Weisses Rössli, Bederstrasse, Zurich

Fenchelsalat

Pasta mit Kalbsvoressen

Mousse au chocolat

The Weisses Rössli is the typical place you walk by day after day and you do not even realise that it’s there. Upon closer inspection it sports 13 Gault Millau points and on the inside clearly a powerhouse air. On Fridays a couple of the patrons will smoke cigars after lunch. The menu is a bit confusing, that’s why on lunch it pays to go with the special of the day. This day the appetizer was a fennel salad. A slight bitternes to it, well executed and a nice change up to the regular soup or plain salad you get elsewhere. The Rössli prides itself on the pasta and the main dish was veal ragout with noodles. This dish almost made me cry, everything was perfectly cooked and the sauce was simply to die for. Complex, rich and simply full of love. My inner lust and desire for food was stirred and my craving increased. To finish up I ordered a chocolate mousse, nicely accompanied with some strawberry sauce. Looking at the presentation it became obvious that the cook had a bad incident with a Rorschach test. All in all, my favourite lunch place in Zurich, since 29.50 CHF for an app and a main of this quality is simply unrivaled:
