Read moreMy partner took me here for my wonderful birthday dinner. As we entered the staff were very welcoming. It was nice to see that they were actually laughing with the guests making the place feel quite homey.
We decided to order individual dishes instead of going with the tasting menu. The delicious pretzels were served with butter and a cheese spread, that - in a good way - reminded me of filthy cinema nacho cheese on steroids. The chicken liver was fantastic too and served with fermented walnuts, which was something neither of us had tasted before. We loved it!
Next came the beef bone marrow. The dish itself was good, however the sauce was quite acidic, which I felt took away from the comforting taste of the bone marrow.
The savoy strudel was great!
The suckling pig was a disappointing dish. So over salted even the inside meat made us fear for our kidneys and the sides served were rather underwhelming too, especially after having started on such a great foot. After we complained about this they were gracious enough to remove the dish from our bill, which we had not expected.
For dessert we went for the Bavarian yeast pastry served with impeccable vanilla ice cream and custard - another great dish.
As it was my birthday they had prepared a luxurious chocolate cake. We were too full to finish it by the end but is was truly delightful.
Before leaving my partner visited the men's lavatories, only to find a small bowl of condoms next to the sink. This certainly made for a good laugh as we left.
To summerise: I liked this place a lot - the staff was kind and gracious and upheld a lovely homey and cosy environment throughout our experience. Our main dish had clearly been over seasoned and we highly appreciated the way this was handled.
We will definitely be...
Read moreVery cost restaurant beneath my favorite place in Zurich, the Lindenhof. Super cosy interior with some smart seating and super warm walnut coloured tables which are super flexible while arrange the seating. Someone thought it through.
The food was good to very good depending on the dishes. One could see that with Sebastian Rösch a former one star chef is on the handles. My personal highlight was definitely the Zander (pikeperch) with kimchi beurre blanc. Super creative dish.
The speciality of the house, the Brotzeit at the beginning, was a little disappointing. While all the dishes were really well seasoned the beef tartare tasted like nothing and also small nibbles where just so so. The brezl was incredibly good.
We didnt like the desserts at Mesa before so our expectations were pretty low but the dessert was also really good.
Wine pairing was a little off. For the sweet 20 year old Port the cheese was too weak and often the wine and the food werent in the right balance. Also very obvious with the second dish where the roebuck terrine was overpowering the riesling that you just drank flavored grape water. I hope they work on this.
Nevertheless the experience was almost like in a one star restaurant and i would absolutely recommend this restaurant to everybody. The complaints are on a...
