Located on the top floor of the same building that hosts the Zurich casino, the all new and kind of swanky George boasts a great terrace.  On both sides of the building one can sit outdoors and enjoy the view over the city centre. But George is an allrounder: he offers a long wooden bar, a cosy library lounge and plenty of tables for lunch and dinner. Foodwise he mainly specialises in grilled meat, steaks and similar and some seafood.  Very solid indeed.  A piano player sees to it that you get into a relaxed mood when you visit George.
