Marie-Ange OstréSeptember 26, 2014Here is one of the most traditional swiss restaurant to taste simple but good food from Zurich area like this Neuburg sausage with local potato salad! And some chestnut vermicelle for dessert. Enjoy!
Joel WongJanuary 1, 2015A place to go with friends/family who come to visit the city. It serves zurich's best special dishes. Decoration is a great. FYI, the meaning of the restaurant is the arsenal, so don't be surprise!

Fernando KikudomeMarch 7, 2017Perfect place for tourist. You may see a lot of cultural food of the German part of Switzerland. Try the Cordon Bleu (house famous). Local beer awesome. Price is very fair.
Maryam MVSeptember 29, 2021Don’t miss out on the famous Zürcher Geschnetzeltes! Swiss food, traditional style! Beer & dessert were great! Great service, gentle/available waiters,professionals. A delightful experience!
Roberto MarchiDecember 31, 2019Typical Swiss restaurant. Looks messy to get a sit, but totally worth the wait! Service is incredible. Try the Swiss Bratwurst and the Wiener Schnitzel! Highly recommended.
Christian DickmannMarch 24, 2015Really enjoyed my "Züricher geschnetzeltes" with Rösti. As a sauce lover I really liked that they served plenty of extra sauce on the side. Off menu chocolate cake was great too.
OlgaMarch 22, 2018I was suggested to go here by the guy on the hotel reception. And I liked this place. Tasty food and good service. If you want to try traditional Swiss food, than this place is MustVisit
Can be a bit pricey for people visiting with a less strong coin (like myself), but it serves traditional Zurich food, have their own beer, and the staff is really nice!
Jason SuAugust 16, 2022Loved the Kalbsgeschnetzeltes Bach Zürcher. Also liked the Wiedkerli! Note: if you make a reservation for 2, highly likely you’ll be paired with strangers.- Lisa StarbucksMarch 1, 2018Go for the haxn. The meat falls off the bone and the potato salad is perfect! Service is super friendly too despite it being packed. 👏👏👏🤩
FredJuly 28, 2018You must try the zurich veal. it’s however strangely reminiscent of sous-vide factory cooked veal blanquettes in montmartre, paris.. so far for authenticity
Bill RojasDecember 25, 2015It is a "must" see and eat place in Zurich if you are a local or on vacation. I've been there twice and the food is typical Swiss with great service, but make sure you you make reservations
- RJuly 2, 2015Fantastic simple traditional Swiss food. Try the sausage party with potato salad or rosti. Can't go wrong. Tons of history behind the building too!
- Marta SieroslawskaDecember 8, 2015Absolutely amazing traditional Swiss food. One whole page in the menu is dedicated to Wurst (sausages) only. They all come with potato salad, but you can ask for a replacement -- try Sauerkraut!
Werner FilhoNovember 15, 2014My local friends says it is a "touristic trap", but The building is older than my country, The food is Very good, and The place is always fool (needs reservation often).
M.G. SieglerAugust 25, 2014Get a massive beer and any sort of sausage. Also the weinerschnitzle if you can fit it all in. (They also have a beer that they set on fire.)
Kanji IshiwaraApril 13, 2018Great place to dine al fresco on a warm evening, watching the foot traffic on Bahnhofstrasse. House beer was good. The veal liver tasted like liver, nice to try but won’t have again.
ollkaOctober 2, 2014Very touristic but still surprisingly very good for a classic sausage (lot of choice) and sauerkraut or potato salad. Also works non stop between lunch and dinner time during the weekend
meganAugust 25, 2014Good place to gain 10lbs. Swallow your pride and ask for an English menu - it's giant and there are many different types of sausage. Tables are communal!
Oliver MaagSeptember 10, 2015Anything is great, but do check the sausage menu out, specially the "mayor's sword" (1m long sausage). Great house beer, and all-around great atmosphere and food.
Jenn HwangOctober 22, 2014Swiss food in a tourist-friendly environment. (I don't mean that in a negative way either; sometimes when you've been travelling a while, it's nice to know exactly what you are ordering from a menu!)
