Oh, what could have been... Restaurant L'Unico should provide a heaven on earth dining…read moreexperience... it has all the makings of a great restaurant! However, delivery fails start to finish! For an expensive "fine dining" spot, this place does not deliver. Avoid at all costs! Let's begin with the location and our waiter, Alfred. It's a "non-smoking" hotel, but is reminiscent of the 80s in the US when they placed smokers right next to the "non-smoking section." There is a smoker's lounge on the first floor of the hotel, which makes the entire floor reek like an ashtray (think casino!). There are dozens of guests smoking just outside the doors, including the restaurant, which pumps even more cigarette smoke into first floor and the dining room! Disgusting way to eat, none of the food or wine tastes right in a smoke-laced room. The hotel allows a minority of guests to ruin the restaurant for most diners. Alfred, a smoker, greeted us reeking of smoke... 1/2 a table away, it was nauseating! Which also likely explains his prolonged absences from our table, outside on a smoking break! Service abominable... it took 90 minute after we finished our entrees to get dessert and the check. The host serviced most tables around us, one diner simply got up and left. Let's mention food. Asparagus soup was good, as was the house salad. The risotto was very undercooked, which was one whole dish plus side at our table. The veal saltimbocca was cooked well, but quite salty. The red wine was served room temperature, obviously not cared for in a climate controlled atmosphere! Ice cream for dessert was mediocre, the chocolate ice cream tasted freezer burned, and was only 1/2 a scoop. The restaurant could be great. But, management has to step up and deliver the "smoke free" hotel promised in all its advertising. If you're a smoker, this place is for you. For non-smokers, the hotel and restaurant fails miserably. We're here several more days, but definitely will not dine at this place again! Do not dine here if you want a quality meal in a "smoke free" environment!

Decent restaurant just outside of downtown Zurich with a pretty neat menu and a very nice cocktail…read moreselection. The menu is quite substantial complete with a nice selection of meats, including delicious aged beef and a large homemade pasta menu which you essentially pick the sauce and pair it with the pasta. The restaurant itself was actually nicely decorated and had a pretty good ambiance but the food and service honestly fell a bit short. The pasta was decent, but it was honestly a small portion and a bit bland. The service was below average as well as I had to wait quite a bit of time before greeted and once seated the server seemed disinterested... Overall, great location and decor but not all that great of a dinner experience. Pros- Ambiance Location Presentation Decor Meat case Great cocktail selection Homemade pasta Bread dipping sauces Cons- Very average food Below average service Waited approx 10 mins before being greeted and shown to table (wasn't busy at all) Small portions

This is a great place overall to get exposed to middle eastern varieties. I know it's a Moroccan restaurant but there is hardly any difference with a traditional Lebanese as an example.

The concrete walls have subtle and strange art painted on them, and I'm a fan. If you find yourself atop the staircase, which you should, because who doesn't want to see what's up there?

Like I said.. it's just a really cool set up and ambiance. The food is wonderful. I was kind of sick, and still really enjoyed it... that's saying something, eh? The moussaka was freaking delicious. Fantastic flavour and really nice blend of ingredients and textures. We also really loved the falafel. The other things we ordered (halloumi, oliven-labneh, tzatziki hummus, and tabouleh) made the meal absolutely delicious. The combo of awesome flavours and textures is totes key, and we smashed it! yes, I've apparently become an Australian surfer. Anyway, Bebek is a winner.

Our first visit was far from perfect, featuring a few culinary mistakes (like burnt goose liver)…read moreand some inexplicable odd behaviour from the head of service (like our reservation being changed without our approval). However, the restaurant has real potential, because Tobias Funke is an excellent chef. It's that simple. They were struggling with an influx of new guests they received due to Gault Millau's award, but they have reinforced the kitchen with a dedicated pastry chef, so you might have a better, more consistent experience than we did. Nobody's perfect, so we don't hold it against them. The food is all you would expect of a new gourmet restaurant headed by an excellent chef: Excellent bread and amuse bouches, creative compositions and big flavours. If you're looking to impress, then this is an excellent. The gourmet part of the restaurant is rather small, even though the tables are quite small, too. All of his PR wouldn't let you know that he has a knack for good pastry. His pre-dessert, an orange variation, is absolutely inspired. And his chocolate variation is truly excellent, one of the best showcases of Felchlin's ultra-luxurious Bolivian criollo Grand Cru couverture I've eaten so far. Beautiful presentation. Insider's tips: You can order from both menus if you eat in the bistro. The restaurant has a menu just for children. All food for the kids (and adults), from the ketchup to the french fries, is home-made and fresh, free from all artificial preservatives and flavor enhancers.

I came here last night for my first Yelp International Table event. I've never really hung out in…read morethis area of Zürich before, so it was cool to check out a new place. The surrounding buildings all looked fairly modern and new, which was kind of surprising, because I had an image of this area being kind of dumpy. The pub had an old-fashioned look with old-style decorations on the wall, but everything seemed clean and new--which I really liked. I guess it's been a while since I've been in a Zürich pub, because I have bad memories of stale cigarette smoke still lingering in other places right after they instilled the indoor smoking ban. This bar is really spacious and has a lot of different kinds of beer on tap. I had two little glasses of Smithwick's, because my fellow Yelpers told me it's difficult to find this Irish beer elsewhere in Zürich. It's a really good-tasting beer, and I would have downed more, except I had to work the next day. I already had dinner before coming, so I couldn't partake in the tasting-looking menu. The fully-loaded nachos and pot pies and fries looked REALLY yummy. There was a guy named Mel who played the guitar and sang, and he was really good as a one-man band. I think he was supposed to stop at one point because there was a soccer game on tv, but due to popular request, he was able to keep on playing. The staff was really nice and spoke English. It was a bit loud to talk comfortably over the live music, but not impossible to have decent conversations. The only downside was that I didn't see any wall hooks to hang up my winter coat. But other than that, I really liked this place.
