Beyond is in a not so cozy sidestreet just next to the Zurich main station. I’ve been here a couple of times and one of the main drives was that I see busloads of apparently chinese tourists having dinner here. There are two types of menu, one an hommage to the fine dining establishment of Suan Long, calling out boring and dumbed down “chinese” dishes. The second one is a mix of english and chinese and has the much more interesting dishes. Now my dining companion was leaning more towards the traditional menus and we mixed and matched. A special notion goes to the scallion pancake, where the crispiness of the pan cake was nicely matched by the fresh crunchiness of the scallions, a great dish for people who have never had it before. It’s certainly not fine dining as in a romantic, first-date setup but if you’re looking for decent Chinese this is certainly in the top three in the Zurich area. Prices:

I love Chinese food when it is well done, so will definitely try this. I am from England and really miss shredded crispy peking duck with pancakes- any ideas where I can find this in Zurich?

In Zurich you’ll typically find it as the first course of a Peking duck meal. Some classic places include the . I’ve also had pretty good one at the even if I don’t like Suan Long places. I’ve heard that the duck dish at is good, but to me it looks more like a lunch place.
