Bodega Baden — Restaurant in Baden

One of the most welcoming and friendly restaurants I have ever had the pleasure of having a meal at and several more to come while visiting Switzerland. It didn't feel like you were eating at restaurant it felt like you were invited over to a good friends home for a proper homcooked meal made with love and all the best ingredients. The atmosphere was extremely cozy and not overwhelming. Was given the tour of the restaurant, kitchen, and upper dinning rooms giving stories on the history and hardships that they had to face along the way to make this master piece a reality ( and it is as real as it get). It is true a hidden gem amongst the streets of Baden, Switzerland and if I every get the chance to make it back I'll be showing up the as soon as I land to get the most delicious meals. Any request that we discussed ahead of our reservation was meet and beyond to a level no other restaurant could hope to achieve. I've read the negative reviews and from what I can see from them are people who are not there for the experience and understand smaller restaurants run into some hardships along the way. I would recommend anyone in Baden that hasn't had the pleasure of their service and cooking to take an evening and enjoy some of the best tasking and beat pricing on meals that I have seen. Love the cook, the hostesses, the owner, I love everything about the place. 10/10...

The service was okay and friendly, the ambiente very cozy. A reservation is needed since the restaurant only offers a couple of tables. We were sitting at the upper bar which was okay.

We orderd tapas to share. The food was quite okay and prices in line.

The only thing I didn't like was the smell of my clothes when I walked out. I didn't eat any deep-fried dishes but smelled like one afterwards.

I would still recommend this place. I had a great evening with a...

Enttäuschende Erfahrung

Unser Besuch in der Bodega war leider eine einzige Enttäuschung. Die Tapas waren nicht nur überteuert, sondern auch qualitativ nicht überzeugend. Besonders ärgerlich war die lange Wartezeit auf die Rindfleischwürfel, die erst serviert wurden, nachdem wir bereits fertig gegessen hatten. Da sie zudem zäh und ungenießbar waren, haben wir sie zurückgegeben.

Ein weiteres Ärgernis: Auf der Rechnung wurden zusätzliche Brötchen berechnet – das erste ist zwar im Preis inbegriffen, doch jedes weitere kostet CHF 1.50. Eine solche Praxis sollte zumindest klar und deutlich kommuniziert werden, damit keine unerwarteten Zusatzkosten entstehen. Auch beim Wein lief es nicht rund – wir mussten nachbestellen, weil das Personal offenbar nicht aufmerksam genug war.

Das Servicepersonal selbst hinterließ einen äußerst negativen Eindruck: arrogant, unfreundlich und wenig kundenorientiert. Wie die anderen Gäste ihren Besuch erlebt haben, können wir nicht beurteilen, aber die Bodega hat ihren alten Charme verloren. Kein Wunder, dass die Stammgäste längst das Weite gesucht haben.

Fazit: Leider keine Empfehlung – hier stimmt gar...
