"Ten-Franc Sandwiches in a Flower Shop Ten francs doesn’t get you much in Zurich , but at this no-frills counter, it gets you excellent, several-inch-thick sandwiches stuffed with your choice of charcuterie, cheeses and marinated vegetables in intriguing buns (studded with sun-dried tomatoes or chili pepper, for instance). The sandwich counter shares space with a flower shop (translation: tables have fantastic floral arrangements), and is a hit among students from the nearby ETH Zurich."

This place enjoyed great popularity a few years ago, and still thrives on that fame. A sandwich in Zürich with meat (ham, salami, etc...) is on average 7-8 CHF. Here you pay 10 CHF, and you can choose sauces and ingredients, while they will make it for you. While the result is healthier than most fat-filled sandwiches of the region, it's disappointing that in time they became much stingier with the ingredients. You get now 3 paper-thin slices of meat each sandwich. Barely enough to cover the bread. Once I asked for more and they told me "50 cents per extra slice". Come on, seriously? I know it's Zürich, you don't get good value when you eat out, but this is ridiculous, especially because the cost of meat is probably negligible compared to employees wages, rent, hygiene costs, etc. I was a regular for 3 years, I am never going back.

Nice place to get a sandwich. Its a weird combination of a florist and a resraurant. Popular to students so its crowded during lunch time and breaks.

My favourite sandwich bar in the area. Super friendly attendance and a funny atmosphere with all those flowers around you.

Sandwiches zum selbst zusammenstellen welche durchaus schmackhaft sind, allerdings preislich nicht gerade gunstig. Die Bedienung ist sehr freundlich, die Auswahl an Speisen aber etwas dürftig. Würde nicht mehr kommen nur für ein Sandwich.

Kaufe mir regelmässig mein Mittagessen beim Basilikum. Ist eine super Sache, man kann sich für 10.- CHF selber ein Sandwich zusammenstellen mit Saucen, Fleisch, Käse und Gemüse. Das Angebot an Zutaten ist sehr gross und wirkt immer frisch, und die Portion ist grosszügig genug, damit man satt wird. Das Personal ist auch toll :)
