Münsterhof 8, 8001 Zürich, Switzerland
What travelers say:
A restaurant popular with Zurich locals, just off the square of the Cathedral of Our Lady (Münsterhof), has been around for more than 700 years. It was the home of the private doctor of the convent of Notre Dame, who later sold the building to the linen weavers' guild, one of the seven oldest guilds in Zurich, and some textile scenes can still be seen on the window of the restaurant. The owner of the restaurant, Sepp Wimmer, took me to the floors, where the densely-painted badges were the hallmarks of the members of the guild, on the left, the time of the company’s establishment, and on the back, the time of joining the guild. The fountain in the square is also his magic: "I can let the fountain spew wine and fill the whole pool." Still ordering my favorite Zurich veal (Zürcher Geschnetzeltes), unlike many other restaurants that are used to cutting or shredding beef, The beef was cut into huge chunks, the meat was more delicate, and the potato cake was thicker. In addition, the fried duck liver with cherry port wine sauce was also the home dish here.

This restaurant is open in the old town. The store is not very historical and it is quite long. It is also very close to the city government. The restaurant's red wine steak is very good. The dishes are rich. The typical store is very low-key and the taste is very pleasant.
The dishes are more creative, mainly each dish pays attention to the vegetarian mix, which Asians prefer, eating meat is a bit uncomfortable, this restaurant is the most satisfying one in Zurich.
Knowing that you need to book in advance, so I passed by at noon and went directly to book dinner on the same day. I didn't expect it to be successful! The restaurant environment is retro and elegant, very European! The amount of main dishes is very large, so I ordered a staple food with my mother plus two glasses of white wine! A staple food is a local Swiss specialty, fried potato cake with beef mushrooms, the taste is quite good! Another fish with Italian rice, the fish is as fresh as the legend, very delicious! White wine is recommended by the waiter, local Swiss, the price is only more than 50 RMB a cup, the price is super high!
The interior of the restaurant is quite a bit of a look, with the wall panels, family badges and stained glass windows of important members of the Chamber of Commerce over the past generations. Come here and try Zurich's famous dishes! Mushroom veal, with beef waist, is admired by all traditional delicious cooking lovers.