Harald B.April 2, 2019Book a table! Always crowded! Try traditional dishes with local beer! Menues in Chinese available.
Assaf Al-AwajiAugust 21, 2014the zöri gschnätzlets with Rösti is greaaaaaaaaaat... It was crowded but the service was quicker than what anyone can imagine... This restaurant worth 5 stars for that... You won't regret it
Tugra GöndenJune 6, 2016Very authentic, I call it the "Hofbräuhaus" of Zürich! Try the Zürcher Geschnetzeltes, their showcase dish, they even have a beer sommelier
Christine ByunAugust 16, 2022You will likely get paired with another party to fill up the table. That said - we still enjoyed our meal and beer!
Rory ParnessJuly 29, 2017#62 spicy sausage. Swap out the potato salad for the rosti and get a side of kraut. Wash down with some German wheat beer and you're good to go
Great place to enjoy a traditional Swiss menu as well as a large variety of local and imported draft beer, in a former armoury!
mikinenoOctober 28, 2013A fantastic place to feel and eat the Swiss food. Bratwurst, rosti, soups... Delicious. Friendly workers and menu available in English, Spanish,Chinese,Italian...
Christoffer Falck-JohansenOctober 27, 2017Loud, but cozy. I would recomend the seasonal food. If you are with a large group you would do smart in making a reservation. Traditional food and ok beer.
Food os great, both indoor and outdoor tables are nice (inside you have all this old machine guns and so on) and service is friendly
Ceren Yener MarinkovicFebruary 6, 2015Great food, cosy place and very popular. You should make a reservation before you go, it is quite difficult to get a table without reservation.
Stelios StNovember 15, 2018Perfect shank! Meat only selections with traditional Swiss recipes. Huge place with big chances to find a table without booking.
Mariana RodriguesNovember 26, 2016Pan fried veal, potato roti and beer! They accept reservations and are always full, but in 10 min max you can get a table
Maria AshtonAugust 6, 2014Hands down favourite restaurant in Zurich. Best potatoe salad in any German speaking country. Also the Zurich Special is to die for!
Mima ChavesApril 21, 2018Good beer 🍺 delicious sausages and nice staff!! The potato salad is amazing 😋
Monika BujakSeptember 17, 2017Make sure to reserve at least 1 day in advance. Great for typical Swiss cuisine.
Leo PrietoJune 18, 2012Great traditional Swiss food! Have the Kalbsschnitzel mit rosti. Very traditional interior and tables outside to enjoy the spring and summer. Kind service!
Rodrigo CipriánFebruary 18, 2018It may very well be a tourist trap, but if ask for the right food the experience can be delightful. The Luzerner Lebkuchen is a remarkable dessert!
John BroksJuly 4, 2012If you want traditional food and you like your sausage this is the place to come, sausage by the metre. Sit in the old ammunitions factory alongside other guests on long long tables, lively, noisy.
Nefeli KonstantinouDecember 22, 2018We tried the sausages and the were quiet good. Swiss prices at around 30CHF for main dishes and some sausages around 20CHF.
Thiago ValsaniApril 5, 2019Great option around downtown. Schnitzel and sausages are nice and price is okay for Swiss standards. Kids friendly.
T SMay 29, 2017Pork shanks were very tasty! The sausages (mixed platter) were disappointing though. Accompanying Rösti was ok. Ambience is quite interesting and service was very friendly.
Nicha PhraprasertApril 15, 2019It’s crowded. You should book a table in advance. Staff is really nice. Food and beed are delicious.
VitaliyMarch 18, 2016Good traditional place. Beer is tasty, meat with potato pancake with mushrooms aside is fantastic.
Trevor HillJune 16, 2018That perfect combo of touristy and authentic-ish, loved the schnitzel with rösti (a pile of Swiss hash browns)
Lincoln ManvilleDecember 7, 2018Dishes were quite good, the sausage tasted great, salad was well seasoned. Lovely authentic place.
Sofie P.December 29, 2015Great food excellent service.try Wiener schnitzel and all kind of sausages..rosti didn't say much to me .lol !
