The Kindli is situated in a stately old -  town house just off Rennweg and serves solid food not just from Switzerland in a refined atmosphere. At the Kindli they do everything with a little extra , the Zurich classic geschhnetzeites (veal in bite sized pieces)  for example is done here with filet of veal. Besides classics there are fish and beef specialities on the menu. Leave room for the dessert , the cafe is excellent.

This is extraordinary avant-garde cuisine in a comfortable and easy-going interior, where the homely white wooden panelling sets the mood.  The menu created by chefs Fabian Spiquel und Marcello Drovandi changes frequently and features molecular cuisine as well as other unusual cooking styles (we had an onsen egg, cooked 20 minutes at exactly 68 C giving it a special wax-like consistency). You simply choose as many of the dishes as you like - there are a dozen or more available - or go for the 5 - dish menu (around   .....fr). It's amazing the tastes they create here.  And with a very tender steak they also offer some less out-of-the-ordinary, options. Recommended.

The Bite is the latest of a handful of burger restaurants that have recently opened in the city. - burgers seem to back on the locals' hitlist.  The Bite convinced us with their Classic burger - it was one of the best we have had for a long time. The beef was fried to perfection , the blend delicious and the cheddar cheese, the shallots and the sauces a great match. The home-made ketchup and cocktail sauces which came with the fries went down well too.  We could do without some of the arty chichi - the drinks are served in jars and the burgers come on a wooden chopping boards - but we would always come back for these burgers.
