AURA 800° Grill & Bar

What an extraordinary restaurant experience :) Friendly and professional service, delicious food and good choice of wine :) Highly recommend! The biophilic interior design makes it a special location. Their menu has a good choice of food items and a huge wine card. We ordered the sushi rolls as starters, blown away by the fine and fresh food art! Honestly never would I have imagined to have such a quality of sushi rolls in a grill restaurant! We ordered the Korean style Entrecôte and the prime short ribs. Both were on point and delicious. The only negative point was that we waited for 40 minutes on the main course.

I had tried to get in to various restaurants on the Michelin guide and kept calling places, and quite a few of them were very rude. I was able to get a reservation here though, and I'm really glad I did. The grilled sole entree was absolutely out of this world, just incredible. Get the spinach and rice as side dishes, they accompany the dish very well. The service was excellent and I felt like the wait staff really cared and wanted me to have a good evening. They let me try multiple wines so I could pick one I liked. The place is a bit loud and on the pricey side , but it's a great dining experience with a wonderful staff, I'd definitely come back.

This is one of the go to places in Zürich. The ambiance of the restaurant on the ground floor is amazing. It's young, modern, stylish, hip and I love the lightning of the restaurant. If gives you an exclusive feeling. The service is top. The food is amazing, they always serve great food. I love their menu. I can't think of anything to complain. I will definitely come back:)

Great place for a business lunch! Quick service, nice varied menu! The Thai dumplings were wonderful!

Great place. Especially if you love meat, so soft and tender. Have been here two times, mostly cause my girlfriend wanted it. We both love the food. Bit pricey but if you have money who cares!

Delicious food, fantastic to order a few to share. Helpful staff, comfortable restaurant (ground floor), with a nice terrace with small tables in summer

Love the service and atmosphere here, drinks are well made. Special event on Saturday night by the Pink rabbit was very cool. Great live show, good music, interesting dance show, good people and good vibes ❤️ Service was good as we were mostly served and service by the bar manager because our seats were just at the bar counter. Ps. I'm only there for clubbing not to the restaurant so I have no idea how their food and services are at the restaurant!

After 3 months in Zurich my favorite place for dinner till now. Limited menu but spot on to share and enjoy good meat or fish in a very trendy setting and personnel very helpful. See you soon

One of my most favorite places in Zurich. We have been coming for many years with my local business partners who are regular guests and I have to say that I have never been dissapointed. Love both, to be sitting outside as well as outside and to come for drinks as well as lunch or dinner

Trendy new restaurant in the old Swiss stock exchange building. I haven't been here since clubbing at Alte Börse back in the day. The wait staff were quite friendly and spoke passable English. Our server was having some issues understanding us, but it could have also been due to the noise in the room. It was really loud, and we practically had to shout at each other for dinner conversation. It was really packed on a Wednesday night, so it was a good thing we made reservations beforehand. I loved the ambiance--a cool, modern, earthy style, almost zen-garden-like, with lots of natural stone and wood. There was also plenty of light, which I prefer rather than eating in semi-darkness. The restrooms were amazing. I really liked the mosaic-tiled sinks. There is also a cool wine cellar right before you enter. I wish I had my phone on me to take a picture, but I didn't think to bring it with me, and I didn't want to look like a lame-o who went back to the toilet just to take a photo. :P I was a bit exhausted from lack of sleep, so I didn't drink any alcohol and can't comment on the drinks. There is quite an extensive menu with lots of yummy-sounding options, and I opted for the grilled white tuna with basil, black olives, and eggplant caviar. You can order it as an appetizer or a main dish, and I chose the larger size for my meal. Given my past experience in their sister restaurant Tao's, I assumed that the dishes didn't come with any sides, so I ordered a side of almond broccoli. Turned out that my dish came on a huge bed of vegetables, so I really didn't need the additional side. Oh well. I still stuffed it all in though, because the food was quite delicious. My tuna was tender and perfectly cooked, the veggies were a tiny bit salty for my taste, but still good. The curious "eggplant caviar" turned out to be regular cooked eggplant that was chopped up. My almond broccoli was delicious, perfectly cooked broccoli with the nice crunch of slivered, toasted almonds. I never realized that such a simple dish could be so yummy. Very glad that I ordered it.

This is my favorite restaurant in Zurich for steak. I've been here a number of times and was very happy each time. I always order a rare filet - the bison or the regular beef. It's always perfectly cooked and just so delicious. For the sides, the oven vegetables and the risotto are outstanding. The veggies are cooked in a very tasty butter. The risotto is absolutely heavenly. The service is great, which isn't the most common in Zurich. The ambiance is very cozy. Once I was a little disappointed because my filet had quite a bit of fat on it, but I only got to the fatty part in the second half of the filet, so I just let it go. The waiter asked if I wanted to talk to anyone, but I was so satisfied with the first half and pretty full by that point, so I chalked it up to one non-stellar experience. If you get apps, I wouldn't recommend the avocado crab salad. Both the avocado and crab were lacking. Everyone at the table raved about their sushi appetizer, though. If you want a perfect steak, this is the place!

