Reviews
A very nice restaurant, just a few minutes walk from the tram stop, with excellent service, always attentive and professional. The food was fantastic and of a very high standard! The dishes were perfectly balanced and prepared with local produce. Chef Tarik is very friendly and competent. Many thanks to him and all the team for a successful evening!
Much as I like to encourage education, after last night's dinner at Le Berceau des Sens, I would only recommend it if your child was a student there. First, once we got to the EHL building, there was very little signage for the restaurant was very difficult to find until someone took pity on us and guided us there. (Hint: it's on the 3rd floor, good luck finding the right elevator.) Once there, it was hugely disappointing, especially given the Michelin and Gault Millau accolades. Nice and eager to do the correct thing as the students were, the service was just terrible, and the apprentice staff were clearly very poorly managed. Once seated, it took at least 20 minutes to get a menu; the sommelière-in-training kept forgetting which wine we ordered. Our entrees arrived nearly an hour after we sat down. On finding that a server had given us the wrong tableware for the dishes, they whisked it away and we could see several conferring for 10 minutes to figure out which we were to have. After the entree, the main dishes took another 45 minutes, despite our asking several students and finally the man who seemed to be the manager what the problem was. No one spontaneously checked in with us about the long delays. There was a constant crowd of servers walking to and fro, but with little productivity to show for it.
The food, once it came, was visually appealing, but the flavor mediocre. (I've never seen dry foie gras before, I don't even know how that's possible.)
It really seemed as though no one had bothered with practice sessions for these young people before throwing them into the dining room. It looked as though they were learning on the spot. Not only did we end up feeling we were the lab rats, but had to pay a lot for the experience. I'm really sorry to dump in the students, I think the blame goes to the teachers/managers. It was quite a waste of time and money.

For any foodie, The Restaurant at The Dolder Grand in Zurich is an absolute must-visit. An enchanting ambiance permeates the establishment, complemented by flawless service and delectable fare.
Having dined at The Restaurant not too long ago, I must say that I was thoroughly impressed with each facet of the experience. All of the inventive and delectable dishes on the menu are prepared with the highest quality ingredients. The scallops that I began with, accompanied by black truffle risotto, were seasoned and cooked to perfection. The roasted pigeon with foie gras and black truffle sauce that I ordered for my main course was simply divine. Complementing the perfectly cooked pigeon with black truffle and foie gras sauce was an indulgent and delectable experience.
Additionally, The Restaurant offers exceptional service. They are knowledgeable and attentive, and they make every effort to ensure that your dining experience is memorable. I was especially impressed by the sommelier's assistance in choosing the ideal wine to complement my meal.
Similarly, the ambiance at The Restaurant is enchanting. In addition to its exquisite decor, the restaurant offers breathtaking vistas of Zurich. It is an ideal location for special occasions or for a memorable meal in and of itself.

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. Fish or meat is typically served as the entree, and the dessert is invariably delectable.
The service is exceptional at Parkhuus. They are courteous and vigilant and make every effort to ensure your dining experience is outstanding. Additionally, there is an extensive wine list, and the sommelier will gladly assist you in selecting the ideal wine to complement your meal.
I would enthusiastically endorse Parkhuus to any individual seeking an exceptional dining experience.

