Authentic Swiss restaurant that respects the ingredients by not over spicing or complicating the dish. Delicious through and through. Staff was friendly as well and the atmosphere felt welcoming, definitely a recommend!

Loved this little bar - but it was the food that was fantastic! I ordered the schnitzel and it was perfect!The meat was cooked perfectly and flavoured well with red wine jus. The rest of my dish (forgot what it was called) was also delicious. The men running the place were very hospitable and patient and sat down with us to explain what the menu was and service was great! Would high recommend.

Fantastic, unassuming little restaurant. Great food and very cozy atmosphere.

I had a meatloaf. It was fantastic. The spinach was cooked perfectly. It also had a couple of French toasts on the side, the tastiest most perfect toasts ever. Really excellent meal! We were sitting outside, it was very, very nice. There is a canopy roof, so no fear of rain. The waitress was super nice. Pro tip if you know no German: the ladies room is the one on the right.

Delicious food, friendly staff and an atmosphere like in a typical Swiss home. The menue is small but well selected. Don't forget to try their selection of wine. The staff is well informed about the origin of everything they serve. Highly recommended for an unforgettable dinner in Zurich.

Great place with a cool, simple neighbourhood feel - food was overall excellent, as always, with friendly service. This place remains one of our favourites in Zurich.

This Restaurant is amazingly good value for money and the food is all totally fresh and organic. cooked to perfection with such a wide variety to choose from no matter what your palate dictates. The atmosphere is relaxed and cosy and staff are so professional and attentive to your every need. We even got some delicious chocolates to accompany our after dinner coffee.
