Didi's Frieden — Restaurant in Zurich

I have travelled the world extensively over 40 years. I ate at all restaurants ranging from pop & mom’s to Michelin three stars. This is my honest review of the restaurant Didi’s Frieden in Zurich close to main train station (Hauptbahnhof). Here’s a review based on your experience: I started with a tuna amuse-bouche that was interesting but didn’t quite awaken the palate as I’d expect. The beef tartare that followed was a bit too strong, with spices overpowering the other flavors. Then came the highlight: delicious mezzalunos—beef sirloin ravioli with a light espuma filling that was truly exceptional. I continued with a cordon bleu and spätzli, which were good but nothing extraordinary. I also had a chocolate cake with mango sauce and pieces of mango as finish; it was interesting, though ultimately quite simple, but at least it was delicious.

I’ll definitely be back, maybe even for my...

Everything was perfect and beyond expectation. We did not know what to expect, but right as we sat down, Dominic came over and explained to us what the menu items were and he was so impeccably friendly that we felt so comfortable right away.

I ordered the salmon with saffron sour cream for a starter and the meatloaf as my main. Both of the dishes were delicious. My partner has the ravioili and cordon Bleu, which were amazing as well.

The food was really on point, but what made our experience better was the super friendly service from Dominic. 10/10 for the food and 15/10 for the service. Will definitely visit again on my next...
