OKO — Restaurant in Zurich

We visited the café around 3 PM hoping to have lunch and some coffee. We had checked the menu and opening hours beforehand, but when we arrived, we were told that the kitchen was already closed for the rest of the day. That was quite disappointing, as we were hungry and looking forward to trying the food. We ended up just having coffee, which was very good.

The place itself is lovely — the interior is cozy and inviting, and the baristas were really friendly and welcoming. I asked about the kitchen hours, since there’s no information online (website or Instagram), but the staff couldn’t give a clear answer either. They said it depends on the day or situation.

I really enjoyed the atmosphere and would love to come back, but it would be great to have clear kitchen hours so guests can plan accordingly. Other than that,...

I was a bit disappointed with the visit. The place looks really nice, the interior design is cool, but the food was very disappointing. Miso Egg Benedict was just eggs on bread, swimming in bland sauce with barely visible ham sprinkles on top, no greens. My partner ordered a salmon and it looked like someone just took it out of the store bought pack and put it on a plate with a tiny amount of dry bread.

Coffee was okay. Matcha latte was a super small portion, half of the size of what you usually get, but for a full price.

We also waited quite a long for our orders to be taken, at one point I thought that maybe we should order by the bar and asked and just after that we got our order taken.

There are a lot of other great places for brunch in Zurich, so I am not sure I am coming back. I felt like it's not...

I was honestly very disappointed with my visit. The kitchen closed quite early, which is totally understandable, I may have missed a note about the closing time. So instead of food I grabbed an iced matcha latte instead, but it was by far the worst I’ve ever had. It tasted like milk with just a hint of matcha flavor. It was definitely not how matcha is supposed to be prepared (by whisking powdered green tea with water). It seemed like some pre-made powder was simply dissolved in milk. The taste was awfully bad I couldn’t finish it and had to toss it after a few sips. This cafe is all over social media but I have to say it is extremely overrated. You don’t get anything but the aesthetics. The service also wasn’t the best. The food might be better as I haven’t tried it yet. But the matcha latte was...
