One of my favorite areas in Zurich, varied and authentic. The only downside of Cafe Noir is that the staff are not the most welcoming towards non-regulars. It's happened to me more than once that I was waiting at the bar to order when regulars came in, coffees were made and chats were had while I was just being ignored. It's great that this is a true neighborhood joint but they could do with a bit more friendliness towards the ordinary customer.

Was looking for something hearty and inquired about the quiches and opted for the bacon and garlic quiche. Got a latte macchiato as well. You can dine in and the quiche comes with a small salad. The latte macchiato had a layer of foam at the top and seems like they didn't sweeten it at all (sugar on the side) but it was perfect! I usually have a huge sweet tooth and love sweetness but I also can appreciate a good coffee as well, so for a sweet lover like me, the unsweetened version was amazing by itself and the foamed milk combination when you drink it was perfect. The bacon quiche was delicious as well!! They heat it up for you and it's a bacon, cheese with a crusted layer of goodness. Loved my first experience here and I can see myself coming back.

This Steiner Flughafebeck location was recommended as a good place for a modestly priced lunch in a…read morevery expensive Zurich. It was within an easy walk of our hotel, so we followed the recommendation. There were four of us and after eating such great food in Paris and along the Rhine in Germany, to be honest we were disappointed. We all had one of their soups. Ms T and I goulash soup and Tom Kha Gai respectively. I had a beer. These soups are not inspired, despite the recommendation. I would classify them as pretty institutional. My Tom Kha Gai had very little of the flavor that you expect. In fact we had a much better version on our cruise boat and the boat is not exactly the place to get great soups. There was very little lime or seasonings. Ms T's Goulash Soup was about the same. It did not taste of the rich paprika flavors it should have. I would classify it as average beef vegetable soup. We liked the little robot that delivers your food, but as for the food, it is OK, but don't expect to be impressed, if you like well flavored soups. And for $50 for two modest bowls of soup and one beer, I would expect better. This is a significant chain of restaurants in Zurich. You are getting fast-food quality.

Boyfriend and I came in the evening and had a bratwurst and grilled chicken with salad. They had three options for salad- chickpea salad with herbs, macaroni, or tabouli. The chicken was delish and the salads were light, healthy, and also delish! I love this area, because it's right by the Viadukt, so you can go shopping before, grab a drink here, and then get dinner at a fancier place, or stay here! The options are endless, and THIS GIRL likes options. You can even wander over to Garold's Garden, or the Prime tower! Or take a train somewhere else! So much to do. The location is wonderful. If the seating is taken up, feel free to lounge in the grass. There's usually room, and as Sebastien said, watch out for kids kicking balls. :D

The coffee is genuinely excellent - rich, well-crafted, and clearly made by people who care about their craft. But what really sets this place apart is the atmosphere and people. The staff here make you feel like a regular from day one, greeting customers with genuine warmth that never feels forced. It's the kind of place where you can settle in with a laptop for hours or bring the kids for a weekend treat - the artistic touches throughout create a relaxed, creative energy that somehow works perfectly for both. The vibe strikes that rare balance of being laid-back enough for serious coffee contemplation while staying vibrant and welcoming for families. Local art on the walls, comfortable seating, and that perfect coffee shop hum of conversation make it feel like a true community gathering spot. If you're tired of cookie-cutter chains and want to support a place that clearly puts heart into what they do, this is your spot.

My brother got a bacon omelette which he was not particularly impressed with and said he could make the same quality at home. I got the hangover brekkie which consisted of a pile of potato wedges smothered in cheese, a fried egg, 2 slices of bacon, a sausage, and herb cream cheese. This.... was so incredibly heavy - I love potatoes but couldn't only eat half of it. Part of it is because the chef puts the entire plate into like the microwave/oven once everything is plated so the cheese hardens too quickly and the potato wedges were mouth burning hot the entire meal. Even 15 min in, I was burning my mouth on them. The sausage also had an unusual texture and taste to it, I guess I'm used to American sausages but it just did not fit my palette. Also cream cheese is a strange pairing with this dish, something like ranch would have been better. The only redeeming quality was the bacon was perfectly crisp. The cappuccino Dihei was just the boost of caffeine I needed but when I read orange zest as part of the ingredients, I was expecting like finely grated orange, not a thick slice of orange peel hanging off of the cup.
