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.

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.

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!

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

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
Sabrina H.

So chaotic. We had reservations, and the guy was barking at me like I was a dog " down, down, down" even though his colleague told us to go up and that we would be seated. Prices are ridiculous and fondue only comes with bread. The cheese tasted fine and most of the wait staff were really nice. We also got the fondue with cubed meat and hot oil. It splashed over me and was really stressful and I did not enjoy the experience.

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.

Leo L.

Best Fondu in town according to Google review. Very good vibe and traditional interior inside. The service was friendly and professional. The fondu was delicious and satisfying though a bit strong. The price was amazingly below my expectation. Very affordable. This is a must visit!

Enjoying fondue with bolete mushroom!
Kevin F.

Pro tip: if it is open, and there is no line, jump into the restaurant. It was raining and very cold the night we went. We finally found this place and I was intrigued by the use of mushrooms in the menu! I had to come here! We were there at 5:30, there was no line, so we went walking around a little bit more to see the church, have my first gluwein, and enjoy the town! When we decided to go have dinner at Swiss Chuchi at 6:15, the line was 15-20 parties deep, in the rain, in the cold! There was outside seating, and fortunately they supply blankets, but not heat! Several tables were vacant, but inside was packed! After waiting in the cold rain for a while, the line was building up behind us, so we gave up and walked around, with no authentic restaurants in sight. (The hotel had recommended Swiss Chuchi). So we returned, and the line was longer! We waited and the staff told us it would be 40-45 minutes before seating inside! We finally decided to accept their offer to sit outside! The food came punctually. The fondue was excellent as was the wine. But the Onion Soup was the star! The shell on top was delicious and the soup was clear and delicious. Best I've ever had, and reasonably priced! Meanwhile, the lady in front of us finally got inside....40 minutes later!!!!!

Whiskey infused fondue
John T.

What went well? Easy answer, everything. Service was prompt and attentive. Ambiance was that of a popular eatery and the food was absolutely tasty. I will be back here. Had the whiskey-infused fondue as the main order and sides of chicken, that was moist and tender, cooked perfectly. Also had a side of steamed potatoes that topped off the meal just so. Had to have a glass of the Christmas beer to finish off the night. If in Zurich you HAVE to make this one of your stops if near Old Town. Hack would be to make reservations or stop by for an early dinner no later than 4pm if you don't have reservations. Enjoy!

Lori W.

Location: convenient near shopping area. I highly recommend making time to stop in to try the fondue. So many varieties to choose from so read carefully Takes credit cards Ambiance: Zurich casual Service: Jack and Dennis provided friendly and attentive service Food: amazingly delicious Fondue. Exceeded our expectations.

Adler's Special Fondue
Roger P.

One of Switzerland's most popular dish is the cheese fondue. So naturally, we searched for the most popular cheese fondue restaurant in Zurich and found Swiss Chuchi. You must make a reservation or at least walk-in during non-peak hours. There are two lines in front of the restaurant, one for the waitlist and another for reservations. If you can and it's not too hot or raining outside, try to get an outdoor table. It's very stuffy inside and you'll come out smelling like the cheese fondue. Also, the menu says to order one main per person but our waitress let us order less, saying that it was up to us if we didn't want to order enough to be full. But honestly, if you're just eating cheese, I can't imagine someone getting full before becoming tired of it all. We ordered two fondues, the Adler's special cheese and the truffle. It comes with bread but we ordered additional potatoes and steamed vegetables to dip. If you don't want the alcohol in the fondue, I believe you can ask them to make it without it. Also, only the Adler fondue contains lactose so if you're lactose intolerant, go for anything but the Adler. Both fondues were pretty good and even better with the bread because the cheese sticks to it better. At the end, when the cheese was all crusted on the bottom, the worker came and helped us scrape it off to eat. We also tried an order of the Raclette with farmer's ham. Another popular Swiss cuisine and it comes with a little cooking station. You melt slices of cheese on a little pan and when it's ready, there's a scraper to scrape it off. The order came with tomatoes, mushroom, baby corn, pickles, onions, and pears. I'm not sure ham was the way to go and I probably would have enjoyed it more with a different meat. Fun experience though! Because we thought we had to order a main per person, we also got the Grilled Beef Entrecote with Herb Butter. Comes with a side of fries. The steak was just alright because I didn't think it was tender enough. The herb butter was a nice touch though. Overall, great experience but if I wanted to eat fondue again in Zurich, I'm going to find a new place to try. It wasn't so great that I would always come back here but at least I have something to compare to.

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.

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.

The tables are small and it may not be easy to have all your food on one of them. We had eggs (over easy) and an omelet with Latte and hot chocolate. The food was great and came out at a good pace. It was a great experience.

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!
