"Had a fantastic experience at El Alebrije tonight and am actually somewhat surprised by some of the reviews I read as I went to post this. As a Californian who has been in Europe for a month, I was craving some comfort food and really was satisfied by the Mexican cuisine at El Alebrije. The jalapeno margarita was on point, the flautas were on par with what I would expect from a local food truck at home (a good thing! and the pescado was well seasoned (and the owner Miguel was incredibly kind and brought me homemade blue corn tortillas to make the plate my own . I also really appreciated the trio of salsas reminded me of my fave taqueria in SF and each salsa had a truly different flavor profile and level of spice. They also all paired nicely with the dishes, which isn 't always the case with a salsa bar. For what it 's worth, I had the opposite experience of many of the other commenters and felt that service was more than adequate my order was taken immediately, menu choices were described clearly even with a language barrier, I was checked on multiple times, and I didn 't have to wait at all for a second drink order or to get the bill. Maybe it 's because I 've been in some more relaxed parts of Europe for the past month, but this was by far the most attentive service I 've had in weeks. The vibe is good, ambiance trendy and it felt like a less explored neighborhood of Zurich would absolutely recommend. For any Americans out there, it isn 't going to be your classic huge menu Tex Mex fajitas a la Chuy 's or Cozymel 's (nor is it purporting to be! , but it is going to be similar to what you 'd get at an authentic Oaxacan place in NYC or LA."

"Frustriert kam das Essen kalt an und das Schlimmste, was ich nach Gemüsenudeln und Hühnchen fragte, und das Hühnchen kam nicht an, tatsächlich gab es nur zwei winzige Teile Hühnerhaut. Wenn sie im Restaurant anrufen, sagen sie mir: Es gibt nur einen Kunden, der kein Huhn mag, also fügen wir nur ein wenig hinzu. Es war die schlechteste Antwort, die ich je gehört habe. Es wäre nicht einfacher zu sagen, dass es sich um ein vegetarisches Gericht handelt. Ich werde nie wieder darum bitten, den Ort zu betreten"

"My husband and I stayed at the Hotel Coronado in Zurich. After fretting over where to eat dinner (yelp was not much help), we decided to walk through the park across from the hotel. We came upon Neubuhl, and upon reviewing the menu (German, Swiss, and Italian light dishes) we decided to stay. The evening was still sunny and warm, so we took outdoor seating (it's the smoking section). The view of the park is amazing; we forgot we were in a busy city. I chose the Swiss weissbier, and my husband chose a lager. Both delicious (6.5 f). For meals, he had the veal schnitzel with spinach salad at 32 f, and I had their daily special of butter poached flounder with almond crust, rice pilaf, and spinach salad at 36 f. Both dishes were cooked to perfection. The prices were very reasonable compared to other similar dishes at other restaurants we were scoping out. We went at 6 pm on a Weds night, and it wasn't very crowded. A perfect evening!"

"Large portions, slow service had to wait over an hour for the main course. Tasteless noodles had to search for the vegetable. My son had sushi to start with, which was not too bad. Had to sit on uncomfortable bench table, with other people . Wine was really cheap table wine for chf 9.50 . Toilets smelt. It was meant to be a quick bite after the Cinema, which ended up being an 90 minutes. All round not up to normal Swiss standards."

Dinner is from menu and portions are really big. Dessert with beans and coconut milk was amazing (especially because it looked weird . Pad Si Iew was delicious! Papaya salad was not as good as in Thailand but very refreshing nevertheless. Lunch is unbelievable! For 20.50 chf (without drinks you have all you can eat!"

"Pizza restaurant where you simply sit down and food will come to you : pizza is thin, crunchy and delicious, ingredients are fresh and the salad that is brought to the table is also a great side dish. They bring plenty of vegan, vegetarian and meat lovers pizzas, so there is for everybody. I also appreciated that they do not butcher the tradition (no pineapple indeed! but they still offer a lot of different combinations of ingredients so it’s not only the classic variations. A bit pricey but so tasty, I will definitely go back! Also the staff was lovely :"

"I tried this restaurant with a friend and can really recommend it to anyone for its great food and good service: if you want to have a taste of Japan, here's your place. We ordered assorted sashimi, unagi and ebi tempura: all was excellent. They have a very good and varied menu, next time I will try sukiyaki which you don't find very often on Zurich! Only two minutes away from the HB central station, it can be easily reached from anyone in Zurich."

"I am very sorry to give only 2 stars to the Ornellaia restaurant, but service doesn't match it's level. 30 minutes seating with no wine or water to be served, stuff was busy talking. No personal attention talking to guests, the lady was checking something else talking to us, would be good to concert on eye contact with person you are talking. Good class was missing."

