We followed a famous red guide gastronomic 2 stars (and 18/20 on another one) to pick the "best" table around Zurich. Of course we re not talking about a poor experience but definitely about a disappointment and a sense of being ripped off. It started with the ambiance, nice but in no way of the level expected. The terrace is small, without a lake view and not particularly elegant. We took the full "dégustation menu" (expect the venison course which honestly does not fit into a summer menu in particular when it's 33C). We wanted a Rosé but the choice was very limited so we settled for a good (albeit priced very high) Sancerre. The bill was close to CHF700. That is more that paid in the nest french 3 stars restaurant. But the menu was barely worth one star, not two for sure! Even for Zurich standards this is bordering outrageous.If you add a service far from perfect (we started the meal without wine, we were served the wrong dish, the waiters are nice but really not with the double star professionalism..more like student summer jobs like)...it starts to leave you with a bad taste...no pun intended ...So let's focus on the food...good yes, exceptional no! It is mainly seafood and fish based (good) but we did not find any any unique combination of tastes that would surprise and enchant us. Best were the stuffed Zucchini flowers with Langoustine and tuna/foie gras (unusual and nice combination but bot as tasty as expected). Deserts also worth mentioning. Overall would have been a 4/5 at 400-500CHF and maybe even a 5/5 below CHf350...but we had better gastronomic experiences at less than half this price...and yes even in Switzerland ....really out of any reasonable measure.
