I read their "Spring Specials" Board and saw the Karotten Suppe and decided to sit for a spell and enjoy a bowl of one of my favorite soups. As the name suggests, Zoup - they sorta specialize in soups I suppose, (as well as other things I'm sure) with seasonal offerings/variations. I initially wanted carrot and ginger but I opted for the carrot-mango-orange variant. What's cool is that they offered to add some fresh ginger in as well. Win! Win!! In addition to my soup, I also ordered a Panache which is just a beer with a lime soda topper that's pretty refreshing. The staff was very courteous and helpful as well as linguistically patient with me as we both tried to communicate with one another. The ambiance is traditional Cafe European with a nice airy seating area to people watch without feeling like people are on top of you. So, if you are in Zurich and a soup person then this is the place for you.

I ordered a salad and pork shank and asked the waiter if it was crispy on the outside like a traditional Schweinshaxe. He said yes, but unfortunately, it wasn't -- which was disappointing. Also, our main dishes arrived before the salads, and the waiter didn't seem to care.

Everything is fresh and made daily. The pre-packed salad box is packed to the brim. The Thurgauer Apfel Salad is my personal favorite (apple, onion red radishes lettuce, green & red lettuce, lemon juice, chives.) The Waldorf Salad (vegan) is a close second. The Tomato Basil soup is über yummy. The Miso soup isn't too shabby either. The spicy Mango Spinach Ciabatta is my "go-to" sandwich. I always grab it if it's available. The Gorgonzola Pear sandwich and Tomato Mozzarella Ciabatta are pretty delicious too. Overall, this is a great little take-away shop with delicious healthy eats and very friendly and fast service. Also, this location is much less crowded than it's counterpart at the HB.

As it was our first time eating raclette, we asked our server to walk us through the menu. Lily was exceedingly helpful in explaining the differences in cheeses and their flavors, and she was also very attentive and checked in on us throughout the meal. I noticed that her welcoming demeanor was also shared by her colleagues who were waiting on the other tables around us. My family took Lily up on her recommendations, and we ordering one Klara and one Willi, each with a side of sausages, as well as one original tarte flambé and one vegi tarte flambée. The food was all very delicious!! My personal highlights from the meal were the sausage dipped in the Willi cheese along with the onions and potatoes that were served with the dish. The tartes also had very thin, yummy crusts topped with raclette cheese. The side of pickles provided a tangy contrast to the rest of the meal which I liked. We ended our meal with a warm chocolate cake and lemon sorbet. I'm not really one for alcohol, so I found the vodka in the sorbet to be a bit too strong for me. However, the chocolate cake with the jam and vanilla ice cream was very good and had just the right amount of chewiness. I wish that I could replace my local Cheesecake Factory with a Raclette Factory instead so that I could enjoy Swiss cheese melted over bread, sausages, and potatoes all the time. Oh well, perhaps it's just another excuse to visit Switzerland again one day :)

(I didn't, but it was tempting) everything looks fresh and so now wow: "get your healthy stuff but also indulge your palate" kind of concept. I was amazed about the low prices. As if I stepped out of Zurich but this shop is in the money centre of Zurich, unbelievable. I wonder how much rent they pay but sell fresh juice for 5.- only. So come here and get good goodies at a low price.

The soup was flavorful, piping hot, and went down a treat with the bread roll. After perusing their website, it would seem that NG is a part of the 'locavore' movement, using, when possible, locally sourced ingredients. Also nice, the service is friendly and prompt. One of the most interesting things about NG would be that they have three restos in ZH and one in Brazil! Por que? I aim to find out on my next trip to Not Guilty. Note: the soup sizes don't read 'small' and 'large' on the menu board. I forget what the cutesy language is...something like 'good day' for a small soup and for a larger soup it's something equally silly. Don't be discouraged as I was for a fraction of a second when trying to absorb the menu. There are only two sizes: good and gooder. ;)

Makes me really want to invest in a pair of food tweezers. The detail that goes into it is amazing! Comparatively, I thought this place was pretty well priced. It's 205 CHF/person for a 9 course menu (so either that, or you're spending $50 for 2 people at Mcdonalds). I choose Pavillon 100%.

The noodles definitely tasted great and was authentic. This ramen place is a bit on the pricier side and my friend said the prices were noticable raised but she loves this place so much, it didn't bother her. There are public bathrooms downstairs that they keep taken care of. As soon as you sit, they have clear separating glasses between tables which feels very sanitary, I love it. The ramen served is very aesthetic. I love the way they write their slogan on the nori. My favorite part is that they give you a bib to wear which was easy to put on. Both my friend and I definitely needed it because we both had soup spills on our bibs haha service was nice and they have wifi as well. This place seems to get packed very easily!
