The Kronenhalle is an institution in Zurich, and if you get a table at the window next to the entrance, you know you have made it! The Zurich Geschnetzeltes is legendary, and so is the beef from the trolley. You do not need to be an art buff to recognise some of the famous paintings, and all the beautiful people... More

I hosted a dinner for bank executives at Kronenhalle. We were a large party who obviously would spen a lot. The waitstaff, who are reasonably professional, were cool and matter of fact; impatient that some of us non-Swiss had a hard time understanding the menu. The environment is old world and charming but also quite crowded and noisy. The food... More

Stumbled upon this restaurant after checking into the Helmhaus hotel a few blocks away and wanted a fortifying lunch after a long drive. Hadn't realized this restaurant had such a long history as one of the power lunch destinations in Zurich. Beautiful dark wood and green interior with walls covered in original old masters art. I was kicking myself that... More

I was flying home after a week-end in Konstanz.I asked the hotel where I could go for a typical Swiss meal in Zurich,and this is where I was recommended. It is a very old building with lots of art on the wall.It has a very traditional feel to it.The waiters are in white jackets while the waitresses are in black.... More

In these days of fast food and slick ambience, this classic dining spot in Zurich is a refreshing change. The kitchen is excellent, preparing classic Swiss and French dishes. The tempo is relaxed,the service is highly professional and cordial, The surroundings are warm and beautiful. The paintings in the dining area are masterworks. We sat facing an incredible Chagall.

This restaurant was recommended in a guide as an authentic Zurich dining experience. Very disappointing and a tourist trap at exorbitant prices for mediocre food. Downstairs looks very attractive, but upstairs' décor was nothing very special. As we are Swiss, we may be biased, but the rösti was no better than the one you can buy in a packet. My... More

This is a posh restaurant with Picasso, Monet, and others hanging on the wall. A place that you have to experience the special dinner with the superb service it offers. I am a big fan of Zürcher Geschnetzeltes but I wanted to try the other Classic menu here: Café de Paris. The Entrecôte arrived on my table in a generous... More

If you haven't been here, you haven't completely experienced Zürich. If there were ever such a thing as an authentic Swiss Brasserie, then this would be the place in all its glory! This dining institution, is part of the fabric of Zürich and quite representative of the elevated qualities that Switzerland is known to offer gastronomically. Be it the "Emincé... More
