This is not just a restaurant, it's a cultural institution within Zurich. It's small and therefore usually fully booked, so be sure to reserve well in advance. It's the cheaper of the two restaurants in the immediate Münsterhof area, the other being Tobias and Sabrina Buholzer's high-class, high-price restaurant.
I ate a delicious duck liver entrée for just CHF 28.50. Quite a price, for a restaurant in a prime location in Zurich! The restaurant's style of cooking is Swiss, but not boring, with a few international touches to boot.
Although they are a small restaurant, they employ their own pastry chef quite laudable, all things considered. The pastry chef made a spontaneous, flawless dessert variation. The chocolate mousse was heavily advertised, but was relatively ordinary, especially considering that it should have been Felchlin chocolate (it didn't taste like it). My mousse is better, because I use Felchlin chocolate, too, but use its full potential. Nonetheless, it was a delightful little dessert variation with a beautiful lemon tart, including a rather dainty meringue topping.
Cute, young people serving competently under the watchful eye of Mr. Hoffmann. I can recommend the restaurant to anyone who wants to eat a real piece of Zurich.
