, beef, and beef liver. I don't recall seeing dessert on the menu. Zwiebelsuppe mit Blätterteighaube: Swiss onion soup with a savory cheesy puff pastry top. Allow at least 10 minutes to enjoy this after ordering. The best onion soup I've ever had. So good - like a warm hug on a cold evening. 5/5 Hausgemachte Spargelsuppe: Home-made asparagus soup. A seasonal item that was available in the spring. This was a good soup too but pales in comparison to the onion soup. Since this is only available in the spring and not whole year round, you know they're using fresh ingredients. 4/5 Fondue mit schwarzem Trüffel: Cheese fondue with black truffle, white wine, cherry liquor and garlic. Can it get any better than this? I think not. They give you a basket of pieces of bread to dip into hot bubbly cheese. Be sure to scrape the bottom and stir the cheese so it doesn't burn. 4.5/5 Fondue Chinoise, fein geschnittenes Rindfleisch, 200g zum selbst garen in heisser Rindsbrühe: Fondue Chinoise, 200g thinly sliced beef for you to cook in a beef broth. Comes with six sauces: barbecue, garlic, chimichurri, tartar sauce, sweet & sour and curry) as well as Silverskin onions, baby corn, pickled gherkin. With one choice of side dish: Chips, Rice or French fries. I chose fries which I dipped into the truffle fondue. My favorite dipping sauce was the garlic sauce. The beef took a long time to cook. But it was tender though. 4/5 Service was good. They're very busy and the servers are doing the best they could without sacrificing time spent to make diners feel welcome.

Boiled potatoes
Lauren D.

While in Zurich we dined at this cute restaurant . We wanted to have authentic fondue. We each ordered a pot. One had ham and mushrooms the other had 4 cheeses. It came with a basket of cut up bread and we got a bag of boiled mini potatoes . Delicious to the end of the pot which actually was the best part, gooey crunchy cheese at the bottom of the pot. It went perfectly with a glass of beer. Service was good and our waiter spoke English . Ambiance was quite charming with several cuckoo clocks displayed .

When in switzerland you have to get fondue!!! This place was great. It was our first night of the trip so we all wanted to try some swiss fondue. While it doesnt smell the best, the taste makes up for it. The cheese and chocolate fondues were nice and warm and tasty. Service here was also fast and friendly! We also tried a cheesey pasta dish which was awesome! Great spot in zurich for fondue!

Nadia A.

We came to eat traditional cheese fondue and that's what we got. The satisfaction of their options of cheese fondue and what you can have is endless. We were served and attend to greatly. We sat outside in a touristy area and the inside as well was beautiful designed. The food itself was so good. I left fulfilled and portion size was everything we needed. I could have not asked for a better food experience.

Swiss Chuchi is one of the most recommended fondu restaurants in Zurich. We had fondu and raclette. This was one of the meals that I was looking forward to the most but it was a little disappointing. The service was friendly but not super helpful since there wasn't too much instruction on how to eat. Since you are eating with a burner, it does get quite hot inside and I think it would've been preferable to eat outside. Overall, I think it's a little overhyped and I wouldn't have gone out of the way to eat here.

Chicken and spinach with fries
David M.

Nice size restaurant with seating inside and out. The service was great from start to finish. The onion soup is a do not miss. Both the chicken and sausage were cooked just right. The brown gravy is outstanding. They are pretty busy so it might be a good idea for a reservation.

Liver & Rosti
Helen H.

I felt like I had to do fondue while in Switzerland. The restaurant was quite busy. I made a reservation beforehand and had to use a credit card to hold it. We were seated in the corner, which worked out well for us. I went with the Adler's special cheese fondue. It was quite overpriced at 36.5 CHF and it only comes with bread. I guess I should've ordered sides to go with it (potatoes, chicken, beef). Honestly, I felt like it was a waste of money since I ate less than half of it. I also ordered the liver dish as I wasn't going to get full off bread and cheese. It came with a side dish and I went with rosti. I enjoyed the liver, but thought the portion was small. The rosti was a bit greasy. Overall, I wasn't impressed.

Cheese fondue
Sehar M.

This place is touristy but still absolutely wonderful!! We had the traditional cheese fondue and had a side of veggies. We also had the chocolate fondue although I would have preferred different dippers for the chocolate fondue. The waiter was great and attentive. He also did the typical trick where they fold up the bottom of the fondue pot for the crunchy part. I would definitely come back here. I do suggest a reservation though. It seemed like typical time to come here was 7pm and it was full around the time. People were definitely waiting

Onion soup
Maria L.

