Oberes Triemli, Triemli, Zurich

Zwiebelsuppe

Beefsteak Tatare

Herrensiedfleisch

Coupe Danmark

What’s happiness for a food critic ? Finding a nice restaurant by chance. The Oberes Triemli was such a find. A nice interior with wood, classy white table linen and a large stone oven. Of course the nice table we get is in the other room just next to the corridor, but I was willing to overlook that. The place is old school, has been run by the same family for over five generations and is very well kept. The menu is so classic swiss fine dining, that it’s a lovely read. I start off with a onion soup and followed with some Beefsteak Tatare. But the real kicker was the boiled beef. It was served together with a huge marrow bone and four different sauces. Now I wouldn’t have needed all of them, but it shows the love. Finishing it off my favourite dessert as a child, Coupe Danmark. It was authentic even carrying the typical decoration. If you’re looking for nice swiss classic dining (and surprisingly they have an english menu) – this is the place to go, since it’s okay pricewise, has the real interior and good food. BTW – do try the wines from Jürg Saxer in Neftenbach, they’re surprisingly good. Prices:
