Reviews Summary
Baur's is celebrated for its stunning, elegant decor and vibrant atmosphere, making it a popular spot for romantic dinners and special occasions. While many rave about the superb cocktails and well-executed classic dishes like tartar and veal, some find the food good but not exceptional, with portions on the smaller side and typical Zurich prices, especially for truffle dishes.
"This has to be one of the best restaurants in town. The decor is fabulous, unique and calming at the same time. The food was flavourful, and done to perfection. Highly recommend their white asparagus if you happen to be there in season. All the goodness of asparagus without the bad. The Zurich style veal was mouthwateringly good as well, can highly recommend.
My mother in law and I shared some dishes and they split it for us which is a wonderful touch. Our water glasses were refilled regularly, as were our wine glasses (we got a bottle). They accommodated several people joining us without a fuss.
Overall a wonderful experience and we will be coming back! Do recommend making a reservation in advance (we got in but were staying at the hotel and it was low season)."

"After many years I went bavk to Baur’s. I found a nice deco, retro/liberty style with nice details on lights, vase and floor style. The staff and the service was excellent. The dinner service was good, nice dishes and well prepared. In my case I opted for “alba white truffle” choices and therefore I have to say the dishes (risotto and tagliolini) are not complex. The truffe was excellent. The restaurant is not very big and there are quite a lot of tables, this make the atmosphere a bit noisy, but not excessive. Overall a nice experience! Happy to habe been back to Baur’s"

"Very classy and elegant, the cocktails are good but the food is even better. The carpaccioa and tartar were superb! The linguine with langoustine was too good to be true. If you order the Zurich veal, make sure to include kidneys."