We are so glad our hotel concierge recommended this fondue restaurant in Old Town Zurich. We had a lovely dining experience! There was no waiting in line - that's a bonus! Started off with Aperol Spritz of course, delicious onion soup, cheese fondue with ham, mushroom and white wine, added strips of beef, also shared braised beef shoulder with homemade spaetzli. OMg what a fantastic dinner - everything tasted yummy - my husband and I had a lovely time, service was friendly and location so nice for people-watching. Highly recommended!

Fondue, raclette and sausage
Elly P.

Classic swiss fondue. Stick with the fondue, the raclette was not as tasty and didn't have as much cheese.

Fondue with beef bits and steamed veggies
Audrey F.

This spot in old town had a super long line and the reviews looked promising so we got in line as well. Service is quick and friendly and they've got tables both indoors and outdoors. Food was fairly mid. We got the fondue with mushrooms and ham expecting to be able to eat the mushrooms and ham as well, but they were chopped so small that we could neither pick them out nor did they stick to the food we got to dip in the fondue. The beef bites to accompany the fondue were very dry and tough, while the vegetables appeared to be steamed or boiled with no other seasoning. Curry ragout was overall tasty but the chicken was dry as well and the fruit pairing didn't add much to the dish.

Cafe Elena - Zürich…read more Pink never tasted so Swiss. Pink looks good on you. When you walk in, to the left you will discover large wall of pink flowers. Beautiful large upholstered pink bench for accommodating guests to enjoy good Swiss cuisine. To the right, you will find beautiful bar area, filled with... you guessed it, more pink flowers. The atmosphere is relaxing with great staff helping you decide on Swiss menu items. In the middle of the cafe, you will find additional tables with chairs that's where I enjoyed my Swiss cuisine. I ordered, "CONSEQUENT SALMON," breadbasket, butter, jam, sliced cheese and fruits, salmon and rösti. My meal tasted great and it was pleasant to sit, relax and take time to really enjoy all the flavors. I would certainly recommend this place and look forward returning. After you finish your breakfast, step outside to enjoy beautiful, "Limmat River," running along side. Café Elena located walking distance to HB Train Station, largest train station in Switzerland.

Ambiance As everyone said, very pink. Noise levels were…read moreambient and not so loud that you couldn't speak, but with various languages, perhaps it wasn't as apparent. The seating is comfortable and plush (maybe microfiber?). Music is very 90s r&b. I'm not sure if it's the general vibe or just the particular day we went, but it was enjoyable for me. Service Attentive, but not overbearing. Someone offered us several available tables as we stepped in to choose from. The wait staff showed us the wifi code and their menu is offered as a qr code to view on your phone. We were given enough space and time to go over the menu and she answered any questions we had. Food I got the pink velvet macchiato, which was very rich in coffee flavor, even with the tall glass of milk. The mixed colors were still pretty. I got the Turkish breakfast, which is pretty large, so definitely arrive hungry. There was a combination of sweet and savory in this meal - a small skillet of tomatoes and egg, two different kinds of sausage (one larger, sliced and pan fried to be crispy, while the other is pink, soft, delicate and came in 3 small ones), a hard boiled egg, olives, tomatoes, cucumbers, sheep's cheese similar to feta, a side of bread, butter, and jam, tea, baklava, and a little rose gummy dessert. The combination of textures and flavors were wonderful, but the bread was a little on the crunchy side, when i would have preferred soft. The baklawa was filled with pistachios, had a lovely pastry crust, but wasn't overly sweet. The pink, gummy sweet had a hint of rose, so it wasn't overpowering and it didn't stick to your teeth afterwards, so it was a perfect ending to a meal. I didn't get to try the farmer's breakfast other than the beans, but my friend was satisfied with the meal.

Single best vegetarian restaurant I've been to in my life. I went to two different locations…read morebecause I couldn't believe it was so good. A buffet with fifty or so super fresh offerings at a great price. They say they're the oldest vegetarian restaurant in the world. Maybe. I'd check China and India.

