I take everyone who visits Zürich to this restaurant, great atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff, and of course, wonderful food, great selection of wine and beer. I'm a fan of rösti, i just love the rösti there! So far best I had in Zurich. Love their Beefsteak Tartar, Schweinhaxe(Whole pork shank) Lammrückenfilet(Fillet of lamb saddle), Kalbsgeschnetzeltes. Going to dine there... More

Great restaurant that serves traditional Swiss German food. Good variety including snitzel, sausages, codon blue and a great pork shoulder (which was our favorite dish). We didn't have reservations but they were able to seat fairly quickly. We were a party of four and shared the table with two others. Good beer selection! Watch out that they don't charge you... More

Great setting - very traditional décor. Staff friendly. Food was very good but expensive. The house beer was good.

If your looking for local Colour and food, this is the place to go. An old armory with lots of memorabilia. You most likely will be sharing a table if you are just two. Portions are large and should satisfy most people. The Veal with Mushroom sauce had great flavoring and was true comfort food. Make sure you have the... More

Right in the heart of Zurich is this charming restaurant serving traditional Swiss/German food at a very reasonable price. The food and service are excellent and the ambiance of the great room is worth the visit. The menu has something for everyone as well as beer and wine selection. Be sure to make a reservation or go early as the... More

You must book to avoid standing in a queue. We went here for lunch and dinner on the same day. Great food at a reasonable price in a traditional Swiss setting. What more could you ask for????

I have eaten here a few times now. Prices are very reasonable by Zurich standards. The service is good, the food is German/Swiss and big portions. Nice traditional setting. Always busy but big enough that you don't have to wait long. A lot of the tables are big so you may end up sharing if its busy.

We visited Zeughauskeller on the night of Sechseläuten, a festival I'll admit I'd never heard of which turned out to be excellent fun! I had the Mayor's Sword, which comes served on an actual sword, with a couple of litres of the house beer. Overall visiting Zeughauskeller was a very memorable experience I would recommend to anyone visiting Zurich. Except... More

We arrived at lunchtime and from the outside it looked like it might be closed. We tried the door and upon finding it open went in....the place was jam packed. We were seated quickly with 2 Swiss gentlemen who didn't bother to say hello and made. No effort to communicate with us which was just what we wanted. We only... More
