No. 15 of Fine Dining  in Zurich

Stopped by for an evening drink after walking around the old town. The place shifts from a daytime espresso bar into something moodier at night&mdash;dim lights, old wood, that sort of vibe. Had a negroni that was properly stirred, not too sweet. Could&#39;ve used a small snack to go with it, but the drink itself was solid.

The chicken soup with coconut milk hit the spot on a rainy evening. Rich, creamy, proper comfort food. Place was quiet, service friendly enough. Prices fair for the portion. Not fancy, but I&#39;ll be back when the weather turns again.

Stopped by for a late-night doner around 2am and it was surprisingly fresh. Place was still busy, which says a lot. Prices are normal for Zurich. Solid quick bite if you&#39;re out late.

The smoking lounge staff sorted me out with a decent pour even though my German&rsquo;s basically non-existent. Nice enough spot to unwind. Zurich&rsquo;s brutal on the wallet though, you pay for the vibe. Would&rsquo;ve liked a better wine list by the glass, but the service kept it easy.

The lunch menu&rsquo;s a solid deal, and that yellow curry with tofu really hit the spot. Place smells like spices the second you walk in, super homey.

The tapas and paella were solid, and the staff actually seemed happy we were there. Place had a nice relaxed vibe to it, not too loud. Would come back for the seafood dishes.

The food here tastes more authentic than most European spots I&#39;ve tried. Service was attentive without hovering. Portions felt right for the price.

The paella was solid and the live music gave the place a nice buzz. Prices are steep though, and veggie options are pretty limited.

Sushi was okay but the Indian dishes really stood out&mdash;properly spicy, which is rare here. Good pick if you want something casual without breaking the bank.

We got there at 9:30, kitchen was about to close but they still took us. Service was efficient, no fuss. Menu was a bit reduced at that hour, but the food came out solid. If that&#39;s their late-night level, I&#39;d expect a proper meal during normal hours. Fair price for what we got.

The lunch buffet is decent value, but go &agrave; la carte instead. Bun Cha Gio was the standout, nems were solid too.

Lovely little spot with that neighborhood vibe. Buffet had some nice variety and everything tasted fresh. Their homemade kombucha was a solid pick to go with the meal.

The lunch buffet here is solid&mdash;plenty of options and everything tastes fresh. I grabbed a glass of their house white to go with the grilled fish, and it paired nicely without being fancy. Gets busy around noon, so a reservation helps. Just wish they&rsquo;d swap out the dessert selection more often.

Stopped by for a coffee after getting off the train&mdash;location&rsquo;s super handy, just a few minutes from HB. Place is roomy, not cramped like some spots in the city. Staff let us sit and take our time, no rush at all. View from the table was nice too. Solid choice if you&rsquo;re nearby.

Nice little terrace out front, perfect for a slow evening. Food was decent, nothing crazy, but the service kept things easy. They poured a solid glass of local red that paired well with my main. Bill felt fair for what we got. I&#39;d sit outside again if the weather holds.

Cozy spot with solid portions&mdash;good for a group. Outdoor seating was a bonus. Their house red paired better with the pasta than I expected.

Came here on a whim and honestly left impressed. The food felt really thoughtful&mdash;like someone actually cared about the flavors, not just filling you up. I&rsquo;m picky too, so that says a lot. Left full but not gross, which never happens for me. Staff were friendly, nothing over the top. Just a solid, nice meal.

The ch&egrave;vre pain perdu was just right for a chilly morning, and I loved that they had blankets on the terrace. Portions are a bit small for the price, but the service was friendly.

Stopped by for a quick lunch and grabbed the daily special. Portion was decent for the price, honestly didn&#39;t expect much but left full. Cash only caught me off guard though, had to run to the ATM. Staff recognized me from last time, that was nice. Sandwich was solid, nothing fancy but does the job.

Been to La Tartina twice since they popped up. That braised beef with garlic mash is still the thing I keep thinking about. Tender, rich, exactly what I want on a cold evening. The tasting menu changes a bit, but that dish stayed consistent. Good to see a pop-up that actually holds its quality.

The salmon sashimi deal is solid for the price. Buffet&#39;s got enough variety to keep it interesting.

The Khao Soi was solid &mdash; rich broth, good flavor. Noodles got a bit lost in the soup though. I&#39;d still order it again for takeout.