Everything at this restaurant was amazing! The food was amazing the, the presentation was amazing the server was amazing the atmosphere was lively. I can honestly say that I will return to this restaurant each and every time I am in Zürich. The first time I went it was recommended to me by a coworker. The second time I went, I took one of my colleagues that have never been before. I ordered the Burrata as my starter and I had a ribeye steak as my main. I also had the cream spinach on the side of my steak. I couldn't have asked for a better meal. The server was attentive and the food was brought to the table fast. The atmosphere and look and feel of the restaurant was very modern and prices reflected the quality of food and service. The steak was melting your mouth. I have never had steak that tasted so good. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Zürich

New York in Zurich. Excellent. Don't be put off if the restaurant is fully booked, just head upstairs where we had a DJ banging out some great lounge music along with beautifully made cocktails (I had the caipi-jam with strawberry jam) which is their own invention and great. A lobster bisque soup with chicken drumsticks on a plate with mango oriental style salad and potato wedges. Everything was incredible, the prices were also very reasonable. So much so that I left a tip and in Switzerland I seldom do. You should really give it a try.

As an American visiting Zurich this was a good choice of restaurant. The waiter was very friendly, spoke English well, and was closer to American style of attentiveness. The menu was definitely on the pricier side, no main course is under ~40 dollars. And my main dish was quite small in comparison to the price. However, the food was very good as was the bread and wine. I would suggest dressing well its quite upscale.

The evening was going great - great company, good food and wine, stimulating conversation. The atmosphere in the restaurant was buzzing and full on a Wednesday night - no wonder given the fantastic location, there were many business people from nearby offices no doubt, like us. The restaurant was designed with a very modern twist on the wood and slate styles - wood tables, clean lines, a wall of slate at the back and the grill in the middle of the room. It's a long room and we were taken to our seats at the very end, past 2-3 extremely large stone vases, with wooden long lamps dangling at various intervals, casting a warm but bright light all around. If anyone has been to Sake No Hana in London would understand this sort of almost modern Japanese with European infusion. There was wide stairs leading down to the little wine cellar and the bathrooms, where everything was brightly lit and safe. The bathroom was in a similar style; slates on the walls, stone vases and extremely clean and bright. It was decorated with round little mirrors placed everywhere above the sink; the sink being an extremely deep and narrow mosaic creation which matched the door handles. I ordered the Grilled Quail's Breast on nüsslisalat with slices of foie gras and the most delicious pinenut dressing imaginable. Delicious! My friend ordered the Champagne truffel soup which smelt wonderful, with the appropriate amount of foam placed tantalisingly on top. For mains, I had the rindsfilet from the grill with Café de Paris sauce and pomme allumette on the side. My friend ordered the white tuna steak with eggplant caviar and almond broccoli as a side. Our other friend had the sliced tuna steak with a spicy kind of cucumber sauce. The food was all very delicious but here was where they failed somewhat in my opinion.... 1) My friend had asked for tap water and they actually charged for each refill, coming to a total CHF 9 for 8dl of tap water - not much at all, but on principle...... 2) My Café de Paris sauce was such a miniscule proportion that it was impossible for customers not to ask for more sauce. That extra bit of sauce was an extra CHF2 3) Side dishes were an extra CHF 7 which is normal....but considering how expensive the main dishes were....... 4) A glass of Moet Chandon rosé champagne was CHF21.....compared to a michelin starred restaurant I went to recently and was served a Perrier-Jouét rosé (which is far more superior in my humble opinion) was CHF19...... So all in all, it was a great evening and I must reiterate that we had no complaints about the food. But really, to charge that extra CHF2 for sauce and for tap water?! How CHEAP do you, as a high end restaurant establishment, make yourself?? Talk about lack of customer service in this regard (because the sauce that came with my steak was really on a nanoscopic scale.....) As the Swiss would say, this is really BÜENZLI!!

Pretty cool bar with nice interior design and ambiance. Good sitting area and also high tables around the bar area. If you are a single guy looking for a girl, you might find very fine looking girls in the lounge sitting area where sofa and big chairs are. If you are a single girl looking for a guy, the bar area is full of decent looking men. This bar seems to be one of places where many singles hang out without actually get mingled (guys are at the bar, girls are in the lounge area)... Music is nice. Drink is.. not so good. I would go for beer :)

Aura: Clubbing; Bar; Lounge and Restaurant. Best place to be for EDM. The stuff is friendly and the atmosphere is great. For me there is no place simular like this in Zurich, so I am a lot there, mostly at the parties on Saturdays. In the lounge, there serve also appetizer and there is a big smoking Area there, where you can sit and talk together and listen to the sound in the right volume. What can I say more. Make your own impression and enjoy ; - )

What a great club. Nice atmosphere, good people. Nothing but joy in place. Food is good downstairs and the cigar friendly lounge is very nice.