We had a lunch on Monday which is the first day for most students working in the restaurant. It was a great pleasure to watch stressed students making mistakes. I believe it is a part of the experience. The food is expected for a Michelin 1 start restaurant. I highly recommend Voile d'encornet. Actually I don‘t remember many details after 4 glasses of wind. The wind selection was so good.
We were here for a weding aniversary, the apero was amazing, the food was really tasty and the service from Pablo was unforgetable. I would recomend the restaurant to all the foodies and the people who like perfection.
Five out of five stars
ROSI is a hidden gem in Zurich that serves up some of the most delectable and authentic Swiss cuisine in the city. Nestled within a charming historical building, the restaurant exudes a warm and inviting atmosphere that is both cozy and refined. The décor is tasteful and understated, allowing the focus to remain on the exquisite culinary creations that emerge from the kitchen.
From the moment you step through the doors, you are greeted with genuine warmth and hospitality by the attentive staff. Their knowledge of the menu is impeccable, and they are always happy to offer recommendations based on your preferences.
The menu features a wide variety of traditional Swiss dishes, all prepared with the utmost care and attention to detail. The ingredients are sourced from local farmers and producers, ensuring that the dishes are not only flavorful but also sustainable.
I started with the Bündner Gerstensuppe (barley soup), a hearty and comforting dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. The soup was rich and flavorful, with a perfect balance of smokiness and sweetness.
For my main course, I had the Kalbsgeschnetzeltes (veal strips in a creamy mushroom sauce). The veal was melt-in-your-mouth tender, and the sauce was rich and flavorful. The accompanying Rösti (hash browns) were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
I also tried the Apfelstrudel (apple strudel) for dessert. The strudel was flaky and buttery, and the apples were sweet and tart. The vanilla ice cream was the perfect finishing touch.
Overall, I had an exceptional dining experience at ROSI. The food was exquisite, the service was impeccable, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a truly authentic Swiss dining experience.

Une découverte à recommander les yeux fermés. Superbe accueil dans le caveau puis immersion dans la cuisine de base végétale. Du végétal peu troublant pour les mangeurs de viande car gustativement, tout y est. Le dernier plat est servi de viande, excellente comme tout le reste du menu,une apothéose. Un délice pour les amoureux de nouvelles découvertes. Un 10 sur 10 assuré. Beaucoup de succès à cette équipe jeune, dynamique et très professionnelle. Merci pour ce beau moment.
During our visit to “The Restaurant” in Zurich, which boasts 2 Michelin stars and 19 points on Gault & Millau, we were deeply disappointed and felt the need to leave after only the second amuse-bouche. Here’s why:
1. Reservation Troubles: Upon our arrival, the staff took an astonishing 15-20 minutes to locate our reservation. Despite being assured during our check-in just a few hours earlier that our reservation was confirmed, we were told at the restaurant that no such reservation existed.
2. Allergy Mishaps: Ahead of our dining experience, we informed the reception of specific allergies around 45 minutes before our meal. We reiterated these allergies when we were first presented with the amuse-bouche, only to find two containing the very allergens we mentioned. When ordering, we once again emphasized the allergies, yet were shockingly served a second set of amuse-bouche containing these allergens. The risk to my health was undeniable, and I was unwilling to jeopardize our entire trip over potential oversight that could result in a hospital visit.
3. Staff Response: Throughout our interactions with the staff, including a discussion with the duty manager, we felt our concerns were taken lightly. It was as if no one grasped the gravity of serving food with allergens to someone with specific allergies.
In the end, we chose to cut our dinner short and leave. While the two glasses of champagne we had consumed were comped, the experience was unsettling and downright dangerous.
In a restaurant of such high calibre, one would expect meticulous attention to detail and utmost care for the well-being of their clients. Sadly, this was far from our experience at “The Restaurant”.

Great staff and fantastic food, truly a 1 Michelin star. Having been to other hospitality school restaurants this by far stands out.
You have to be patient and expect one or two tiny errors, but the professors clearly hold them to a high standard.
Quite value for money for sure

We stayed in one of the really nice suites at the castle, and had an amazing dining experience.
The food overall was amazing with lots of varying and exciting taste experiences. The castle itself is in a really nice, quiet, and picturesque location, and the staff is super friendly and attentive.

