Bauernschaenke - Zuerich

We had our civil wedding lunch there at the end of January 2023 and it was perfect: from the communication for the organisation (thank you Philipp) to the reception and service (thank you Chloe and Steffi), the natural wine and of course the dishes full of creativity and respect for the product. Some of our guests even went back in the following weeks and we will also come back soon.

Beautiful, rustic restaurant, innovative and perfectly cooked, perhaps a little generously salted food. Acceptable prices and friendly service.

Good food, but if I pay 200 CHF for a meal I expect to not get thrown out in a real unfriendly way because they overbooked their tables. Also, they knew what we would order and how long it would take. The bottleneck was their speed, but nevertheless they made us feel like we did something wrong. If you want to spend money you can find better service in Zürich elsewhere.

Absolutely loved our meal here. Got a table outside after our hotel concierge called over for a spot. It was a total European moment as the sun set behind the medieval buildings with a gentle stream of passers by. Highlight meal of our trip even compared with Maison Manesse. We went with the chef’s surprise menu and it was stellar beginning to end. I’m gluten free and they subbed out bread with a lovely gf option. Our server also recommended a fantastic wine for our meal and the cocktail I had to start might be the drink of the summer! Highly recommended. Everything that went by to other tables looked fabulous too and I wanted to go back to try more.

Amazing, inventive food. The fennel with goat cheese and bonito flakes was revelatory! And the halibut with hazel nuts and salmon roe was exceptional. Very interesting wines by the glass, with great advice from a knowledgeable server.
