    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.

    Food was good and so was the service. Our waitress helped us through the menu, which was very…read morehelpful because we had no idea what Raclette actually was, or how to order it! Raclette is a dish of melted cheese over potatoes or bread. Which is very good, just extremely rich! I'm from Wisconsin, so I'm all about cheese, but this was a lot! The prices are very high for what you are actually eating, and we almost order the 'all you can eat" option, because it seemed like a good deal. So glad we didn't, because I would have had a tough time trying to eat another pile of melted cheese! We did order the "world best" garlic bread, which was good, but only average... not the world's best!

    The lobster and oyster bar Zurich. And that's what they serve since 1935. Not impressed?…read more Switzerland is a land locked country. Some trivia perhaps? The restaurant was the first to serve oysters in Switzerland after WWII. Today, deliveries of live lobsters and oysters are made twice daily for each service. Dishes are prepared in the classic French style and incorporate modernist touches. Straight to it, some fresh shucked Belon oysters (8CHF ea). The real deal from France (not the imitation farmed in the States). Unlike any oyster I've tasted. Plump and briny with an unmistakable taste of copper (try putting a clean penny in your mouth and sucking on it) finishing with hazelnut oil notes (ie hazelnut but slight oxidation). You're either gonna love it or hate it. I loved it. More oysters? The Gilardeau (10CHF ea). From a single producer, considered the top oyster of France and one so coveted that the shells are actually laser engraved to prevent counterfeiting. Large, plump, good salinity beautiful creaminess with strong briny notes. It is absolutely worth the 10CHF the price. The lobster salad (42CHF) is excellent. More lobster than greens. The tail, simply poached, the claw fried golden brown in the lightest tempura batter. Fresh diced mango with a very tart bite add the acidity while creamy pureed avocado swirls and dots the plate. Fried rice crackers add texture. Very well balanced and refreshing dish. The lobster with champagne sauce(84CHF) is equally impressive. The tail and claws have been butter poached and sit in a very rich champagne cream sauce. No trace of alcohol, the sauce instead has the yeasty and acidic notes of champagne with a hint of sweetness. A foam version of the sauce atop the accompanying broccoli, peas and cauliflower compliments the vegetal flavor. The crunchy Venere rice with its unmistakable sandal wood notes is the perfect textural foil. Sadly no room for their tableside flambéed crepes Suzette that they are known for. Friendly and polished service. Fluent in English. Well chosen wine list with great selections from Switzerland. An unexpected find in Zurich. Outstanding. * At the time of this review 1CHF = 1USD

    Hummer and Austerbar specialize in two things, lobster and oysters so you better choose one or…read moreboth. We had a great dinner, my wife started with the lobster bisque and I the Oysters. Both starters were fantastic. For our mains, I had the surf and turf (a fillet and half lobster) my wife the lobster risotto. Both were excellent. I think another excellent choice would be the full lobster. It is quite a site. The restaurant is small, romantic and very upscale. This is probably one of the pricier meals I've ever had but it was well worth it. If your in Zürich and near the main Zürich HB station, I highly recommend.