The service is thoughtful and good. The differently interpreted version of traditional dishes like cordon bleu and pork roast are interesting. The warm load of bread with butter is incredibly delish!
You have to try the “Caviar of the field”! Recommend to order one per person - its sooo good!
The perfect trilogy of fluffiness between truffle / parmesan & bread is the “Milk Bread”
For Drinks i really enjoyed the “Stachelbeer Spritz” and the “Rose marry me” with extra gin ;)

Wir haben unsere Hochzeitsfeier hier gefeiert und waren mehr als begeistert.
Unser Tisch war sehr ansprechend und liebevoll eingedeckt und wunderschön mit Blumen geschmückt.
Das Menü war ein absoluter Traum und der Wein perfekt darauf abgestimmt.
Es war ein wunderschöner Abend an dem einfach alles gepasst hat.
Vielen herzlichen Dank dafür

Kann man nur empfehlen!
It’s very hard to get a reservation, so organize yourselves in advance. But the experience is always lovely. This is an application restaurant, EhL students are cooking and serving you under the supervision’s of professionals and MoF. The food is always deliciously made and I always discover new products and pairing. Prepare your wallet! But the experience is worth it.
Kronenhalle is a restaurant with a lot of history and tradition. It is one of the last restaurants to still have a dress code for its guests. In addition, the restaurant has a very impressive art collection (art lovers should visit).
The food was of high quality, the meat was from local butchers and was of fine quality. It is noticeable that the waiters are well trained and try to give the customers a good experience. During full dinner service it took the waiters a bit long to get to us, which is understandable.
Despite the food being good it has to be said that there are other restaurants in the city that offer better quality of the individual dish for a lower price point. This fact and the high prices led to the reduction of one star.

Great dining experience from start to end. Amazing service, professionalism, attention to detail. Courses that are still full of surprises - which is not easy at this level for me personally, as I have been to many Michelin-starred restaurants. The wine list is rather short & young, but the Widder team compensate with the opportunity to bring your own wine at a fair price. Only caveat I found: some of us replaced one course in the 6-course menu with dishes from the ‘specials’ list. While we got told that it may be a bit more expensive depending on the course, they basically just reduced our menu to 5 courses and added the extra. That was not ok from my point of view, as some of us even replaced a main with a starter … they should have just been honest from the start. Again, all in all it was an amazing experience.
Wow! What a discovery! Amazing food, amazing service, amazing ambience! I would never have expected German food to be so delicious ☺️
This was one of the highlights of our holiday. What a fantastic place to stay. Don't hesitate, go there. You have fabulous rooms, even a small pool outside, and 2 fantastic restaurants (including the amazing 3* one) and a great bakery. Highly recommended.
I struggle putting my experience into words. The level of hospitality is unparalleled here. We had requested in advance a vegan experience and wow did they provided one! Never again did we have to mention it, the staff always knew, and the kitchen even went to great lengths making us special and different courses. A real benchmark for gastronomy. No wonder they are top 25 restaurants in the world. The meal itself at the castle lasted 5 hours. At no point did that seem too long, we enjoyed every moment of it. There were special menus printed for us. The food was hyper local and seasonal. No wonder they have a Michelin sustainability award as well as three stars. Amazing. The caliber of technique employed was at the level of innovation, but carefully studied and tested so that everything that made the plate was perfect. Not a single bad course. Who knew radish could taste like whitefish? Aubergine like lamb? Cauliflower like meatball? Simply amazing. The intensity of flavor in every dish and meticulous focus overall were outstanding. We also stayed the night at the Castle which was a real treat. The rooms was nicely outfitted. We had a view of the mountains, and it entitled us to the most unbelievable local and organic breakfast spread I’ve ever seen. All the bread was baked in-house. The coffee was roasted on-site. Once again they prepared some vegan items for us without even asking (avocado spread, hummus, specially pickled veg). The confit tomato and aubergine spreads were awesome. Service was gracious throughout. We also used and enjoyed the pool. There was an afternoon food buffet for guests. Chef Andreas himself greeted us on multiple occasions. Chef Caminada was so gracious and down to earth. He suggested we use the property’s bikes to go to the lake 3km away for a morning swim. We did; brilliant suggestion. In summary, the castle is an amazing fairytale experience where every moment is a perfect moment in a idyllic gastronomic village. Beyond the exceptional setting, every door that needed to be seemed unlocked (leading to sense of safety and openness) and hospitality was A+++ (they even drove us the train station in a brand new audi to end the whole experience). Next time we’ll be back for several days and eat in all the establishments (incl. Restaurant OZ which looks awesome too). We also had an opportunity to see the kitchen garden and tour the kitchen, which for me was really the cherry on top.
Outstanding food, new flavours and combinations, the business lunch was perfect. We started of with some small dishes and the main as the fish which I enjoyed a lot. The dishes had a familiar taste yet special. Paired with a non alcoholic proschetta drink 🍹 The dessert was super tasty. Everything was just amazing, definitely a Michelin restaurant.
Very classy, aristocratic atmosphere and seriously THE BEST service in Zurich. Our waitress was super attentive, super nice and definitely super beautiful 🥰 All the staff was wonderful, helpful and friendly starting from the hostess and all the personnel. Eye contact and you have their full attention which is (as we've discovered) rare in Zurich for a tourist.
The food was delicious, we had veal sausages with potato gratin, pudding and when I asked for a vegetarian option I got a plate of tasty grilled vegetables straight from the oven. The procedure of serving the food is very classy and beautiful, they bring everything in oven dishes and portion them in plates right next to you on a special serving table. We absolutely loved the experience and definitely be back once in Zurich. I can't recommend Kronenhalle enough for a true Swiss hospitality and experience!

