Restaurant Kronenhalle

One of the best meals I’ve had this year. So glad my expectations matched what I experienced. Epitome of Swiss hospitality. Great food, impeccable service, and fantastic ambience. There is an old world charm to this place I really appreciated. The customers also reflected that (i.e. men wearing dress shirts and blazers). Definitely a pricy meal, depending on what and how you order. You won’t be disappointed though.

Excellent restaurant! Everything was top-level the service, the food, and even though I was dining solo, I got an amazing table. Make sure to book ahead! And the dessert… simply phenomenal

Definitely a life-time must! A Zurich landmark with so much tradition since the 1920s, history and an amazing collection of original art (Miro, Chagall, Rodin, etc). Unquestionably, however, these attributes (which are watched by an art portrait of Hulda Zumsteg, the founder) would be irrelevant if the menu items were not top notch – in character, presentation including dishing out by the knowledgeable but amicable staff, and most importantly the perfect flavor. Just a quick explanation how to best read the menu: On the left-hand side, there are timeless classical dishes that have not changed and will never change, and on the right-hand side, there are a bit more modern and experimental dishes. Every choice is perfected and one cannot really go wrong. Not being a vegetarian, I tried two vegetarian dishes and was thrilled. (Originally posted by me on YELP)

This is the second michelin restaurant we have ever been to although we are foodies. I was honestly underwhelmed. I understand that they specialize in traditional food from switzerland and the roesti in particular was delicious but for michelin food and michelin prices, I suppose I was expecting something more unique. I also ordered a dish from the seasonal menu which I felt was a bit bland. In addition, the presentation of the food didnt feel special. 2 of the dishes were brought to the table/heater next to us and scooped into a plate next to us which did not make for pretty plating. Again, it could be the style, and for the traditional food we had I do think it was done well, but I didnt find them to be anything special that I would go out of my way for again.

The vitello tonnato was exceptional – melt-in-your-mouth tender with a rich, well-balanced sauce, and a generous portion. The roast baby chicken was superb – incredibly juicy with beautifully crisp, aromatic skin. The sea bass was also delightful and easy to enjoy. Dishes were served impressively fast, without compromising quality. Service was warm, attentive, and genuinely helpful. The ambiance was cozy and inviting.
