Great place for a lunch under the trees of an outdoor garden, rather busy but the service was attentive and prompt. Obviously I was going fairly light with a nice salad which was delicious. The wasps were annoying but not their fault. PS: Apparently, a water spray helps best to keep them away. read more

Food was as good as the view! Service was awesome, and the outdoor dining is superb. Abir took good care of us!

My friends and I love brunching on Sundays and we noticed that Terrasse had a brunch option so we made a reservation to try it out. This restaurant is part of the Bindella group who owns some of my favorite places in Zurich so I was excited to go. The interior and atmosphere are quite posh but unfortunately the service is not at the same standard. The waitress was borderline rude, my friends and I had to endure several inappropriate remarks from her - unsure whether it was because we dressed casual but it's brunch... what do you expect! Luckily the food was quite good, I had the Hangover brunch bagel which came with a mini bloody mary. The bagel had enough filling, a decent amount of cream cheese and toppings (which is not a given in Zurich), the drink was tiny but it was a nice add-on to the bagel and I was happy that they didn't skimp on the vodka. Overall not too bad but I wasn't impressed by the service but considering there is many other places for brunch or Italian lunch/dinner, I'm unsure if it would be on top of my list to go again. read more

Terrasse - "Hangover" brunch - Lounges Near Me - Zürich, ZH

The rating for Terrasse suffers from ratings from years ago. Please look at the dates of the reviews before you make any judgments. We came here on the recommendation of some cruise companions who had been here the night before and said it was great. They were right. We sat outside in a garden-like setting with wonderful sculptures. The food was amazing. My wife started with the burrata-tomato salad with a nice pesto dressing. I had frito misto, which was crunchy and tasty. My wife had Dover sole for the main and I had veal ravioli. We were both completely happy with our choices. The service was not fast, but not inappropriate. We felt well attended to and most importantly (if you read the other reviews ), that the waitstaff was caring and friendly. If you only have one night in Zurich, trust the recent reviews and not those from years ago! read more

First of all, Switzerland is just absolutely amazing. The viewing at the restaurant is breathtaking. People are so nice and the air is so clean. Now, about the restaurant, very nice! High-quality food and quick service. read more

We were taken here by some Swiss friends. There was 7 of us including one teenager. We all thought the food was very good. I had the Filet Mignon with a sweet potato side that was really flavorful. The wine sauce was quite good. This is the best steak I had between several meals here in Switzerland and Italy. The server was a little slow coming around throughout the meal and then rushed when she was at our table. It's the reason I gave them 4 stars. Everyone else loved their meals. But the best part was the Tiramisu!!! Excellent presentation served within a white chocolate designed box. It was absolutely incredible....I will recommend and come back the next time I'm in town. read more

Terrasse - Amazing Tiramisu!!! - Lounges Near Me - Zürich, ZH

Nice place to come for a drink or dinner. Can get crowded though. Pretty fancy with lots of statues of naked women torsos. Not quite sure what the theme of that is though. People look kind of posh here. Stay away from the white wine; it's not that good. read more

Terrasse - Yesim (Grapefruitsaft, Zitronensaft, Mandarinensirup, Buttermilch) CHF 12 - Lounges Near Me - Zürich, ZH

Absolutely awful. Just today while walking around Zurich, my friend and I were reflecting on the highlights and lowlights of the trip. We agreed the worst thing about the entire trip was the meal at Terrasse. We ended up here when all the other restaurants in town were closed. I guess that's the only good thing about Terrasse - the kitchen is open later (at least until 11pm). The Saffron Risotto with Scallops and Prawns was terrible. Not a taste of saffron in the meal, and it was undercooked and hard. Worst way to spend 40 CHF - zero stars. The two of us didn't finish it. The Veal Meatloaf was good, but tasted like something out of a TV dinner. Cocktails were incredibly expensive, but that seems to be the case in many restaurants. The biggest problem with Terrasse is that they are trying to look and charge like a nice, fancy restaurant, but it's really just a crappy restaurant with a good location. read more

Decent food, but service was awful. We had two waiters who each had a bad attitude (and we were very nice to them). No water refills, we were not asked if we wanted to order more wine after finishing our first glass, and after finishing our meal we were left with the dirty plates at our table for almost 30 minutes. Took 3 hours to finish our simple meal. All of this for a hefty price tag. However, we did notice other groups of guests did receive better and more speedy service than us, so it's possible they just don't like Americans. read more

Awful service. Two out of the three of our party ordered starters, with the intent of everyone in the party eventually ordering an entree. We were then chastised by the hostess who came up to our table and said that "we should've just told her we were only ordering for two people" in an extremely rude tone. Said hostess then went to the hostess stand to talk badly about us to another employee, while continuously looking back at us in a rude and unprofessional way. Safe to say we left after the starters. Similar to a review below, it seems like they may just have something against American customers, as everyone else was treated kindly and fairly. Bring your business and money somewhere else. read more