They baked me a gluten free bread ! There was a coconut Chia pudding ! I love the food and staff was 1st class !
The vegan tasting menu for dinner here was utterly fantastic. Everything was beautifully prepared, delicious, and 100% plant-based. Great service and nice spot to sit outside. Two thumbs up!
Superb at all levels. We had a wonderful hotel stay - the rooms are fabulously designed (but a portable a/c unit would be welcome). The 3* lunch was fantastic. This was a highlight of our holidays.
Chef Stefan Heilemann really defined this amazing dinner. The Tartar and the Langousino were absolutely to die for. On top are the brilliant Ambiance and the very friendly staff. Highly recommend!
A must in Zurich if you enjoy fine dining. Kronenhalle was in my partner’s bucket list for so long and it was a pleasure to be fortunate enough to come with.
The food is memorable and the service very professional. One waiter is a character.
The only drawback is the amount of loud American tourists that visit this place.

War zu 3 hier und fand es richtig gut. Die gnocchi mit Gorgonzola sind hervorragend, hat mir sehr gut gefallen. Wie auch die Tapas,komme gerne mal wieder.
We had dinner here, the flavor is well balanced. Would love to come back next time.
Gorgeous dining room full of art from famous artists like Chagall, Picasso, Miro, and others. It’s like eating in a museum. My waiter was friendly, attentive and helpful, and shared a book about the art collection that was beautiful. Note that there is an unwritten dress code that is not on their website and the host who sat me seemed offended by my sneakers. The wine by the glass menu is lacking which was disappointing
Atmosphere: amazing, we really enjoyed sitting in the garden
Service: good, but nobody was knowledgeable about the wine on the menu
Water: overpriced
Food: overpriced. Cordon bleu was the biggest disappointment as it tasted like breaded mozzarella. The main course was tiny. The starters were good but not mind blowing. I really enjoyed the dessert, but it again was rather simple and small :/

Astonishing experience. Superb food, beautiful and relaxing dinning room with views to the lake, impeccable service. Such a delight.
30 min waiting for bread, 45 min wait for one appetiser, 90 min wait for the main dish (steak) that never came…so we left. Not to mention that the staff did not even care of the poor experience they were delivering. Total disaster, never to try it ever again! In a city full of great restaurants, to waste time for such poor service with very high prices makes no sence.
A must go!
The service was amazing and my server was a delight! I regret not asking for his name as his aura and entire demeanor was nothing short of a friend.
He shared with me the history behind the restaurant and I also got to look at beautiful artworks from Picasso, Doesburg/Schwitters , Giacometti & Chagall!
He left me with small souvenirs to take back home with me. I will truly remember this moment! Not only was the food prepared to perfection from wine, appetizer to dessert, the experience was everything you’d hope for if you’re a food/art aficionado.
If you want to eat beautifully cooked food & gaze at original artworks, this is the place to go!