"Talacker serves very delicious thai asian food. The quality of the food is outstanding! And the service is very friendly. The Between 12 and 1pm it get‘s pretty crowded, so you either call them in advance or be early. For business lunches it might be a bit to lean back, but that depends on your style... I prefer the Miso Noodle Soup, but their lunch menues are great as well. Espresso is ok, but the chocolate brownie is great at the side. I love this place!"

"Ah, a culinary adventure with a difference! Imagine, we ventured into the realm of gastronomy twice. The first time, in the summer garden idyll, the food was quite passable the dim sum held up well, but the main courses seemed to have completed a swimming course in the oil pool. On the second visit, oh dear, the kitchen seemed to have put a little more effort into it, but we were light years away from culinary fireworks. The rice? Well, let's say he could have used a little more spirit. But wait, it gets even “better”: the smell of the kitchen! Imagine a mist of eau de frye enveloped us, so intense that we quickly crossed dessert off the agenda. Back home, we all felt like we had done an honorable service at the frying basket. At prices like that? A culinary foul that has seen us for the last time. It's a shame, but our olfactory well being thanks us. Farewell, scented veil restaurant, farewell!"

"Prices beyond good and evil... ~68 CHF for 340 gr of veal WITHOUT a side dish nice price increase, 2 years ago it was somewhere around ~63 CHF... and then they reduced the amount of meat... limited reservation time, gruff but attentive and fast waiters and the ambience isn't really the real deal either... food very good and really great variations, price performance ratio 1/5... the location isn't so central that you could somehow justify it... when I spent almost 100 CHF for ~340 gr of meat, 1 side dish and 2 beers (WITHOUT an appetizer, coffee or dessert! , then I want you to blow me away not only in terms of taste but also with the ambience and service. 3 stars because I'm in a good mood. Still, never again!"

"Nice location, great food quality, nice staff, all good or more than that: special. But hey: CHF 110 for 2 people for the following: A (very nice) small cheese and ham plate, müsli and (one) portion of (very nice) tartar (for two) A (very nice) toast with egg, salmon and a great sauce A (very nice) waffle with vanilla ice Together with coffee (not included in the 55/person) and some tip we paid 140 CHF. So why all this was quite nice and you do have a great location and team: some ham and cheese, a salmon toast and a waffle coffee for 140 CHF for 2 people is simply too much for what it is. It may also be a good idea to offer like a glass of orange juice, prosecco or just bluntly; coffee as INCLUDED, surely some guests will find that appropriate. We will come for a dinner for sure and hope for a more reasonable price/performance there. Congrats to a great team! p.s.: One did not feel overly much of a Michelin 1 Star in the brunch, but guess that was not the goal an I agree cannot be accepted for 55/person"

"The place is cool, good atmosphere, design, art. But the food was so, so bad. We were given sharing platters for each table, but so small that we had to cut the eggplant wedges in small pieces because there wasn't even one per person. Another dish was just a cooked pumpkin with some sauerkraut on top. The fried cheese was almost cold. They asked us if we wanted more food but we said no even though we were still hungry, because it was so tasteless and uninteresting. The chocolate cake with liquid core was great, but why mandarin ice cream with chocolate? Finally, we arrived at 6.30 and the third course (dessert) was served at 10. Sorry guys. I might come again for drinks or to work, but I won't even dare trying the food again."

"There were six of us at Restaurant Kle for dinner and we paid around CHF 1,000 for the 3 or 4-course menu with accompanying wine. After that we left hungry. The amuse bouche consisted of half-baked rolls that were doused with oil, plus there was a mini bowl of pickled vegetables, a red tomato paste, hummus pureed beyond recognition and mayonnaise. I didn't find it very pleasant to smear mayonnaise on a warm, undercooked roll. The starter was a kind of large cracker topped with beetroot slices that actually tasted very good and was the only dish that had an appealing texture. This was followed by the main course which consisted of two small, halved carrots with an undefinable jus and a spoonful of undefinable puree. As far as I understand it, two half small carrots are not a main course, they are not even a side dish but at best a garnish. When I first saw this plate, I thought it was a joke. But no... The dessert at the end was a spoonful of chocolate mousse with a spoonful of peppermint ice cream, doused with peppermint oil. The chocolate mousse was too firm, the peppermint ice cream slightly watery. I can't say anything about the taste, as the intense peppermint oil killed any other aroma. Overall, neither the aromas nor the textures were convincing in the whole menu. The mini portions reminded me of 80's nouvelle cuisine. When it comes to nutrition, you feel like you've been transported back in time: This cuisine offers far too little protein and vitamins. There's a lack of freshness, there's no crunch, it's all too soft, too musty, too one-dimensional. The expert service and the interesting wines, which were well explained, remain positive memories. Unfortunately, the ratio of price to performance does not fit at all. Ultimately, I expect a convincing culinary experience from a restaurant of this quality and I don't want to go home hungry and have to make myself a few more sandwiches. For us it was the first and probably last visit to the Kle. Pity!"

