GUSTAV Restaurant & Bar

Came here for our ten year wedding anniversary for something special. Greeted by very friendly staff, dining area is beautiful, food is very creative and very well presented. The 'surprise' 5 or 6 course menu is a great experience and the wine selection is great.

Went there on a Saturday night for dinner. Our evening started with different Champagne being presented on a trolley and explained by the sommelier, which made it easy to choose your favorite one. Accompanied by some delicious small bites, served by the highly professional staff. The menues were then presented to us and you can either go for a several course suprise menu or choose your dishes a la carte. We went with the a la carte option, as there were several dishes we really wanted to try. We started with their famous Tatar and home made Orecchiette, both really tasty. The Sommelier suprised us with a really good bottle of spanish Garnacha that really hit our preferences. For our mains we decided on their Bouillabaise and venison. Both again super flavorful, cooked perfectly and of a very high quality. Yummy. Being pretty full already after our mains we decided to share a dessert and went with their Lemon Tarte. For us, the perfect choice, full of flavor again and a perfect way to end dinner. All in all we had a fantastic night out, loved all their food and would love to dine there again. But sadly, they will close by the end of the year.

What a wonderful restaurant! The staff are very polite and attentive. The champagne trolley and gin cart are an amazing touch. Have a cocktail crafted tableside is just one of the many things that makes the experience amazing. The surprise multicourse meal was delicious with each dish expertly prepared. The champagne and wine lists are extensive. If you're looking for a nice upscale meal while visiting Zurich this is a must visit!

A truly amazing experience. The staff is efficient, professional and friendly. They are very attentive and ready to do their best. I can’t wait to come back again :) I really enjoy the experience.

Had a great experience here! Lovely staff, delicious food and amazing wine! Totally recommend!

Affordable (by Zurich terms) Michelin star lunch.

Excellent food and service in a quiet and reserved setting.

We came here for Valentine's Day and it was really incredible. The menu was just amazing, food was delicious and beautifully plated. The ambiance is very nice and service very friendly. I cannot comment too much on the wine list, as we just had 2 open glasses suggested by the sommelier. Will definitely try to come back for a more detailed review.

Great place to go - I still can't decide to give my first 5 star rating. That's what I like in Switzerland - if you go to a rated gourmet restaurant you know what you will experience and normally you will not be disappointed. You can go to a 1 or 2 Michelin star restaurant in NYC and can have a very disappointing experience only thing to be sure about is the high check you will get. Gustav is a gourmet temple with Antonio Colaiannis as Chef. He is just great. We had a table reservation for two at a Wednesday night 7pm the restaurant was getting surprisingly busy. Front desk service was very friendly the atmosphere of the restaurant is very welcoming, they have about 80 seats but enough room between the tables to feel comfortable. We were a little early, so we decided to take a drink at the bar. They have a lovely Champagne wagon with a good choice. If I see a Champagne Jacquesson I have an easy choice. We had a glass (respectively two) of the 741 where the year 2013 is dominating. After a while we asked to go to our table. They have well trained service staff - really knowing what to do on this level. There is a small "a la carte" choice with quite reasonable prices for a gourmet temple and Zurich. You can also have a menu surprise with a choice of 3, 4, 5 or 6 courses. We went for the 5 courses option asking to have one course with the fresh Truffel (Toscana) they presented up front and naturally you have to taste the "Bouillabaisse" from Chef Cloaiannis - it's probably one of the best in the world for sure wherever I personally had one. Before starting of with the 5 course dinner - you get a "Amuse-Bouche" from the kitchen and more special a second one from the service - makes it really nice (and we should have gone for the 4-course option ;-) ). We asked for the Sommelier for getting a good wine recommendation with the menu. I was with my son - himself a Chef and Sommelier - so those two were starting a very healthy discussion ending in - that the Sommelier brought us a wine not on the wine list. A Malanser Completer (grape I think only available in Switzerland) from Giani Boner 2005. I know most of you don't expect Switzerland as a Wine country but if you ever have the chance to drink a Completer (especially from Boner - because of the oxidative treatment) you will definitely like it and asked the question "can a wine taste like that?". Switzerland has also some other really nice wines. If I would describe now all the courses this review will not end - just a small sentence "All was really wonderful". Service was great and at the end ... yes, the check was also high but worth every Dollar (Sorry, Swiss Franc).

Very trendy but comfortable ambiance cafe. Prices are very reasonable for location as Cappuccino, latte and beer only 5 CHF! It's walking distance from HB, next to Europaalle. No view but it's OK. Friendly service. I saw Flammkuchen on the menu so I will visit to try it soon
