It cost 46 Swiss Frans which I thought was very expensive. But then you are in Zurich and everything is very expensive. I thought the schnitzel was good but nothing special. I liked the fries but they could have been warmer. When they were served they were lukewarm. Overall the atmosphere was very nice but the food was just average.

We choose this place for its water views and it was also located fairly close to where our free…read morewalking tour of Zurich ended, and despite the expensive cost, really enjoyed the food and location (guess the $$$ also included the price of the water views!) So there are two parts to this restaurant. The front part is a beer garden with a self service menu and live entertainment, however me and my brother ate at the back restaurant which had table service (and more comfy chairs along with the river view). I got fantastic local lamb chops that came with polenta, and delicious tomato/ eggplant/ bell pepper melange. My bother got local fish that came with a side of spinach and rice. The menu (they had them in English -yay!) had two options for the main course - a small plate and a big plate. We both got the big plate and it was so much food for both of us, that thank god they gave us a doggy bag (the food was too good to be just thrown). We ended up also splitting dessert - the cake was wonderfully warm and rich and nutty and accompanied by excellent ice-cream and fresh cream as well as two coffees. The cost for all this between the two of us came to CHF125 so def way more than we had planned to spend at lunch but service was quick and very pleasant, food was pretty good and views were blissful, so while pleased found this place, the hit to the wallet was unexpected. Oh yeah - also no wifi and only 4 stalls in the ladies loo (!) so there was a line (as usual).

Never have I ever been to a restaurant where a menu item doesn't come to your table with this much minimal effort put in platting the dish. The carrots where hole and poorly washed as were the radishes. The carrots were not even peeled, but came to the table whole! The green Carrot tops included. The pamesan cheese came served in a few big chuncks. The hummus was horrible, as were the tapenades of olive and tomatoe. I didn't even bother chewing the carrots and just left them on the cutting board. Certainly quite the experience, but I do not recommend it. Great views but you can find it elsewhere around the lake too.

Asked for a table in the main dining area, but was told no without a reservation. After dinner - main area was still not full, so that part of the experience didnt leave a positive impression. We were seated in the front area which has a few tables, with a mix of people having drinks and a couple of tables ordering the full menu. Not specific to this restaurant, but in zurich they have to list the origin of some ingredients including meats and fish. This is helpful when ordering. The pork cordon bleu was really good and I would have that again. Minus a couple if stars for the slow service and unwillingness to seat us in main area despite it being pretty empty.

I finally ate dinner here yesterday (Friday), and it was fabulous! You can make reservations via…read moretheir online system, but it only showed me the option for 8 pm, and I wanted dinner at 7 pm, so I had to call the restaurant to do that. When I arrived, the staff was really friendly and accommodating to my English-only speech skills and even gave me an English menu. They had a special daily menu that included a veal roast... with a guy wheeling a cart around that served up the veal roast with mushroom sauce, carrots, and polenta. The decor was really nice and the food was beautifully presented and tasted delicious. I ordered the veggie salad, thinking it was a garden salad, but it was actually a yummy antipasto of cooked veggies, including pumpkin, artichokes, and slices of Parmesan cheese. To try something new, I got the pumpkin strudel as my main dish. It came in a lovely flaky pastry filled with ricotta cheese, and you could really taste the amaretto in the sauce. My friend got the meatballs with rosemary gravy and leek mashed potatoes. I tried one of the meatballs, and it was tender and juicy. Prices are typical for Zürich. Dinner for two, including starters, main dishes, shared bottle of water, and 4 glasses of red wine (French Syrah Cuvée 2008, Château Haut-Blanville, Côteaux du Languedoc) came out to CHF 125.

James Joyce boasts having the "best" burger in town (it's not) and our local friend recommended the place more for drinks, but we chose this anyway since its within walking distance from Widder bar where we came from. The menu reads like a dependable Irish pub fare, but with Zurich prices. GAH! I feel destitute in Zurich. Prices of 25CHF and up for an entree is typical. Fish n chips were deliciously crispy; while the burger has decent moist MMMeat. Alas, the cheese was dried out and burnt on the edges. (I mean, how does one manage to burn cheese?!) Sit outside if the weather permits, because the setting is really inviting with tea light candles and fresh flowers on the table. A glass of Lillet Blanc and a Guiness on tap are excellent end of the night drinks. The friendly service warrants the 4th star, but you should go somewhere else for the best burger in town.

No, James Joyce didn't hang out here, but apparently a great part of its interior was brought over…read morefrom Jury's Hotel in Dublin, which JJ writes about in his novel "Ulysses." The hotel had been slated for demolition and the bank that was building a place to entertain its out of town clients bought the wood paneling and decorations and shipped it all over to Zurich--crazy! I read about this place in my guide book and it was also recommended by my Zurich resident friend so I had to check it out. From the outside you'd never be able to tell what the interior holds; it has a quite a modern-looking patio and is on a well-heeled side street off the main shipping drag, Bonhofstrasse. It looks like it could be any other upscale bar until you walk inside: lots of dark gleaming yet well-worn wood, intricate tile work, and period paintings. You can take it all in as you sip the beverage of your choice. We weren't hungry enough to sample their food, but from what I could see on the other tables it looked pretty damn good. The bartender was very nice and friendly and the whole place just felt very comfortable. Well worth a visit.

The Chez Fritz is one of the best restaurants around the Zürisee (lake of Zurich)…read more It is opposite of the Lindt & Sprüngli Chocolate Factory in Kilchberg. So ideally located and with a magnificent view of the lake. I think, the Chez Fritz has the same owner than the Seerose, but I think at the Chez Fritz it's more sophisticated place and not as show-offy as the Seerose. It has a fine, but still cosy ambience inside. And a large terrace with a outside bar. During the summer, you can hang out it the lounge area and watch people and enjoy the drinks. The food is excellent: the food is fresh, Mediterranean, modern and yummy-ly prepared. The chef has officially 15 points in the Guide Michelin (according to the official website from Chez Fritz). Wine comes mainly from Europe, with focus on France and Italy.

These were all delicious. I was hesitant about trying the veal since I've never tried it. I'm so glad I did because it was soooo good. The meat was tender and the mushroom sauce very tasty. I highly recommend this dish. My husband loved the chicken. Loved the calamari. Service: What can I say. Thomas, our server, was the best. He catered to us like we were family. He recommended the chicken and veal. We've never experienced anybody automatically recommending dishes to us unless we ask. Thomas made sure we had the best experience and gave us a few recommendations. We were definitely not disappointed. Thank you Thomas. You're the best! Ambiance: This cafe is right off the river Limat. You can choose to enjoy your meal or drink in the patio or inside. The staff are very friendly and wecome you with a smile.
