"Did you know that hard cheese fondues DO NOT contain LACTOSE?
Only our Adler fondue contains lactose due to the soft cheese." - Swiss Chuchi Menu
Located in the quieter touristy part of Zürich called Niederdorf is a Swiss restaurant, Swiss Chuchi - on the first floor of Hotel Adler Zürich. There's a lot of Swiss/ fondue restaurants to choose from. Honestly, I wasn't sure I wanted to eat here so I didn't make a reservation. When I made up my mind, it was too late to make one so, we went anyway and stood in line. The wait wasn't too bad. After 12 minutes of waiting, we got seated outside.
They have seasonal items, cheese fondue, chicken or beef fondue, soup, salad, raclette, vegetarian dishes, one fish dish, veal, chicken, beef, and beef liver. I don't recall seeing dessert on the menu.
Zwiebelsuppe mit Blätterteighaube:
Swiss onion soup with a savory cheesy puff pastry top. Allow at least 10 minutes to enjoy this after ordering. The best onion soup I've ever had. So good - like a warm hug on a cold evening. 5/5
Hausgemachte Spargelsuppe:
Home-made asparagus soup. A seasonal item that was available in the spring. This was a good soup too but pales in comparison to the onion soup. Since this is only available in the spring and not whole year round, you know they're using fresh ingredients. 4/5
Fondue mit schwarzem Trüffel:
Cheese fondue with black truffle, white wine, cherry liquor and garlic. Can it get any better than this? I think not. They give you a basket of pieces of bread to dip into hot bubbly cheese. Be sure to scrape the bottom and stir the cheese so it doesn't burn. 4.5/5
Fondue Chinoise, fein geschnittenes Rindfleisch, 200g zum selbst garen in heisser Rindsbrühe:
Fondue Chinoise, 200g thinly sliced beef for you to cook in a beef broth. Comes with six sauces: barbecue, garlic, chimichurri, tartar sauce, sweet & sour and curry) as well as Silverskin onions, baby corn, pickled gherkin. With one choice of side dish: Chips, Rice or French fries. I chose fries which I dipped into the truffle fondue. My favorite dipping sauce was the garlic sauce. The beef took a long time to cook. But it was tender though. 4/5
Service was good. They're very busy and the servers are doing the best they could without sacrificing time spent to make diners feel welcome.