I was here for mid afternoon coffee and cake and it was delightful. It looks very posh inside and outside but you find similarly priced espresso drinks and cake. I thought this could be a nice place for girls to get together for an afternoon tea or glass of wine. Stop by for a cup of tea or latte in the afternoon and enjoy spacious upscale restaurant before it gets crowded with posh people :) read more

Nice place during the week, until the weekend comes about, then it's full of teenagers. Else the food is consistent quality, stff well professional, always been satisfied. I recommend the Sunday evenings as usually a pianist is playing, enjoying a glass of wine alone or in good company is always a nice experience there. read more

I dined with my husband and some co-workers on a Monday evening. I think the best thing Terrasse has going for it is the terrace. It's a lovely environment to enjoy a cool summer evening. My husband and I weren't overly impressed with the food - it was fine, but nothing spectacular. I ordered the rocket salad with parmesan, which I enjoyed the generous slices of cheese. I had the ricotta-filled triangoli pasta in a lemon-butter sauce. It was delicious, but again, simple and straight-forward. My husband had the veal, and he said it was good. The service was very slow, but we were treated kindly by the staff when they did attend to us. This is a nice establishment in the heart of Bellevue, and if you are looking for a fine dining experience, Terrasse may be the place for you. read more

Went here with some friends and family on a Friday night. I will have to see the interior is very nice and very clean. Kinda busy which was of course expected but the wait staff there was very attentive and always made sure we were being taken care of properly. Everything was great with the food! And to top it off the wine & cheese was great! I finished my meal off with the Tiramisu and I must say it was the best Tiramisu I've ever had. I never had it where the Tiramisu was enclosed with white chocolate and it definitely worked! I will recommend this place to anyone. read more

Wandering around Zurich's old city tonight, my family and I ended up going to Terrasse when the menu looked relatively local and there was plenty of space for us to get seated. While we didn't have to wait for a seat around 8 PM, the service was less than stellar (at least compared to a comparable restaurant in the US); the food took quite a bit of time to get served, and in particular dessert took quite a bit longer. I shouldn't necessarily be surprised, but the inattentiveness came as a bit of shock, especially at a place that seems to put on an air of being an upscale restaurant by the river. As for the food, I'd definitely say that the better food is the one that is more on the beaten path. Both buffalo mozzarella plates we had (one with prosciutto, the other with tomato and basil) were both delicious, with really high-quality mozzarella (compared to what's available in the US at most places). I went with the foie gras terrine, which was better than most - not as creamily fatty as some places I've been, but better than your average terrine. The one thing missing from the plate, IMO, was some kind of jelly - that would have paired very well. Vegetables and individual berries were included, but it's much more cumbersome to eat, and the fruit itself doesn't have as much of the sugars as jam does. For the main course, I went with beef tartare, and IMO, was a total miss. Tartare is meant to really emphasize the taste of the raw meat or fish, but this was raw beef mixed up with what tasted like spiced tomato sauce. I ate about half before calling it quits - it wasn't something I could stomach a large-ish portion (for tartare) of. Dessert was better, though, with the panna cotta coming out quite bouncy and with a dollop of whipped cream and a berry sauce enhanced with actual berries. I think the number of berries was a bit overdone - I almost felt like I was eating fruit that had panna cotta mixed in - but the flavors were still very good. The price is pretty exorbitant, but part of it is dining in what feels like domed structure with an ancient architectural feel overlooking the river with a view of the main area of Zurich - it's a very nice place to dine. The food is good, particularly the more strictly Italian dishes, so I'd recommend those if I come to Zurich again. read more

Wonderful location for dinner with a great selection of wines. Typically the service is great but we have had a few occasions where the service is less desirable. We've gone for lunch, dinner, and drinks after dinner. It's located in a great part of town as well. When in Zurich, this is a must to dine or have drinks after dinner. read more

Very nice place to eat. The Ambiente is just great, in the Summer you can open the huge Windows and have an Open Air Feeling. The Food is just great, nothing to complain about. The Garcons are extremly kind, fast and helpful. It is a little higher priced than a normal restaurant but it is definetly worth it; you get a nice view, a relaxed ambiente and high class food. If you don't want to spend too much money, then get yourself the Club Sandwich with Pommes Allumettes and green tea. Just lovely. read more

Great location, great looking place, reasonable prices and OK customer service! One of the better places in Zurich to have a drink or two. read more

Based on the other reviews, I was wondering if this was a different place but the name and location are the same. One of the top 5 Italian meals I've had globally. Great atmosphere, menu, and service. But most important the food was innovative and well prepared, and tasted fantastic. read more
