Zunfthaus zur Waag

A restaurant that is very popular among Zurich locals, located on the square of the Frauenkirche (Münsterhof), has a history of more than 700 years. This was once the home of the private doctor of the Frauenkirche convent. Later, he sold the building to the Linen Weavers Guild, one of the seven oldest guilds in Zurich. Today, some weaving scenes can still be seen on the stained glass windows of the restaurant. The owner of the restaurant, Sepp Wimmer, took me to visit each floor. The dense badges on the wall were the symbols of the guild members. The left side was the time when the company was founded, and the back was the time when he joined the guild. The fountain on the square is also his magic for holding events: "I can make the fountain spray out fine wine and fill the entire pool." I still ordered my favorite Zurich veal (Zürcher Geschnetzeltes). Unlike many other restaurants that are used to slicing or shredding beef, the beef in this restaurant is cut into large pieces, the meat is more tender, and the potato cakes are thicker. In addition, pan-fried duck liver with cherry port wine sauce is also a specialty here.

This restaurant is located in the old city. It is not big but has a long history. It is also very close to the city government. The restaurant's red wine steak is very good and the dishes are quite rich. It is typical that the store is very low-key and the taste is very surprising.

The dishes are quite creative, and each dish focuses on the combination of meat and vegetables, which Asians prefer. Eating only meat can make your stomach uncomfortable. This restaurant is the most satisfying one I've eaten in Zurich.

I knew I needed to make a reservation in advance, so I went in and made a reservation for dinner when I passed by at noon. I didn't expect it to be successful! The restaurant environment is retro and elegant, with a very European style! The main course is very large, so my mother and I ordered a main course plus two glasses of white wine! One main course is a local Swiss specialty, fried potato cakes with beef and mushrooms, which tastes quite good! Another order is fish with Italian round rice. The fish is as fresh and tender as the legend says, and it is very delicious! The white wine was recommended by the waiter. It is produced locally in Switzerland and costs only more than 50 RMB a glass. The cost performance is super high!

The interior of the restaurant is quite interesting, with family crests of important members of the Chamber of Commerce and stained glass windows on the wall panels. Come here to taste Zurich's famous dishes! Veal with mushrooms and served with beef tenderloin - this combination is highly praised by all fans of traditional delicious cooking.
