"This restaurant is located in a lively residential area. Plenty of Swiss produce goes into the modern seasonal dishes, which are created in the partially visible kitchen. The restaurant is just as committed to sustainability as it is to wine – selected by connoisseurs, the distinctive wine list is testament to a true passion for the grape. British-born chef George Tomlin, previously sous-chef at London's The Clove Club, expresses his creative streak in dishes such as grilled slices of elm mushroom with roasted black onions and a creamy buttermilk and roasted yeast espuma. You can opt to go à la carte or take the five-course tasting menu (also vegetarian). The vibe is deliberately kept simple, with a decor boasting clean lines, and there is a nice terrace outside, in front of this corner plot. The service is friendly and laid back. Just the sort of restaurant you would want in your neighbourhood!" - Michelin Inspector

This goes directly in my top 3 restaurants in Zürich! ❣️ Everything we tried was absolutely delicious! The staff was also very friendly and I loved the intimate atmosphere of the place. Unfortunately, I did not take very good photos because of the low lighting during dinner time, but please trust me on this one - this restauranf it is a must try! ❣️

I didn’t appreciate that if one or two people at the table want to have the tasting menu the whole table is forced to have it. This should be communicated in advance of taking the order and/or noted on the menu. The the food was decent - I agree that for the price the quantities were very small and unfortunately we did not get to try some of the plates we wanted to try due to the above rule. Wine list was great - very good knowledge and recommendations.

Loved our celebration dinner at Silex! The place has such a cool, minimal yet fun vibe with lots of attention to the details. The staff were super friendly and really attentive, which made the experience even better. For us, the orange wine was a highlight, and every dish we had was so unique and filled with flavor. Plus, our dogs were welcomed and got a special little corner next to the garden door, which was a huge bonus 😊 Cannot wait to be back!

Incredibly thoughtful, well rounded tasting menu focused on local ingredients and superb natural wine pairing for the vegetarian and meat 5-course tasting menu. Friendly, professional, multi lingual staff deserves a big compliment. Quality-wise, it's excellent price-quality by the strange (expensive) standards of Zurich, but many of the wines by the glass and bar snacks are very decently priced. In one word: go!

The best dining experience I’ve been lucky enough to enjoy in Zurich! Service is impeccable, we had the tasting menu and they accommodated to each individual dislikes or allergies. Like this they made sure we all had a perfect experiences that fit our tastes. Our waiter recommended the most delicious wines - we stayed many many hours. Portions are just right, the explanations with each dish I cannot repeat but it created a great atmosphere knowing where our food came from. If you are looking for an experience this is your place, their terrace is lovely as well.

Go to Silex if you're into good wine and complex, unusual flavors—they definitely don’t do anything average here! I was especially impressed by the oyster mushroom starter and the liver pappardelle—both were packed with flavor. Our waiter was fantastic—not just great at his job, but also super friendly and really made our visit special. We had a good laugh—thank you!

Had a wonderful experience at Restaurant Silex on Monday. We enjoyed a bottle of amazing red wine, and the salsify was absolutely fantastic — definitely a must-try! The service was excellent: attentive, friendly, and professional throughout the evening. Looking forward to coming back again soon!