Dinner with Picasso.
If you are visiting Zurich, are a fan of fine dining and it's a special occasion, this is a place not to be missed. Having dinner with some of the finest artists around the world is truly an experience. Note the dress code is fine dining so you won't be overdressed in a suit and tie. Reservations are booked out months in advance so plan accordingly.

Since 2012, have been many times is my favorite restaurant and stop over place onward to Italy from Switzerland.
Super feines Dinner und sehr freundlicher speditiver Service… preislich eher hoch aber es ist der Preis wert… wir kommen wieder..
The staff could not have been more friendly! They spoke perfect English to explain all the meals - some of the best vegetarian dishes we’ve had! Definitely recommend tasting menu
Our six course dinner (not counting the numerous complementary amuse-bouches) with a visual and gustatory delight. The Asian-inspired nouvelle cuisine is an unforgettable experience. You can choose between six or eight course meals, either non-vegetarian or vegetarian. Optional vine pairing. Highly professional staff.
This is my third or fourth visit, and I had a generally positive experience, but this time there were a few issues that detracted from the overall enjoyment. Firstly, the staff brought out an assortment of bread (three types) and a special butter without explaining anything. I had to ask another server to identify the bread, and even then, the taste was underwhelming. When I selected the full menu, I was offered the option to substitute my monkfish with the famous sea bass with caviar. Although I accepted the offer, the staff did not inform me of the additional cost, which I only found out when I received the final bill. While I declined to have my menu paired with wine, I ordered two glasses of wine from the sommelier, trusting that they would recommend reasonably priced options as it came from "open bottles". However, the cost was absurd. Overall, the menu was acceptable but it did not exceed my expectations. While I understand that Pic enjoys experimenting with contrasting flavors, some dishes did not seem to balance well with the various ingredients. Lastly, I was grateful to receive a delightful little cake in honor of my birthday, which was a thoughtful touch.
Wir waren zu dritt und können nur positives mitnehmen 👍🏻 Über den Service und das feine Essen: besten Dank
What I don't expect from a restaurant anymore is to surprise me.
And this restaurant did. Beautifully.
The flavours were balanced, ingredients fresh. It was sheer pleasure and I can't wait to visit again.

The morchels are the star. A vegetarian Michelin concept which doesn't explain things too much.
Lovely to be able to order your dishes.
Ania's favorite was the rice cakes, which she would call sour rice cakes. Because they have peanuts and sourness.
Bread was nice, but isn't all warm bread?:)
Beetroot tartar has a little too much perfume from the pickled ginger, wasabi and onion.
And now, the morchels. Perfectly combination with rice, which has some crispiness and cooked all dente.
Truffle brioche was also very tasty on the milk bun. Very nicely looking.
We also tried their most expensive red wine on their menu. And I think it tastes like any other 1er cru. I would expect a little more when deciding to pay 280 for a bottle. Especially that the wine brand owner recommends enjoying it until 2022.

Overall it was a disappointing experience, especially after our previous visits to her restaurants in both London and Paris. We had a full course since it was our first time. Despite our already noted down allergy requirements, the restaurant refused to meet some of them due to their style of cooking (waiters choice of words). They made some changes which somewhat worked until we go to the fish and meat part. It was extremely salty and both poultry and lamb was as rough and tough as they can be. Fish felt over cooked and once again extremely salty. Staff replaced the fish dishes when asked but alas the taste didn’t improve. When we asked on the meat, staff insisted it was cooked well and the meat were fresh despite our contest. Experience with these two main dishes unfortunately killed other parts of the course which were visually colourful and somewhat unique. Staff are cordial but somewhat robotic and felt like they wanted to be somewhere else but at the restaurant working - sense of hurry could be felt in their movement as well as the speed of the service. I started wine pairing which felt rushed with continuous rounds of wine that didn’t seem to match the food. Rather you could feel that they were moving based of formulae of providing wine at their own speed of sales rather than the preference of a diner who may or may not be an experience wine drinker. Cheese wasn’t even offered which I thought was interesting despite our request at the beginning of lunch, then again many staff were also couldn’t be found towards the end of the lunch. Lunch finished after 4 hours and majority of staff couldn’t be found when we were about to leave. Whoever was left seemed he couldn’t be bothered to stay on. We had to ask for our clothes as we left rather than offered. Quite rude I thought.
Lausanne Palace is a beautiful property and the restaurant certainly has that but unnecessary stiffness as well as the inflexibility that can be felt in the environment desires to be fixed. Unfortunately I cannot recommend this restaurant to anyone who is looking for that unique Ann Sophie Pic experience. I hope the restaurant and the hotel will improvise (and modernise!) somewhat and perhaps look forward to visit again.

