Parkhuus — Restaurant in Zurich

Swiss restaurants enjoy a unique feature. This is kept far more secret than the myth of „Banking Secrecy“ that was peddled to the world for eons: Avarice ! Being a local, I could write a book about the endless manifestations of this trait. Ranging from restaurateurs pointing out that the Federal norm for a Schnitzel is 110 grams, when informed that a microscope was needed to locate it in the plate, unpleasant grimacing when asked for another piece of bread and extra charges on the bill for another roll. Parkhuus today absolutely „Took the Biscuit“ for the most parsimonious serving I have seen in my entire life (BTW spent as an exec in the Travel & Hospitality business) . Combine this with completely ludicrously outrageous prices (27 francs for a bowl of vegetable soup , 59 Francs for a 60gram piece of beef surrounded by 5 Gnocchi etc. etc.) The staff must be commended for bravely trying to keep from bursting out laughing as they place the Lilliput helpings in front of the guests. There were three of us and all five dishes ordered conformed to the same „Micro“ Standards and „Macro“ prices even by our well-known high prices. I would suggest using the location for a „Hidden Camera“ site, to document the disbelief on guests faces ,when they get to see the „largesse“ of the kitchen or to rebrand it as a Fast(ing) Food...

The five-star Parkhuus restaurant is located in Zurich, Switzerland. It is situated in a charming old structure that is visually appealing. Extraordinary cuisine is served. All the Swiss and international dishes on the menu are prepared with premium, freshly sourced ingredients. The Parkhuus special, a three-course meal consisting of soup or salad, a main course, and dessert, is something I enthusiastically endorse.

I would enthusiastically endorse Parkhuus to any individual seeking an exceptional...

Wow! As a Zürcher i always walked by but thought to not go as it is too touristy. I read about the chef and decided to treat myself and try it out. Ingredients, flavors and dishes were incredible. Starting with crisp, light, slightly asian and continuing with heavier flavors like pigeon was amazing. Everything was very well balanced.

The chef (Tarik Lange) is a gem and will soon be “bought” elsewhere. In Zurich there are many young, experiential chefs at the moment but they do not have the delicate vision and precision as Tarik has.

What did bother me is the lack of ambience. A very old-school American type of interior (hyatt) with fake candles and staff wearing black suits from 1932. Make it sexy people!! This food is worth more then a corporate buying a good chef.

Re-design the restaurant, new uniforms, new music and you have a restaurant which will be full...
