"A Century-Old Brasserie in the Niederdorf The right bank of the Limmat is home to the busy, cobblestoned Niederdorfstrasse, lined with bustling cafés, bars and restaurants, none more bustling than the sprawling over-a-century-old Johanniter, a can’t-miss-it spot with its giant Swiss and Zurich flags marking its entrance. Inside, patrons dine on huge portions of traditional specialties like raclette (melted cheese served with potatoes and pickled cucumbers and onions) under tall, vaulted ceilings."

Excellent, attentive service. Good food. Went twice during my visit. Spatzle especially recommended. 1) When it says the Cordon Bleu is XL, it means it 🤣 2) The staff have exceptional language skills, flitting quickly between German, Italian and English.

Food is good, service is also good, i just dislike people smoking from outside and it blows insode. Otherwise a good restaurant to try german/swiss food. Our server was vwry sweet in explaining the food, smiled all the time. This place has the crispiest rösti out of all that we have tried

Nice friendly staff - busy place but lots of room. The food is hearty rather than gourmet, but just what we wanted. I had pork hock with boiled potatoes and sauerkraut, which was excellent. The Hurliman beer went well with it. I would happily come here again.

Swiss efficiency at its best. Not really suited for someone who wants to chat and linger with the waitress as she left (to come back later) before I could even open my mouth to answer her question. However, the food was good and traditional, and its delivery was also efficient.

Old style taverna claiming to serve traditional Swiss food, here is the truth: they brought literally 2 slices of raclette heated up in the microwave with 3, I repeat 3 potatoes on the side and some pickled onions and cucumber, this plate was 24€, chips and schnitzel frozen worth 27/28€! No flavour, McDonald taste, where is the traditional food? The dessert? Literally rubbish… without mentioning I was sick the whole night after eating in this place, avoid avoid avoid!!!

Very charming restaurant, fair prices for the location, quality of products and service. The waiters helped recommending a typical dish from Zürich and even adapted it to fit a diet constraint. The Spätzli was exquisite, the restaurant is well decorated, and the overall vibe is very cozy.

Very friendly waiter. Did not take us long to order and it did not take them too long to bring the food. I had the XL Cordon Bleu. It looks good but not like XL. But once uou start eating you indeed notice its XL. I was struggling in the end to eat the whole cordon bleu with all the fries. It was really delicious, thiugh the cheese could have had a bit more flavour. Nevertheless I did not eat anything for the rest of the day as it was so much!

the place is spartan, not well-kept, there is no music at all. disappointment for the dishes, they all seemed frozen, and embarrassing quantities. for the raclette they brought us only three small boiled potatoes. dessert to forget. the only positive note is the friendly, kind, helpful and fast service
