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

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!

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

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.

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.

Overall, it was fairly good and definitely a fun first experience, but I do think there are probably some more hidden local spots in town that I'd try next time. My fondue was around $50 just for myself, which felt pretty expensive for essentially cheese, but of course, it is Switzerland and this is definitely a touristy spot. Almost everyone around us seemed to be visiting as well. I did really like how many different fondue options they had. There were tons of variations to choose from, including some with meat, although those were even more expensive. The house wine was also really good and paired nicely with everything. I'm glad I tried it once and had the experience, but I'm not sure I'd come back. Next time I'd probably seek out a smaller, more local fondue spot.

We got to try traditional raclette cooked at your table on the raclette skillet. Plus, we tried a chicken dish that you cooked on a hot stone at your table. We didn't realize when we ordered that we would be cooking the chicken ourselves but not only was it fun, it was also the best chicken ever. Very moist and flavorful. The raclette comes with tiny white potatoes and gerkins. The raclette was plenty even though we did not order the all you can eat. I can't imagine who can eat that much cheese and I'm the queen of cheese! They had fantastic wines by the glass that were reasonably priced and the atmosphere was perfect. We were so happy to have our last dinner in Zurich be such a success. Plus, this restaurant did not smell like stinky cheese as some other fondue restaurants have a tendency to.

With it's friendly service, good food and amazing ambiance, it was my favorite restaurant of our trip. We decided to order the Raclette and the Truffle Butter Fondue (39 CHF). The raclette was served with boiled potatoes and it was really fun being able to watch your own raclette melting at your table on the melter. While I enjoyed the raclette, I enjoyed the Truffle Butter Fondue even more. It was served with pieces of baguette bread and the fondue was so creamy and flavorful. It definitely had a strong truffle flavor which I really enjoyed. Just as enjoyable as the food was the ambiance. Chasalp is located on a hill overlooking Zurich so you have a nice view of the city as you walk from the parking lot to the restaurant. Both indoor and outdoor seating is available but with how beautiful the scenery was, we definitely had to sit outside. Cows roam around the lush green grass as you enjoy your meal and everything feels so peaceful and serene. Our servers were very friendly and helpful and checked on us often to make sure everything was okay. While we didn't have any kids with us, the outdoor space also looked to be kid-friendly with a nearby swing set for children to use along with crayons and drawing sheets at the table to keeps kids occupied. I had such a wonderful and relaxing experience and definitely recommend it if you're in Zurich and looking for a delicious fondue option.

Located off the happening Langstrasse, the bite is at a prime location as a spot to hit before a night on the town. Reservations can be slightly difficult to come by, especially on weekends, as the place fills up fast. I believe in summer they also offer al fresco dining which probably increases the space available. The guacamole is excellent, and the pesto which is served on top of it is a genius idea! The animal fries (fries with thousand island dressing and melted cheese) are excellent, if rather rich and heavy. Coming to the burgers themselves, the bite offers a fixed (rather limited) menu, with one limited, specialty burger. Meat is tasty, juicy, grilled to order, the bacon is thick cut and delicious. My personal recommendation is the Manchego burger, served with manchego cheese (duh!) and a delicious romesco sauce, this burger is to die for!

Unless you don't mind eating outside in the dark with all the smokers. Second....expect to wait a long time. This isn't a fast food restaurant so grab a beer and wait 45/60 min to get your food. Third... Switzerland is very expensive so this restaurant is no different. 2 burgers, 2 alcoholic drinks, and French fries were 98CHF which is pretty much 100 bucks. They have 3 sauces for you to try. Ketchup- Tasted like marinara sauce. BBQ- Tasted like smokey ketchup. 1000 island. Tasted normal. Burgers were great. They were juicy and delicious. Animal Style French Fries were a good try. Def not like the original but so far from home it was a nice find. This restaurant isn't for Americans. Way too expensive for what we eat all the time but I compare this place to the Melting Pot in the US. That place is so overpriced but it's amazing to get your cheese fondue fix. I can't imagine Swiss people coming to the US and eating at our expensive version of cheese fondue. Service was ok. It was super busy so can't really complain but I could tell our waiter was super annoyed with our audacity of showing up , with no reservation, and willingness to wait. And for some dumb reason you can't order "The Threesome" (or Hattrick) with a group of 5 people. 4 apparently is ok but we had 5. Cannot imagine why if 3 people order the same thing it's an inconvenience for the restaurant but DON'T DO IT or again your waiter will show his annoyance.
