Silex - Restaurant mit Wein-Fokus

I didn’t appreciate that if one or two people at the table want to have the tasting menu the whole table is forced to have it. This should be communicated in advance of taking the order and/or noted on the menu. The the food was decent - I agree that for the price the quantities were very small and unfortunately we did not get to try some of the plates we wanted to try due to the above rule. Wine list was great - very good knowledge and recommendations.

Incredibly thoughtful, well rounded tasting menu focused on local ingredients and superb natural wine pairing for the vegetarian and meat 5-course tasting menu. Friendly, professional, multi lingual staff deserves a big compliment. Quality-wise, it's excellent price-quality by the strange (expensive) standards of Zurich, but many of the wines by the glass and bar snacks are very decently priced. In one word: go!

Go to Silex if you're into good wine and complex, unusual flavors—they definitely don’t do anything average here! I was especially impressed by the oyster mushroom starter and the liver pappardelle—both were packed with flavor. Our waiter was fantastic—not just great at his job, but also super friendly and really made our visit special. We had a good laugh—thank you!

Loved our celebration dinner at Silex! The place has such a cool, minimal yet fun vibe with lots of attention to the details. The staff were super friendly and really attentive, which made the experience even better. For us, the orange wine was a highlight, and every dish we had was so unique and filled with flavor. Plus, our dogs were welcomed and got a special little corner next to the garden door, which was a huge bonus 😊 Cannot wait to be back!

I have always come to expect greatness at Silex ever since I set foot in there 3 years ago and this evening was no exception. With a clear focus on pig, the lardo on honey toast, the playful pork liver hot dog elevated with edible flowers and the asparagus tempura only serve to remind one that playful, adventurous food with a winking nod to the classics can stand up and truly be recognised. Get a high table by the kitchen to witness the creations and never leave!!