Yelp Review 2026 #64:…read more I'm not vegetarian and definitely not vegan. But I will dabble with the veg from time to time. Hiltl is popular for being the world's oldest vegetarian restaurant in the world. Here's information I will share that I wish was available before planning to come here. You must make a reservation for lunch/ dinner because that's when they're busy. Breakfast is for walk-ins and they don't do reservations. Hop on their website and be sure you're on the right location because they have several within a 2-mile radius...some on the same street. I went here to try their breakfast buffet. I wasn't sure how busy they got for breakfast so, I got here at 6:30am because I got the wrong information online! They open at 7am. Different locations have different hours. Check their website for actual hours and don't trust review site information because it's wrong! They're not busy for breakfast at all. There's 2 ways to do their buffet. You can pay a fixed price and fill your plate multiple times or go and fill your plate once and pay based on the weight of your food - you get free bread. I did the pay-by-weight option. I have a whole day of eating planned so, I wasn't about to fill up for breakfast. When they opened at 7am, they were still putting the food out one by one. By 7:20, all the food was out which was fine. I was in no rush. The spread includes fresh fruits, cheeses, butter, margarine, cheesecake, chocolate mousse, mango mousse, mango chia pudding, banana chocolate brownie crumble, a pear dessert (with cream, vanilla and orange), rosti, scrambled eggs, potato salad, tomato and mozzarella salad, beets, chickpeas, olives, couscous, corn salad, olives, asparagus, green peas, feta cheese, hardboiled eggs, curry salad, dolmades, broccoli and edamame, artichoke salad, bulgur salad, tabbouleh, orecchiette tofu salad, Thai salad, hummus, guacamole, muhammara, etc. They have 6 types of bread. Slice a piece and toast it yourself. Vegan and vegetarian food tend to taste strongly of coconut/ coconut milk and I don't like that. My favorites from the buffet include chocolate mousse, mango mousse, banana chocolate brownie crumble, dolmades, asparagus, orecchiette tofu salad, and Thai salad. I got a mango lassi to drink which I didn't like. It had curry powder. Service was pleasant. The restaurant was clean.

We came here recommended by a local. It's such a cute, lovely, historical cafe in old town. On a…read moreSunday afternoon it was filled! After a week of trying hot chocolate here and there in Switzerland, this was our favorite hot chocolate in Switzerland so far!! They made it less sweet and more dark thankfully. Usually for hot chocolate, they'll give you a Caotina packet, but not here! They use their own and it taste more handmade. If you opt for whip cream, it's huge. I love how not sweet it is. Like we needed another cup to put the whip cream in it to taste the hot chocolate haha. For food, we had Veggie Flammekueche. It's so fresh, smokey and delicious. Such a good one to share! My friend had the ham & cheese and they toast it so it tastes so fresh. Side salad was refreshing. Muesli was very fruity and had a strong berry taste. A lot of their cakes were fruity so I think that's their style!

Yelp Review 2026 #47:…read more Cafe & Conditorei 1842 is "Zürich's oldest cafe". This place is a conditorei (has a sit down area to enjoy pastries and sweet baked treats) and not a confiserie (take away truffles and candies). They claim to have the best hot chocolate and I would have to disagree. They do have good desserts to pair with their hot chocolate. The building its in has been around since 1824. The bakery opened in 1874 but the cafe didn't actually open until March 2019 so, the name is misleading. They have indoor seating and also patio seating in front or in the back. They have smoothies, milkshakes, matcha, cold brew options, sparkling wine options, ice cream, patisserie items, and brunch food. You have 6 options for their hot (or cold) non-alcoholic chocolate: classic, with marshmallows, with whipped cream, with chili flakes, with a shot of fresh ginger, with a shot of espresso; or 4 alcoholic hot (or cold) chocolate options: rum, amaretto, Bailey's or Grand Marnier. Passion Fruit Panna Cotta: Nice balance of bitter dark chocolate and tart Passionfruit. The panna cotta was creamy and soft. Dark chocolate holding everything together. I love Passionfruit and chocolate combo. 4.5/5 Chocolate Mousse: You can't go wrong with anything chocolate in Switzerland. This has white chocolate, milk chocolate and dark chocolate, and cocoa nibs at the bottom. Great creamy texture. Pillowy like marshmallow. 4/5 The Classic Hot Chocolate with Whipped Cream: Underwhelming. I've had better hot chocolate somewhere else in Zürich. It's a step up from Swiss Miss. 2.5/5 The Classic Cold Chocolate with Whipped Cream: The same as what was mentioned above but the cold version which is lukewarm. 2.5/5 Service was good though.

It was more than enough food. The Sabich looked beautiful and whatever magic they did to the aubergine was fantaaaaastic. They were crunchy and wonderful. The falafel were also beautifully done and came with a side of wonderful sauce that I can't remember the name of now. I was also really impressed with the hummus trio. All three were very different and large portions. I kept picking a new favourite, it was hard to choose. We got beet, mango, and I think the regular. Fantastic flavours, really great waitstaff, and a freaking amazing experience overall. I'll be back!
