DAR Restaurant & Cafe

Great breakfast/brunch spot. We did the full menu tasting and all you can eat option and the food was wonderful. I think it’s a bit of a stretch saying the food is “Moroccan” seeing as it is a Vegan restaurant which is why I gave it 4 stars but the food was delicious. I highly recommend the fried mushrooms (really tastes like Korean Fried Chicken) and the Merguez wraps were very delicious. Left very full and satisfied.

I was pleased with the brunch journey tried at Dar. Although the food came in small(er) portions, at the end of the brunch we were truly full! The brunch journey is truly a great option to try their top dishes. We particularly enjoyed the glazed fried chicken, very crispy! The yoghurt and granola was also interesting and original and had a nice oriental kick. I also enjoyed the Harira, although quite reinterpreted from the original Moroccan one (Dar’s one has more a tomato taste). The durum was underwhelming and I felt it removed some of the originality offered. The same was for the T scramble and the lemon cake, not particularly memorable. I would have definitely proposed some Msemen or Moroccan pancakes, perhaps smaller. The latte was okay - we didn’t know that there was no daily milk. I loved my green tea: right amount of sugar. The espresso was also good. I would recommend Dar, even if once arrived, we had to wait 10 minutes standing (not because it was full, but because waiters wanted to prepare all the tables). Waiters were friendly, the vibe was chilled. It’s nice to see originality in Zurich and I am looking forward to more recipe of Moroccan heritage.

10/10 experience, food was amazing, haven’t ever had such amazing combinations of flavours. Drinks were delicious and so well paired with the food , and the service was exceptional, all the waiters were so kind and attentive. Absolutely loved it, would highly highly recommend :)

Here’s a short, friendly English review you can use: An absolutely incredible and truly exclusive place. DAR is unlike anything else — the food is very unusual, creative, and built around a highly original concept. Every dish feels thoughtfully designed and surprising. I highly recommend everyone to try it at least once — you’ll be amazed by the restaurant’s vision, and your taste buds will experience something completely new. Truly unforgettable!

Somehow the worst customer service I’ve had in Zurich. So so so chaotic. Desserts being served in the middle of lunch, forgotten dishes, drinks served to the wrong table. We had some 4 different servers come to our table, no wonder it was chaotic. And guess what? The food wasn’t anything special.

Great cocktails and nice atmosphere! The food was nice, but we wish we had knew it was vegan while it is indicated as “Mediterranean Restaurant” instead.

The food is fantastic, especially the mushrooms! Service personnel was super friendly and took their time to explain everything to us and double check potential allergies or dislikes, even though the restaurant was quite full. Be aware that it is relatively small and well visited so a reservation is highly recommended and you need to expect some waiting time. It's also Zurich prices for the ala carte items, i.e. around 20-30.- per dish. We shared 4 dishes + a dessert between two people, which was a great amount.

I was extremely disappointed with the food at this so-called Moroccan restaurant. The flavors were completely off and lacked the depth and richness that Moroccan cuisine is known for the Harira is completely lacking the taste of original taste…you can call it tomato soup, tomato soup with chickpeas. We requested couscous, we’ve been told we have couscous salad ?!!! If you advertise yourself as Moroccan, the food should reflect authenticity, quality, and passion. Unfortunately, this was far from it. P.s khobz (bread) was good