Gratulation an die Crew, super. Das Essen, mehrgang Menü, war herrlich. Der jeweilige Wein dazu sehr ausgesucht und köstlich. Alles hat gestimmt und wir haben selten so eine schöne Geburtstagsfeier erleben dürfen. Vielen Dank!
Classic Swiss restaurant with an amazing art collection. Dining here is a bit pricey, but remember that literally the museum visit is also included in the price, and you have a unique opportunity to dine in next to Chagall, Miró, Bonnard, Picasso and other masterpieces.
The service here is great, and waiters here found a nice intonation when speaking with their guests. Friendly, with a pinch of a good joke.
The cuisine is also classic. Quite tasty, but nothing exceptional.
Good choice for business lunch or dinner, but I wouldn’t recommend it for romantic or family occasion.

Excellent meat with very nice people serving us!
The bar is simply amazing
One of the worst experience.
We went for dinner, ordered herb salad and 2 main courses with side dish.
Didn’t finished anything. The salad was spoiled with the sauce, all the herbs were not matching, they put mint in the bundle (not cut, not by leaves even), so we couldn’t feel any taste just mint and sauce.
For the side dish we ordered mashed potatoes and I will never forget it’s something unrecognizable. Purée from the powder is even better. Mushrooms were over fried.
It was big disappointment.
To be fair they deduct it from the bill but it didn’t help with the experience in this place.

Delicious food and a cool experience! Considering they’re students, the service was great and all of the dishes were perfectly prepared. Very good value too. Reservations open 60 days in advance, and can go pretty quickly so be prepared!
Sehr gutes Essen! Die Preise viel zu teuer. Ein halbes Filet zu 44 Franken. Und die Beilagen waren nicht inbegriffen. Und mein Menü mit diesen Muscheln, 56 Franken ohne Pommes Frites. Die Bedienung katastrophal. Wir warteten für unser Hauptgericht ein und halb Stunden. Wir kamen uns vor, als wurden wir vergessen gegangen.
Nach meiner Meinung finde ich es schade, daß das Essen sehr, sehr lecker ist, aber die Bedienung und die Preise schreckhaft! Das Dessert hatten wir in einem anderen Restaurant genommen. Dort erholten wir uns von diesem schreckhaften Restaurant.

wait too long to get my dishes, it almost cost me one hour to get main course after finishing starter, unacceptable.
The staff was incredible and attentive. I regret not getting to speak to Fabien. It was amazing watching him work and executing the dishes. Next time I will definitely ask to take a photo (when he's not in the middle of prep!). The rest of the staff was equally amazing. The front of the house were so helpful and warm. The back of the house was like an orchestra everyone working so well together. I would love if you could do a Chef's Table which I guess is almost what I had since I basically spent most of the meal watching the kitchen. I really loved it and can't wait to return!
Interesting experience. We ordered the tasting menu with a lobster.
Everything was flowery, the sauces are complementing the original dish taste, not changing it.
The service was good enough but dishes were changed slowly but after asking to speed up the process a little bit, it became quicker.
The air was really stuffy, that's the only thing I didn't like. I had to cool myself with the printed menu :) And that's not only me - the couple on the next table did the same.

We had a great dinner at ‚Neue Taverne‘! The restaurant offers a wide variety of different vegetarian and vegan foods. We opted for the Tavolata which has to be preordered during the reservation. The food was very delicious, freshly made and the service just lovely.
The restaurant itself is beautiful in a nice area.

