Hotel Hechtplatz is a small hotel, situated in an ideal location in the center of Zurich within…read morewalking distance to the train station and close to many restaurants and other attractions, including Burgermeister, which is only 2-minutes away - which I highly recommend if you enjoy gourmet burgers at a great price. Linda is the owner and manager, and she and the staff are all friendly. The building itself is very attractive and the rooms are exceptionally clean and quiet. The atmosphere is casual and there is a bar downstairs with occasional live music. This was my second visit. Highly recommended.

This ITALIAN joint is in a classic Swiss plaza and has the best view of the Lake Zurich Canal...20 feet away. Peep my pic.

To be honest I was expecting the worst. I just didn't know how Mexican food was in Switzerland…read more I'm not sure if it was my lowered expectations but my chicken fajitas were pretty good! I'd rate them like 3.5/5 or 4/5. Husband had a burrito which he didn't like much, however. Maybe the food is hit or miss here. The service was ok. We had outdoor seating with nice views but little space. I was squished behind another diner. Would I go back? Probably not but it's really not a bad place if you're craving Mexican food.

It is especially nice on a warm evening when you can sit outside with a view on the lake. Really well suited for an evening with friends.

Since we moved to Oerlikon, we started more and more to have brunches and dinners in Chayenne. The…read morefood is great and it always seemed very fresh. The atmosphere is very joyful and, unlike many Zurich places, it is almost always populated by young (and noisy) people, who want to have a good time. I find this very relaxing. There are also available seats at the bar and often people are standing as well, since big groups of friends joining after work is a common view there. The strongest point of the place is, in my opinion, it'a brunch selection. On weekends, you can serve brunch until as late as 4 pm. Try their omelette, it is delicious! (I got the New York one). Also, they serve breakfast combos (i chose the American and the Swiss one), which are very expensive (up to even 30 CHF if I remember well), but they are worth it! The combos are enough for two people and they are very diverse. I would be happy if they offered more drinks as included in the combo though. However, be prepared to pay Zurich prices. It's an expensive place, but I never regretted spending money there. Enjoy!

Always change at least a little bit of local currency at your destination. Why we didnt stop at…read morethe currency exchange booth at the Zurich airport to exchange dollars to Swiss Francs left me dumbfounded. We didn't even have euros on us. No clue. Even at our hotel the desk clerk said no need to change money, everywhere takes credit cards. Worst advice ever who would know there was a Food Festival going on? Carved meat, local specialties, beer( even though I'm not a beer drinker) just the thought of missing out on this gastronomic event - auwe!!! We continued to walk in search of an eating place. The sky had already darkened. I walked into the first lighted doorway. Once inside I saw the posters, ummm, yeah... oops! Quick exit. Getting desperate we were going to starve that evening, we returned to the main train station. Twist of fate. There before us was a classy restaurant. Almost scared to enter since we weren't in our finest duds, we were accepted and shown a table in the front of the restaurant. What class!

These were all delicious. I was hesitant about trying the veal since I've never tried it. I'm so glad I did because it was soooo good. The meat was tender and the mushroom sauce very tasty. I highly recommend this dish. My husband loved the chicken. Loved the calamari. Service: What can I say. Thomas, our server, was the best. He catered to us like we were family. He recommended the chicken and veal. We've never experienced anybody automatically recommending dishes to us unless we ask. Thomas made sure we had the best experience and gave us a few recommendations. We were definitely not disappointed. Thank you Thomas. You're the best! Ambiance: This cafe is right off the river Limat. You can choose to enjoy your meal or drink in the patio or inside. The staff are very friendly and wecome you with a smile. So if you're in Zurich, definitely check out this place and ask for Thomas. Great experience. Definitely recommend this place. 5+++ stars*

The restaurant is small and was packed at 2pm. We waited for about 15 mins for a table. We were supplied English menus and there were some wonderful options.

This place is more of a 3.5 star. The food is 3 stars but ambiance is 4 stars!…read more We went on a night where there was live music playing. 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.
