Bauernschänke

Atmosphere is nice. The food is overpriced for what it is even for Zurich standards. All the dishes were extremely salty and some fish dishes didn’t seem quite fresh. The beef was too chewy and in general none of the dishes was special. There were a lot of flavors combined but lacking of character. In addition, we got food poisoning right after returning home. For the price point service was also disappointing, the waiters didn’t even refill the waters or the wine. You would search for some time if you needed something. The dish names were just mentioned without really explaining every time the composition of the dish. Would have expected more from this restaurant and concept.

Had a great experience at bauernschanke! I came solo and would love to come back with more people to experience more of the dishes. The servers were so helpful and friendly and even offered me a half order of the milk toast as they said it was a house special but came as an order for 2. Everything I ate was delicious and had complex, interesting flavors. I loved that there was great vegetarian options and they gave a piece of local chocolate to go at the end of the meal.

🔺️ Nice atmosphere, simple yet elegant decoration. Good quality of cutlery and glassware. Staff are kind and very attentive. Sourdough and Dip is nice to start with. 🔻 Pulled Pork Belly was too salty and not as tender as it should (for my taste, of course), which was the dish I was looking for.

Amazing place only a few 100 meters from the main tourist pedestrian areas of Zurich. Great outdoor seating on a summer evening. Loved the vegetarian options, but all dishes very great and packed with flavor.

Favorite place in Zürich! Great staff & Food - don’t miss out on the pork belly! Food is a sharing concept, which is ideal for you to try all different dishes. 🫶

We had an absolutely wonderful experience here! All the dishes we tried were excellent and service was absolutely great. The taste of the food was incredible and the design of the dishes was amazing. Like work of art! Definetely recommended to try it was really a great experience!

GREAT restaurant. Based on the clientele, it appears to be a local favorite. Food is delicious and I just love the vibe. Staff is very helpful. I was dining solo (which normally I love but here, I would have liked to have had company so I could order/share more dishes). As it is, I ordered 4 items off the a la carte menu. The Pulled Pork Belly with cucumber, spices and lettuce was the hands-down winner - absolutely one of the MOST delicious things I've eaten in a long while. Plus the presentation is fantastic - my photos do not do it justice. Other dishes I ordered included the Milk Bread with Parmesan and Truffles (v. good), the rice cakes with guanciale and kimchi (this was good but perhaps a bit too salty and the tteokbokki just missed the mark vs. the many times I've had them at favorite korean restaurants. For dessert I got the strawberry white chocolate, miso, and hibiscus concoction which could stand simplification. BOTTOM LINE: The vibe/style here is amazing (it's a very contemporary spin on gemütlichkeit). And OMG that pulled pork dish is STELLAR!!

I had the most incredible dining experience here! The food was sooo good. Every dish was a work of art. The staff attention to details was truly remarkable: we never had an empty glass or a dirty plate on the table. The wine pairing was also really good. The sommelier has a deep understanding of wine pairing, enhancing our dining experience even further. My favourite bite was the venison cheek at the beginning and the kaiseki style pudding. This is more than just a restaurant; it's an experience. If you're looking for a place to celebrate a special occasion or simply try new dishes this is the place to be. Thank you all for making our dinner so special!
