Took the easy route since we were staying here, beautiful location and views from this restaurant. My girlfriend was seated then I came in and they seated me across the restaurant, when we realized they put us together however they had asked if we wanted water, not knowing we both said yes then we had two very expensive bottles of water, neither were finished but we were charged a Kings' ransom for them! Food was good, service was great. I think the servers were entertained by us which added to the experience. Although it was a pricey dinner we did take leftovers to the room and enjoyed the next day. Definitely an easy way to go if you don't want to search out another restaurant. read more

The food was lacking flavor, in my opinion. I was personally not able to eat much of it. I found the staff to be polite and prompt, but also not accomodating. In my opinion the decor was unimpressive. read more

I was happy to find this place located in the Marriott Hotel. It turns out the one of the best rated restaurants on Yelp in my area was inside my hotel. I booked a reservation online. I arrived and was quickly greeted and seated. It appears that this restaurant shares employees with the Thai restaurant also located onsite. I started a with a beer while I was reviewing the menu and I was provided some baked bread with two different kind of butters to start. I decided to order a Threesome for 59 CHF. It came with an appetizer, an entrée and a dessert. I went with the cold meat and cheese plate to start followed by the Entrecote steak and followed by Lava Schoggi for dessert, lava cake with liquid core and sour cream ice cream. I ordered another beer during dinner and had plenty of time to eat my food. I had good service here and the food was good also. My least favorite was the steak, It was cooked perfectly but the portion was small and it didn't have that ribeye consistency but more like a sirloin. The threesome for 59 CHF was a good deal. Overall four stars! read more

Decided to stay in and eat at the hotel and I was not disappointed. The restaurant is not very large, but it was very comfortable. One booth sits inside a small gondola! The place is decorated with Swiss charm and all of the menus had both English and German so it was very easy to navigate. My waitress was very nice and helpful. She recommended that I try their fixed menu that included any appetizer, any non-special entree and a desert. I chose the asparagus risotto and a traditional Swiss entree made with veal and mushrooms in a sauce with hash browns. The risotto was very good. Super creamy and tender and the fried asparagus on top was a lovely touch. The veal was spectacular! So tender and flavorful! I absolute loved it! I paired my meal with a local beer which was also delicious. I was so full after my meal that I opted for a single scoop of pistachio ice cream. I look forward to my next meal at eCHo! read more

The food was good. We had a season salad and the classic because we had a fondue earlier and could not eat a lot for dinner so we shared. The waiter messed it kinda up by announcing our birthday instead of our anniversary and had lots of attitude after. The other waiter working just 2 days and still in training was very nice. The lights and decoration were really nice, we had a nice view on the river and the City. read more

eCHo - Swiss Food Near Me - Zürich, ZH

My first meal in Zurich was at eCHo. I had made reservations way in advance for late dinner since my flight won't get in to Zurich until close to 9pm. So, when I got here, I pretty much had the restaurant to myself as all of Zurich has already had eaten dinner except for me. I got to pick my table and of course, I had to eat inside their one and only gondola. Being lactose intolerant, I'd normally shy away from dairy but I'm in Switzerland! And it was almost 10pm and I had no other plans but to eat and sleep! So, I got the fondue. I thought about getting some protein but the server said their meat portions are quite big so, I skipped that part. The fondue was more than enough. There was so much bread (and you could ask for more if it's not enough). They must put a lot of alcohol in their fondue or maybe I'm just not used to drinking anymore, I was getting tipsy from eating fondue! Hot melty cheese enrobing each chunk of bread...yuuuummmm...I finished my fondue. Every drop and morsel in the pot was gone. I had a few pieces of bread leftover. The service was good too. I felt guilty for being the only person in there so I kind of rushed myself even if they weren't rushing me. It was a fantastic first meal despite not having meat. read more

This was the best restaurant to enjoy a nice meal after a long day of travel. It was warm and festive. The waiter, Cara, went above and beyond and was very nice to interact with. The ravioli and the cordon bleu were fantastic. We loved this place so much that we went again to try the fondue. It did not disappoint! It was delicious! Love the vibe of this restaurant... it is nice but laid back, and casual, fun, good food, and relaxing. Shout out to Cara and Florien for showing us a great time! Make sure to book a reservation as the restaurant is very popular. We look forward to dining here again someday. read more

The eCHo restaurant located in the Zürich Marriott was wonderful! Service by Florian, Cara, and Anastasia was excellent and our meals of venison filet were outstanding! We received wine advice that was excellent and the restaurant itself was truly warm and comfortable. Very happy to recommend this restaurant even if you do not stay at the hotel. Top Notch! read more

We were staying at the Marriott - tried eCHo as it had good reviews - we were very pleased with everything! Staff was friendly and attentive (Florian was our waiter and made great wine recommendations). The lamb shank was delicious and my veal with cream sauce was also a delight .. pricey but expected at the hotel and needless to say Switzerland isn't cheap- would definitely go back we liked it more than the Thai restaurant also part of the hotel- read more

we had a fun experience fondue and steak cooked on table portions were more than ample all was fresh and delicious service was attentive very nice people read more

