Unassuming hole in the wall of a restaurant on a street in the old town leading up to Lindenhof. But inside the restaurant is a true gem, unpretentious but excellent food. Not cheap, but the what in Zürich is? If nothing else, go there for the slow/low-temperature cooked veal!

We made reservations here based on reviews - and it is true, the food and attentive service are excellent and memorable. I had the slow cooked veal ( last one availabe) and it truly melts in your mouth - like nothing i have had before. And my wife had fish which she said was also perfect. All aspects of the... More

Invited to a business lunch, we had one of their specialities, the medium rare saddle of veal slowly cooked at 40 degrees in the oven. I must admit I have never eaten a more tender piece of veal! The service was very attentive, the setting in a historic house a few steps away from the Lindenhof where you can enjoy... More

This restaurant is a definite must if your looking for top quality food, atmosphere and service. You have to pay more than your average restaurant but this is so much better than your average restuarant. No brainer in my view. Put Lindenhofkeller at the top of your list for Zurich dining.

I have been invited there for my birthday and it was good (apart from the service). The food was solid. My starter was a soup with truffles. I could not taste the truffles which shows of the poor quality of them (unfortunately). My husband had the foie gras and that was absolutely excellent. For the main I had a steak... More

We had a business dinner at this restaurant. Since we were a party of 12, we had a set menu which was possibly the best I have had. We started with a small dish of veal and lentils, followed by tartare of salmon with avocado, lentil soup, roast veal and ended with a warm chocolate pudding with ice cream. Every... More

What a treat, after a long flight and tiring day, to enjoy an evening at Lindenhofkeller. Service, food, ambience --- all were superb. It was elegant but not stuffy. Highly recommend.

I was invited to dinner by a business partner, as we walked the cobblestone streets of Old City Zurich we came to a small entrance with a cozy looking restaurant and right away I was charmed. Prompt service with a special caring flare, not the typical elegant coldness but a elegant friendliness with the true feeling of care. I ordered... More

Lunches: The restaurant has always a special lunch menu normally proposed with to select between 2 starters, 2 main dishes and a dessert. The proposed selections could be a special seasonal soup e.g. a fish carpaccio and on the mains you... More

I was already in several restaurants across Europe, but I can say that this restaurant is really something special and worth to go. True, it is in some way expensive but it was evident that food was really fresh and prepared in a special, delicious way. If you would like to impress your wife or girl, just go there.