"I was there three weeks ago. While pouring the sauce over my lobster, the waiter emptied it all over my torso and pants. We're talking about 300ml of hot, fatty sauce. Everything from the left breast down to the waistband of the pants was full. From that moment on, the evening was over for us. We actually wanted to move on after dinner, but that was no longer possible. How did the restaurant accommodate me? The waiter offered to have the shirt cleaned, which I declined because it would be less hassle for me to just throw my shirt in my own washing machine instead of having to go back and forth to the restaurant and then back and forth again to be picked up . So wouldn't really have been better for me. Afterwards the waiter just offered me the aperitifs. Those were two sparsely filled glasses. In my opinion, far too little for what was done to me. The two of us ended up leaving over CHF 380 for a ruined evening. What I would like to add: The restaurant's toilet was the worst and most disgusting one I have ever experienced in Switzerland. The whole floor was sticky and not a single toilet had any toilet paper. A toilet was full. Apparently they invest far too little in cleaning staff. The food tasted good, especially the lobster. My starter, fish soup, was rather mediocre. I've had much better ones in much cheaper restaurants in Portugal or Greece. For example, these were nice and creamy and the fish pieces in them were very tender, literally melted in your mouth. But here it felt like it was just bouillon with a few dry pieces of fish in it."

"We went to Barranco on a Friday night and I ate my way through the vegan half of the menu, tasting all four vegan mains and the vegan dessert. I especially enjoyed the “Esparragos” (fermented and grilled asparagus) and the “Camote Umami” (sweet potato). Unfortunately, the portions somehow kept getting smaller and smaller. Only the non-veg salmon ceviche and pork belly looked like actual (but still undersized) mains. Don’t get me wrong: the food was very tasty, the dishes were elaborate and the seasoning was on point. However, we felt like we were paying almost fine dining prices, for fine dining portion sizes (100-150kcal per vegan menu item I reckon, sometimes less), for below average service and a mediocre experience. We spent half the meal discussing where we would order pizza later and left hungry, despite paying over CHF 220 and tasting almost all dishes the restaurant had to offer."

"Schreiben wir nicht über das Essen. Ich fand meinen Fisch Chu Chi Pla wunderbar, exotisch, scharf, gut. Meine Thai Begleitung hat ihr Pad Thai Gung schon besser gegessen. Aber eben in der asiatischen Küche gibt es viele Rezepte und viele Vorlieben.Was nicht geht, ist das Angebot, wenn man Mineralwasser bestellt. Es ist eine Unsitte in Zürich geworden, das schon horror teure Wasser selber zu machen, Soda Stream macht es möglich. So auch im Five Spice. Aber die meisten Restaurants bieten, für einige Franken mehr, auch Flaschen an. Perrier, Evian, Passugger, Henniez wie sie alle heissen.Aber nicht im Five Spice.Da gibt es nur das eigene Wasser, ein 3 dl Glas kostet 4 Franken! Es sieht aus, wie wenn man beim Zahnarzt den Mund spült.So geht es nicht. Man bietet das ganze auch noch in der 1 Liter Karaffe an. Der Krug geht zum Brunnen, bis er bricht."

"It was our first day in Zurich and we were looking for a halal place nearby. Ali Baba was the closest so we gave it a shot. The restaurant has an interesting mix of Turkish and Bangladeshi food options plus pizzas. We tried Kebab sandwich and pizza and found both very tasteful. The restaurant also had different curry and rice options but we didn’t try those. It’s a nice little place with good food but nothing special that compels one to visit Ali Baba."

"A typical Swiss place for many years, it is very popular, and offers classic street food such as servelat or white bratwusts, a kind of giant sausage but made with quality cuts of pork, unlike the scraps that are used for frankfurters. They are delicious, I've been eating them since I was born because a relative always brings them to me from Liechtenstein. The place is small but has an upper floor, with a few small tables underneath where the turnover of customers is very fast, let's say an environment really like a street sandwich shop. The right environment to have a quick beer and have a chat. When you order food such as servila, everything is given to you directly at the cash register, then you take the self-service bread and do the same with the sauces, let's say everything is simple. Maybe it's because I'm used to Italian prices, but 9 francs for a servant is the base and it seems expensive to me, but it's in line with the prices of all the places here, so nothing unusual. It's a very simple place like it used to be, and I really like it."