Great food and outstanding service (Sebastian was funny, helpful and friendly). It was Friday night and they had a wine buffet with 4 to 5 different kinds of wine. We didn't wait long for our food; it came piping hot and well prepared. They also didn't rush us on the bill (much like all of Europe) which made a very relaxing and enjoyable evening. Also, we got seated in the ski gondola/cable car! read more

eCHo is located inside the Marriott Hotel in Zurich. I had reservations and when we went, we were the only ones in the restaurant. It's definitely an upscale restaurant and the decor matches that feel. As a starter, we got the meat and cheese plate. For entrees, we shared the Fondue and Cordon Bleu. The presentation for each dish was really nice. Swiss food isn't my favorite but I enjoyed the food at eCHo. However, the food was not worth the prices. Food is good but not anything special. I'm sure there's better food in Zurich at a more reasonable price. Before we ordered the entrees, we were originally going to share the "A Threesome for 59" which is a 3 course meal for $59 CHF. Our waiter said we CAN'T share that menu item. He said we would have to order 2 of them and if he sees us share, we would have to pay twice. That was not only disappointing but ridiculous. I've never been to a restaurant that will not let you split a plate with someone else, let alone be so strict about it. Skip eCHo unless you're into hotel restaurants. The mediocre food and unfriendly service isn't worth the high price tag. read more

I must say that I'm disappointed. First of all when you enter through Thai restaurant the combination of smells of Thai and Swiss restaurants is just very bad. Then, when entering the Swiss part the cheese smell is so strong that you feel it all evening- sorry but something must be wrong with ventilation. The menu card was short which was good. We chose our meals but had difficulties to explain to the waiter that as side dish we want rosti instead of purée- this does seem difficult right? The meals were not served at the same time, first man were served theirs. The food was ok but my expectation was to eat something terrific as it is Marriott in the end. A nice accent of giving flowers to ladies didn't result in hugging scoring- nice element but when you strive for perfection! read more

Nice place. Not cramped. Food was good. First time we've had our steak cooked tableside. Rosti was also good, and the grilled veggies. Lava cake was tasty. Our server was very attentive and pleasant. Good wine selection. Recommend this restaurant for those who don't feel like walking 15 minutes to City Center. read more

Unexpectedly great! I did the 3 course with the wine buffet. Just a warning, a glass of every variety will leave you pretty much S@#T faced. I had the melted cheese with pickles in a potato skin. Hum what not to love here? Then I had the game entree and then the gooseberry sorbet sporting a real gooseberry. He had the beef shabu shabu of sorts, raw meat served with a very hot stone. Not sure how Swiss that is, but he loved it. The check arrived in a large box with a cow horn on it, hopefully not from the hotel cow that were were told made the cheese we had. Upon opening the box, we found the check with a very large audible MOOO! read more

Overpriced but excellent quality. Decent selection and variety. Steak was cooked perfectly. The beers were small (0.3L for price of 0.5L). If this was 30% cheaper it would be 4 to 4.5 stars. But, it is a hotel restaurant, so maybe it is to be expected. If money is no concern, it is worthwhile. read more

eCHo - Angus beef steak with spatzl and brussel sprouts - Swiss Food Near Me - Zürich, ZH

We came here for dinner while staying at the hotel. It's a cute restaurant on the second floor. The wait staff were exceptionally friendly. We loved the bread with cheese, salami, and various butters that were brought to the table. Two of us ordered the cheese fondue appetizer to share. Our main courses were the burger and the sea bass. The cheese fondue was disappointing, actually it was the worst of the fondues we had on our trip. The burger was pretty terrible. It looked great and size was generous but the meat was just weird. The fries it came with were awesome. My sister really liked her sea bass. We all thought it was so clever to have the dessert menu on postcards and they said they would send them for us. My main complaint is that even though service was very friendly it was unbelievably slow. We were there at least an hour before the appetizer came to the table. And then it was a long time before the main course came. The reason we chose to eat in the hotel was to have a quick and easy dinner. This was so slow! read more

2 stars is generous. So we read all of these reviews about how wonderful this would be, but it was lousy. We did the 3 courses and wine buffet for 69 CHF each. For our starters we got the trout sampler and goat cheese, for the main course we had the perch and the veal and for desert we got the assortment. The trout sampler was OK. The goat cheese was nice except it was encrusted in some sort of stale bread which ruined it (The bread was also stale). The veal was overcooked and gross, but the sauce was nice I guess. The perch was cooked fine but lacked flavor and had bones in every bite. The desert was the worst - in an assortment of 6 only one was halfway decent. As for the wine buffet, the gimmick that sold us, was a really cool idea in theory but all of the wines except one were pretty brutal to drink, even the waiter made a joke about it at one point. Every wine was cheap and gross. I had much higher expectations for the prices and for a Marriott. Do yourself a favor and skip this place. read more