We fell in love with this spot and will definitely be coming back. It’s best to go as a group (we were 4) and be able to try everything on the menu. The truffle bread is a must but everything else was equally delicious. (PS, as non-vegetarians, you do NOT miss the meat.)
What a fantastic vegan tasting experience. Was not expecting such creativity in the menu and presentation, but I guess that’s why they have a Michelin star.
Seven or so dishes, themed around the current season. We had things like celery, beet root, mushrooms, and apricots. Unsure how frequently the items change, but I’m sure they will be amazing each time.
If you choose the tasting menu, give yourself at least two hours to go through the entire process. I would high recommend it.

Extremely interesting experience! Each course has a personal a story behind it and is very delicious. The service was excellent and the wine accompaniment great.
Amazing experience!
High end service, delicious cuisine, perfect location, fantastic atmosphere - the best restaurant in Vaud!

Delicious food with interesting concept. We tried brunch here. Friendly staff and pleasant atmosphere. They serve Mame coffee, which I like, but there was no option to choose Cappuccino (which was bit weird). Due to small portion, it was quite pricey.
a really perfect dinner from start to end combined with a night in the castle. The staff was great too and cared perfectly about us all the time! Amazing experience 🤩
I had the most incredible time. I loved everything - the attention to detail, the food presentation, the friendliness of the staff, and of course, the food itself. Food is heavenly. Each piece was a work of art - all bursting with complex flavors and textures. The staff speaks very good english too which was really helpful for me when I ask for the details of each dish. Overall, it was worth it and definitely a must go for any special occassion.
Awesome place for authentic swiss food. It's pricey, like almost anything in Switzerland, but this place is worth it. Romantic occasion, or business meeting, or social catch up. Probably only not great for a family outing with small kids. Otherwise don't hesitate.
Charming little village where every corner is a photo. The hotel is overpriced and the rooms not very comfortable (no door between the toilet and the sleeping room!). The castle is beautiful with a nice wine cellar, many piece of arts and nice rooms. The restaurant (signature menu) was quite boring and the food is not a 3 stars Michelin. The best was the bread and butter! Staff was great as well the service. The chef Caminada drop in 1 minute. Not worth a visit. Maybe we where in the wrong evening.
Definitely the best restaurant in Zurich! You will be guided thru a delicious menu, served on a intimate dining room. Staff is super friendly and helpful, and the service was made with perfection . 11/10
I don't know why this restaurant isn't rated higher. The service was incomparable, the wine fantastic, and the food was better than what we've had at Michelin starred restaurants. They well exceeded what we had anticipated.
We came for the Amuse-Bouche lunch menu that is currently being offered on Thursdays and Fridays only. The meal came in five courses, each consisting of three amuse-bouche sized portions. So this totals basically to a fifteen (!!!) course menu albeit in small portions, but for us this was the ideal entry point to get to know Heiko Nieder's cuisine. All dishes were top notch, displaying immaculate craft, innovation and product quality. It's easy to see why this is being considered to be Zurich's best restaurant by the respective guides. Apart from the amuse-bouche courses we also were served a sequence of snacks upfront and petit-four to end the meal with, those were excellent as well. Other than the food: The dining room is luxurious, the wine list is extensive and it's contents are very expensive, as is the wine by the glass selection. Service is welcoming and genuinely friendly.
Refined atmosphere, beautiful plating, the best part of the Nespresso gourmet week lunch offer was the dessert creation. The starter and main although beautiful were not that impressive. I have to say personally I prefer Stefan Heilemann’s cooking at Widder for the gourmet week.
Top notch food and service, some memorable plates but perhaps not quite at the amazing level of the mother restaurant in Valence.
Service and food was excellent, however the price is way too high.
Excellent!
We had the 10 course dinner + paired wines. We thoroughly enjoyed the 4 hours we spent there. Every course as well as the amuse bouche were incredible, both in taste and in looks. The plates themselves were boring (all white) compared to what we've seen elsewhere but that's probably by design: so we focus on the food itself. The pace was also great throughout the dinner.
The wine pairing is really expensive (more expensive than the meal itself) which is a bit outrageaous, but we'd say at least half the wines really were fantastic extensions of the corresponding food, which isn't always the case (sometimes it's just a nice pairing, but not really that magical chemistry), so we'd recommend it. If you'd like to save and don't want to be too drunk at the end of the meal or throw away half the wine, you can ask to share one wine pairing for 2. Probably an outrageous thing to do, but we resent paying and then throwing away so much good wine so this arrangement works great for us.

