4.4 / 5.0(13,437 reviews)
Lovely place. Extremely busy. Huge restaurant with a staff of circa 80. The front of house team were brilliant. Definitely worth booking although it was a lucky tourist find. The food was excellent. The service was outstanding. The building was old and had been around since 1450+/- which is impressive. Generous time at the table. Beer 🍻 was great. The 1L glasses are heavy when full 😂. Very busy place. If one don’t have a reservation, be expected to be sharing a table. Atmosphere is great, loud and lively. There is a meal for 2, which includes sausage on a sword. Looks amazing but portion looks big :) So let's start, it's simple food, the delicious food is the food you need, from the meat burger to the vegan burger, from the sausages and ham to the pork shank, we didn't miss a single dish, we skipped dessert because there was no room in our stomachs, and the waiter who was with us was simply lovely, explaining and suggesting what to eat. All in all, simple and very tasty home-cooked food.

I visited this restaurant three times during my stay, both for lunch and dinner and everything I tried was fantastic! - Pumpkin Soup: One of the best I’ve ever had , light, interesting, and full of flavor. - Chicken Schnitzel with Mushroom Sauce: Perfectly thin and crispy on the outside, juicy inside. The sauce was creamy with a hint of lemon, absolutely delicious! - Rösti: Good but a bit dry for my liking. - Macaroni from their vegetarian options: Made with cheese, potatoes, and caramelized onions. light, comforting, and so good! The atmosphere is super charming, full of character and history. If you’re in a small group, you’ll likely share a table with others, which actually makes it more fun! We ended up having great conversations with our table neighbors :) Can’t wait to come back!

worth the visit. Went during dinner time didnt book a table, very lucky to got a seat. Ordered a rosti with veal meat and two types of sausage. Wasn't really familiar with the menu but was served by agdias, very friendly guy who suggested my menu and my drink which was a non alcoholic cider ( very nice drink ). Great experience afterall do visit if you're at zurich