Worth going for the 65 CHF (serve yourself) all you can drink "wine buffet" with 3 course meal. Everything was fine from the ravioli, salads and cured meats to steaks and sides, but due to the size of my group, we didn't get the hot stones which took away a lot of the fun from the steak dinner. My steak was cold, not sure if that is common here when you ask for rare. It was not seasoned well while my sides were over seasoned. Boiled Brussel sprouts, thyme mashed potatoes, red cabbage, all were disappointing. Others in my group got the veal "zurich dish" that also contains liver and it was overly creamy making it impossible to finish. The hash brown potatoes were nothing new or impressive. It's a great place to go if you're staying in the hotel or need an easy venue for a big group. read more

The third time this year, we have dined yesterday with a guest in the eCHo restaurant of the Mariott hotel. The outstanding service has escorted the whole dinner and created a welcome and warm atmosphere. The Swiss dishes have been perfectly prepared again and the dessert creations were delightful. Thank you. read more

Extremely good food! The service was exemplary! The best risotto I've ever had in my life. We ate New Years dinner here and it's the best New Years dinner I've had in many different countries. If I would live here I would eat here every day that's how good it was. Prices were extremely good and the food was heaven! Definitely recommend it to anyone, it is a gem! read more

This place is something of a gem hidden away in Marriott Zurich. I don't usually dine in restaurants that are affiliated/owned by a hotel, but I needed to find a place in short notice to celebrate my wife's birthday. These guys arranged an awesome pistachio strawberry cake on a 1 hour notice!! Next up: They reserved the "cable car" table for us... Which is the perfect piece to make an occasion memorable. Food was great and cake was complimentary. Highly recommended. read more

This restaurant was in the Zurich Marriott. I was just here for one night. Food was good. The tartar appetizer was great. The cheese fondue pretty average. I went with the threesome special. Appetizer, mean mean and desert. With "all the wine you could get from the wine Buffett". Turns out the wine buffet had one wine selection, a very young (2015) Pinot Noir. The bottles were always closed and I had to ask for a refill three times. After two hours the finally managed to remember I was owed a dessert. Overall, I would not recommend this restaurant. Very slow service, even for European standards. Too expensive for the quality of food and service provided. read more

Food is good (not great - probably a 3-star), but he overall experience gets 4 stars for two reasons... 1) service was friendly and prompt and 2) they have an open "wine bar" which means exactly that - all you can drink wine with your meal. For $69...this is the best deal in Zurich. Definitely worth a visit if you are at the hotel and even if not. Good meal, open wine bar...yes please!! read more

This place is very good. I had the veal which, if you like veal, was very good. One of my party had the cheeseburger, but with some strange kind of cheese that we don't see much of in America. The chocolate fondly was awesome. The restaurant is very clean and the service was really professional and prompt. I would recommend this place to anyone that doesn't mind spending 70-90 dollars per person. read more

Probably the best value in Zürich... 3 courses for 69 CHF that includes a full wine buffet. The wines are decent and the food is good. I've always found the staff very nice and helpful. I started with an asparagus and strawberry salad... it's quite nice oddly enough. For a main I enjoyed the fillet of perch on a hash brown (potato cake) bed with a champagne sauce on the side. Their fresh baked breads are delicious and dessert... as a friend of mine says, it's smack yo' momma good. My favorite is the trio which consists of flan, lemon sorbet atop a chocolate nest with fresh berries inside and two deep fried Lindor chocolate truffles (one white and one milk) that have been wrapped in a thin pastry to look like a candy wrapper. That's the SYMG part... one night we asked for just a plate of these heavenly goodies. For once the term "amaze balls" truly applies to something. Of course as a American Southerner by way of London they had me at deep fried y'all. read more

eCHo - Echo Perch Fillet - Swiss Food Near Me - Zürich, ZH

Excellent service and yummy food. I indulged in the three course special (one of each off the menu) for 69 francs. This also came with an unlimited "wine buffet" of Swiss choices. I had the salad with bacon which was delicious, trout, and a divine chocolate trio dessert. I love the touch that they have their own cow that provides the milk for all of the cheese. It was a bit slow to get my ticket, but lovely people working there otherwise. read more

I'm staying at the Marriott in Zurich and eCHo is attached to the hotel. I had fondue and nussili salad with the house red. From the seating to the service it was wonderful. Sebastian was fabulous; he explained everything for my first fondue experience in Zurich. I did not quite catch my servers name but he was delightful too. Definitely recommend. read more

Had a traditional Swiss dinner here. We started with a cheese fondue that was the perfect texture and taste. It was served with multiple types of bread that complemented the cheese. The main course was Bratwurst and mashed potatoes. It was also excellent. Will definitely eat there again when we return! There was also a cute cable car for intimate couples or a picture! Highly recommended - you don't have to leave the hotel! read more

Honestly, this is THE restaurant to bring friends from abroad to or foreign business partners!! An All-Swiss Restaurant with ceiling lamps made of milk bottles, artful hay stacks in the background, one of the friendliest serving crew I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing and absolutely delicious food (and I'm a tough critic when it comes to food)! Bring an appetite as you may end up with a choice of menu such as: home-made bread and cheese, followed by a little Raclette Appetizer, a Zueri Gschnetzeltes and Roesti Entre and hot chocolate cake for dessert puuuuuh! A cute little extra was when they came to our table with a picture of their own cow, Gretli, who is responsible for all the milk and cheese products on the menu read more
