The bread basket had plain white bread slices that were very fresh and very good. There was also a basket outside the bathroom with bite-size Daim bar candies, which we pilfered a bunch of every time one of us went to the bathroom. So yummy... We got Pommes Allumette (skinny fries, AKA matchstick potatoes) as a side, and the meat and fries were all-you-can-eat. They also served us an eggplant appetizer marinated in balsamic vinegar. Normally I don't like really sour things, but the appetizer was very tasty. One of my friends doesn't eat meat, so she ordered the fish, and that was also all-you-can-eat. Our table of 6 shared two bottles of red wine (Atalayas, Ribera del duero) and sparkling water, and the bill came out to about 85 per person (not including tip). Dress appropriately, because the heat from the grill will make you HOT. I'm glad I wore a tank top to dinner. All-in-all, good fun and good eats. The thin beef steaks are quite lean and don't have much taste on their own, so you need to eat them with all the condiments. I'm not a huge fan of the skinny fries, but they are very French, so we all got them as sides, since we were in a French restaurant. Make sure you make a reservation, because they were fully booked out on a Friday night.

When I came here I was not expecting too much since it was grilled, non-seasoned/marinated meat with some basic sauces plus fries. But oh my: the quality of the meat was amazing and the grilled beef was de-li-cious! I didn't even need any of the condiments, just the beef was enough. It was so good that I was craving it for days. That being said, the condiments were quite good too, I really liked the mustard fruit and the peppers, they really complimented the meat. And oh, the fries, they were tasty and crunchy so I was for sure a happy trooper! Also, the service was prompt and correct. I must admit that we went on a rainy weekday when there were not that many other people so I am not sure if it is representative. Anyways: even my "not-so-keen on beef" friend also liked it too so enough said... I enjoyed my evening at La Cote and would go back if the right opportunity comes up!

Ksanet, Bianka and Rui were amazing in their own rights and definitely were humans first and Lumiere employees second and forth. Not only did they serve us but gave us a few moments from their tight schedules to walk us through about how we could make use of a Sunday ( Switzerland for the most part is closed on Sunday's and we were not prepared for that :( ). These folks had some amazing suggestions to make through and through and helped us a lot with our questions about Switzerland and travels in general. The ambiance was stunning and the place was packed and had moderate amount of noise in there attributing to the conversations. The interiors were pretty amazing and well thought out and depicted the history of Lumiere. We ordered a side salad, octopus with sliced potatoes, tuna tartare on avocado bed and for dessert we got ourselves the lime tart. The octopus dish was outstanding just like the tuna tartare where we enjoyed every bite slowly. The salad was put together very well and the dessert topped it all off to call it an evening. This place definitely should definitely be in your list to visit in Zurich and given its proximity to Zurich HB it's an easy decision to make ( even if you had to come out of your way to grab a bite here it will be so well worth it).

I tried this fun thing called Hausgemachtes Öpfelchüechli mit Vanillesauce ... which is basically like fried apple rings with vanilla sauce. It was pretty decent, and not too heavy, but nothing to write home about. Also, I know Europeans have a different pace of life, but I kept trying to get the waiters attention (since we were in a bit of a rush) and he kept kinda just ignoring me or giving me one of those "yeah, yeah get back in your seat and i'll get to you when I get to you" kinda looks. Wasn't much appreciated. Anyway, I haven't really had their food here, so maybe that might win me over ... if I'm ever in the area again! Stay Cheerful ;)

My son and I ordered a French Onion soup for each of us and a large bucket of Mussels. Service up until the serving of the soup was very good and after became excellent. While enjoying our soup my son remembered that he had an appointment close by and had to leave for that appointment but not before finishing the excellent soup. When the waiter returned to clear our soup bowls he inquired as to where my son was, and I told him what happened. He said no problem he will hold the mussel order until he gets back (by now the restaurant was full) which I thought was so nice. He held the order for 90 Minutes!!! All the while as I asked him to please place the order to turn the table he insisted that it was ok. My son returned we devoured the delicious mussels had an espresso and let a big tip. It was a very nice thing the waiter did and we surly enjoyed our food.

This is a French restaurant that is also a pizzeria, so kind of a strange combination, but hey--who…read moredoesn't love pizza? From what I can gather, the menu is mostly French (apart from the pizza options), and they also have some daily specials written on a chalkboard that the waiter explains after you get seated. I came here last Thursday for dinner with some coworkers before heading down the street to Almodobar for some drinks. There was no one else in the restaurant yet when we arrived at 6:30 pm, so we got our pick of a table by the window. Dinner came with a bread basket and small cup of what looked like pea soup with a breadstick. It was a bit strange to be drinking warm soup out of a little glass cup, but the soup was still a tasty start. I chose one of their specialities--a flank steak with a red onion sauce and Pommes Allumettes for CHF 35,00. The steak was juicy and delicious, and I was a bit surprised that the thinner cut was not tough nor dry at all. Perfectly cooked and much better than some flank steaks I've had elsewhere in the past. I also learned that Pommes Allumettes are very thin, tiny French fries. I think I actually prefer the thicker "regular" ones, as I actually like tasting more potato and found the teeny ones to be quite salty and oily. All washed down with a lovely bottle of Barbera d'Asti wine and some refreshing tap water, it was a good meal and a pleasant place to linger for a nice chat with friends. I didn't get dessert this time, but I've had the homemade tarte Tatin with vanilla ice cream on a previous visit, and it was delicious. It's a upside-down tart with fruit that is caramelized in butter and sugar before the tart is baked.

CZ is a collectively-run business where the workers are also the owners and hierarchy is dispensed with. The vibe is relaxed, all seems to run smoothly and pretension is non-existent. The menu is a mix of meat dishes, veggie dishes and vegan fare, all organic. Locally and ethically sourced products, whenever possible, is Cafe Zähringer's way. Of my few visits, I have only ever had flavorful meals attractively presented. I took my family on their first ever visit to CH to CZ for dinner and they very much enjoyed it! Having lived through the Summer of Love in San Fran as young adults, I'd like to say that this place brought 'em back, in a good way. Some of the cuisine we sampled was: Bärlauch pesto over penne, gorgeous creamed broccoli-bell pepper soup, halloumi plate accompanied by different types of salad, and tofu with veggies in a curry broth. The family was satisfied and so was I. On a warm day nothing really beats sitting outside under the trees with birds chirping having, as Ken M. said, righteous 'hippie food' at Cafe Zähringer. Non-smokers sitting out front beware--you will inhale a cig's worth of smoke or more.
