Restaurant Rietberg, Waffenplatzstrasse, Zurich

Fleischkäsecordonbleu

After the last episode of Lost we’re confused but at least we’re under the impression that time travel is possible. While others need weird islands and mysterious energy sources, ordinary people like your favorite food critic just walk into the Restaurant Rietberg. With its wooden panelling (halfway up to the ceiling) and the older place mats it takes you way back. One of my old time favourites a cordon bleu made out of meat loaf instead of veal was on the menu and served with fries. Certainly not something to take on Noma, but it was homemade and absolutely comfy. A nice touch is the homemade spicy cocktail sauce which was served together with the ketchup. Prices are almost ancient as well:
