My husband was very happy with his green salad very fresh and colorful and he added chicken. We were not dressed as well, as it appeared many had come in for lunch straight from their offices.

We were served promptly with plenty of attention to detail down to providing an English menu to make it even easier to order.

There were very few dishes available on the menu. We decided to order a couple of pasta dishes; when they came, they were apparently just pre-boiled pasta with a handful of tomatoes added - my ten year old niece's brownie troop could have cooked a better meal :-( While the service generally was good, it was very slow at times. This was surprising, given the fact that we arrived for dinner quite early, and there were only one or two other parties in the restaurant while we were eating.

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).

It's a welcomed break from Swiss food. The menu is simple, you don't even need it. You get salad with walnuts, steak with a creamy and d buttery sauce, and unlimited fries. You specify how you want your steak cooked. They have 30+ desserts - that you need a menu of...if you still have room for dessert. Their profiteroles being their most popular.

They do take reservations but I walked in without one as soon as they opened for dinner and got seated right away. A few minutes later, more people walked in. The dining space is quite tight. With tables right next to each other with a foot distance apart. You can also sit outside if you're feeling claustrophobic.

There are about 4-5 tables or so and a single server that tends them all. The menu is essentially prix fixe and I had no clue what I was getting myself into.

Overall, this is a very solid Swiss dining experience and I would recommend trying it out if in Zurich, but be sure to bring your wallet (roughly 110-150CHF per person) and make reservations.

The lobster and oyster bar Zurich. And that's what they serve since 1935. Not impressed?…read more Switzerland is a land locked country. Some trivia perhaps? The restaurant was the first to serve oysters in Switzerland after WWII. Today, deliveries of live lobsters and oysters are made twice daily for each service. Dishes are prepared in the classic French style and incorporate modernist touches. Straight to it, some fresh shucked Belon oysters (8CHF ea). The real deal from France (not the imitation farmed in the States). Unlike any oyster I've tasted. Plump and briny with an unmistakable taste of copper (try putting a clean penny in your mouth and sucking on it) finishing with hazelnut oil notes (ie hazelnut but slight oxidation). You're either gonna love it or hate it. I loved it. More oysters? The Gilardeau (10CHF ea). From a single producer, considered the top oyster of France and one so coveted that the shells are actually laser engraved to prevent counterfeiting. Large, plump, good salinity beautiful creaminess with strong briny notes. It is absolutely worth the 10CHF the price. The lobster salad (42CHF) is excellent. More lobster than greens. The tail, simply poached, the claw fried golden brown in the lightest tempura batter. Fresh diced mango with a very tart bite add the acidity while creamy pureed avocado swirls and dots the plate. Fried rice crackers add texture. Very well balanced and refreshing dish. The lobster with champagne sauce(84CHF) is equally impressive. The tail and claws have been butter poached and sit in a very rich champagne cream sauce. No trace of alcohol, the sauce instead has the yeasty and acidic notes of champagne with a hint of sweetness. A foam version of the sauce atop the accompanying broccoli, peas and cauliflower compliments the vegetal flavor. The crunchy Venere rice with its unmistakable sandal wood notes is the perfect textural foil. Sadly no room for their tableside flambéed crepes Suzette that they are known for. Friendly and polished service. Fluent in English. Well chosen wine list with great selections from Switzerland. An unexpected find in Zurich. Outstanding. * At the time of this review 1CHF = 1USD

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!

They charged us 10 CHF per music session, we were there for 2 music sessions. I don't mind the charge but I wish they let us know beforehand that there was a charge for music. Must-get: croque madam or croque monsieur Don't get: savory crepes but the sweet ones are better When to go: find out from their website when there will be live music playing! Other tips: the crepes were kind of soggy. I usually prefer it to be crispier since there's usually fruit, chocolate, cheese or something else to make it soft. So, if you don't want it to be too soft, ask them to crisp up the crepe more.

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!!!