First, I would recommend to make a reservation because they're quite popular. Many people tried to walk in, had to leave unfortunately.
The place and staff were amazing! Although their Negroni was not the best in town (I would not order it again), the food was really great. We had Degustation Menu (Bread and Pretzel, Bavarian Cheese, Sausage Slaw, Schnitzel, and Pretzel ice cream) and I enjoyed it much. Actually the Apetizer was more outstanding than the Schnitzel and the Pretzel ice cream. Definitely will come back again!

Excellent, le rapport qualité prix est parfait. C’est une excellente découverte pour mes papilles gustatives. J’ai été enchanté des plats, il y avait toujours une surprise, tant au niveau de la dégustation que de l’aspect esthétique. Le personnel est attentionné, et le service est parfait. Je recommande cet endroit sans hésiter. Belle découverte à vous !
fantastic service and delicious food. great location too
Great cluanari experience. One of the best hospitality school in the world allows you to live a gastronomy dinner @ their campus.
Great modern location and it is great to see how the students work. The food is very good. Superb products, the breads are awesome and very nice presented. Nice and fair priced wine list.
Bern - Effinger TOP
Unique experience. Try it!
This is hotel school with a 1* Michelin inside.
Place. It is an incredible facility with a lovely restaurant inside. Cozy and familiar with nice music and gray ambiance
Service - is done mainly by students and obviously you can't expect the consistency of long term staff.
There were several mistakes that they overcame with kindness and a great attitude. It was fine.
Food:
They prepared some monkfish and potatoes for the kid. And we got a 4 course menu, they started with some polenta and lobster and spoons of veal carpaccio I think.
Firsts highlights were the tuna poke roll and the foie.
The mains were many as we were a large group but highlights were the langostinos, monkfish with calamari spaghetti and duck.
Desserts also quite good with very distinct flavours.
They closed with some homemade chocolates and pattiserie.
Overall we enjoyed a lot, there is a great ambience result of a mix of student excitement and teachers know how. We will probably come back.

Wir waren zu Viert zum Essen. Unser Kellner Carlos war sehr zuvorkommend und konnte uns auch einen guten Wein empfehlen. Wir hatten eine grosse Fischplatte, welche ich bestens empfehlen kann. Ansonsten 4 noch verschiedene Nudelsorten welche auch sehr gut waren. Die Nachtischplatte mit Trockeneis sah nicht nur gut aus, sondern schmeckte ebenfalls hervorragend. Wir waren sehr zufrieden und kommen gerne wieder.
So nice place, We were meeting after work, Having Apero with our team. there was so quitet and good service, Perfect location in Old town Biel.
Mega 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Delicious Bavarian food with a delicate touch!
If you are looking for a big hearty plate of Bratwurst or Schweinshaxe then perhaps this place may not be for you. The food comes in smaller portions which work best when shared, and this allows you to try a lot of what is on the menu without needing to be air lifted our of the restaurant afterwards. This is definitely a good thing too as it's all delicious. For those of you like myself who ignorantly thought Bavarian food was a slightly sluggish symphony of beige, prepare to have your perspective changed. The dishes were varied, vibrant, and really well presented. The Schitzel was as good as any I've ever eaten (I've I've eaten a few in my time!). Service was great too - very friendly and laid back. Would definitely return.

Restaurant and Food was perfectly done.
Only small minor points need to work out is clean table regularly. There might be bread or others on table which fine dining at their level should consider. Service was very good, very friendly and helpful. In General, I am satisfied with the recommended restaurant and meet my expectations of a Starsss Restaurant....
