This is a very famous restaurant in Zurich.
There were few people at the entrance, so I thought it was just a casual restaurant, but later I found out it was quite famous.
The onion soup and the main course were not very impressive, but the desserts after the meal were chestnut cake and Tirami Su. The desserts were really rich, especially the chestnut cake, which was not only sweet, but also had a light wine aroma. I dare say this is one of the best desserts, and you must try it if you have the chance to go to Zurich.
After a walk on Bahnhofstrasse, I checked in at the Armory Cellar Restaurant, which was built in 1487. The meat was very good, delicate and dense, and the sauce was amazing. The Internet celebrity restaurant [snickering] The food is really OK in Europe [sad] The quantity is large. I also drank the recommended local drinks [not simple]. The boss is very nice, an old man, and he came over to chat with us [haha]

This local culinary icon serves tempting cheese fondue

The local specialty food, cheese hotpot, is served with bread crackers, but I also added eggs and other things. It tastes very good, and the business is very hot. The outdoor seats at the door are also full.
For a visitor who had never tried cheese fondue, it was a very special experience and the food was great

The plump and juicy grilled sausage is a truly satisfying bite
Verified user reviews
The owner of this sausage shop in Zurich's Stirnen Orange Shop has opened three or four chain stores in the local area. There are many types of sausages sold in it, but the price is also relatively cost-effective. I recommend that you must try the double stone cheese sausage in this store, which feels particularly delicious.
Meat lovers can try this restaurant. Their meat is particularly fresh. Due to the good business, you don’t have to worry about eating leftover meat. The meat is also very chewy when you chew it in your mouth.

We go to Royal Panda regularly. The food and service are always great. As a side effect, it is getting busier and busier, especially this time of year, so the restaurant was packed.
Excellent service, delicious meal. The dumplings were tasty and different. The papaya salad was an authentic fresh spicy bowl of goodness, and the chicken was crispy without being oily. I HIGHY RECOMMEND. (A word to all visitors from America) Chinese food is different here and more expensive, so just be prepared. I have tried many in Zürich (I am a New Yorker) and this place is the closest I have found to home.)

Winner of international food awards, this Swiss cuisine is truly unforgettable
Verified user reviews
It's a very simple fast food restaurant. The dishes there are quite creative and delicious. The bread-like dish is delicious, probably a local dish. The juice is delicious, made from a local plum fruit.
The smoked salmon and Italian veal in this restaurant are very good. The store is not very big. The environment is very good. The steak tastes good too.

Verified user reviews
For my first dinner in Switzerland (it would be supper in China [covering face][covering face]), I found a restaurant ranked second in reviews - Le Dezaley's cheese hot pot is definitely ranked first, haha, I like beef liver and steak. In addition to authentic cheese hot pot and sweet bread, there is also wine brewed from the Dezaley region. Although it is relatively expensive, it is really worth it!
The taste is pure and unique, the environment is clean, and the service is thoughtful and meticulous

First-class Swiss cuisine in a historic 14th-century building
Verified user reviews
A restaurant that is very popular among Zurich locals, located on the square of the Frauenkirche (Münsterhof), has a history of more than 700 years.
This was once the home of the private doctor of the Frauenkirche convent. Later, he sold the building to the Linen Weavers Guild, one of the seven oldest guilds in Zurich. Today, some weaving scenes can still be seen on the stained glass windows of the restaurant.
The owner of the restaurant, Sepp Wimmer, took me to visit each floor. The dense badges on the wall were the symbols of the guild members. The left side was the time when the company was founded, and the back was the time when he joined the guild. The fountain on the square is also his magic for holding events: "I can make the fountain spray out fine wine and fill the entire pool."
I still ordered my favorite Zurich veal (Zürcher Geschnetzeltes). Unlike many other restaurants that are used to slicing or shredding beef, the beef in this restaurant is cut into large pieces, the meat is more tender, and the potato cakes are thicker. In addition, pan-fried duck liver with cherry port wine sauce is also a specialty here.
This restaurant is located in the old city. It is not big but has a long history. It is also very close to the city government. The restaurant's red wine steak is very good and the dishes are quite rich. It is typical that the store is very low-key and the taste is very surprising.

Great fondue - a must for a Swiss holiday. Highly recommend having the pear/pineapple on the side to add some acidity to the fondue
The restaurant has a warm and comfortable atmosphere, the dishes are quite creative, and the cheese hot pot is worth tasting

There are both cheap and expensive dishes, and there is also lobster, but the click rate is relatively low, so it is not fresh enough. The fried potatoes are well made as a staple food. The dessert after the meal is super sweet and a bit greasy.
