    We had one full day in Zurich, Switzerland, and I wanted to make the most of it by going on a Swiss food tour, eating as much food as possible, and walking around and seeing some of the most famou sights and attractions in the beautiful city of Zurich.
    Here are all the details about everything you’ll find in this video:
    Zürich, Switzerland
    Café Henrici - To begin the day for Swiss breakfast, we stopped to have a cup of coffee, and also I wanted a croissant, but they were all out of the morning already, so I settled for a few small slices of bread. It was excellent.
    Total price for 3 people - 24.40 CHF ($25.75)
    Lindenhof Hill - This is a great place to get a view over Old Zurich, and it puts the city into perspective and helps you get your bearings, and the views are beautiful.
    Swiss Chuchi - Thank you to Marcel for this recommendation. In Switzerland for a single day, I needed to eat one of the most well known of all Swiss food, cheese fondue. At Swiss Chuchi restaurant, we enjoyed both cheese fondue and raclette, both of which were excellent and the most cheese I’ve had in a single meal in a very long time.
    Total price - 126 CHF ($132.98)
    That included all I ate, and 2 other plates of food.
    Grossmünster - This church is one of the most recognizable landmarks of Zurich. For a small fee, you can pay to climb to the top of the tower for an amazing view.
    Price - 4 CHF ($4.22)
    Lake Zurich - The city of Zurich is surrounds Lake Zurich, which is unbelievably clean and pure.
    Kronenhalle Restaurant - This is one of the most legendary and classic restaurants in all of Zurich, Switzerland. I didn’t realized it was so expensive and so high end, but we decided to go for it anyway, because I was looking forward to trying their Zürcher Geschnetzeltes, the most well known of all Zurich Swiss food dishes consisting of thin sliced potato paired with veal stew. It’s quite a stunning dish and the version at Kronenhalle Restaurant was absolutely stunning.
    Total price - 126 CHF ($132.98)
    Bahnhofstrasse Shopping street
    Rheinfelder Bierhalle - To finish off this ultimate Swiss food tour of Zurich in a single day we went to Rheinfelder Bierhalle, a beer hall and restaurant in Zurich. I ordered their specialty, Jumbo Jumbo Cordon Bleu. Cordon bleu is another one of the Swiss food dishes you don’t want to miss when you’re in Zurich.
    Thank you very much for watching this Swiss food tour!

      our country isn't all too special when it comes to culinary delights. but i can tell you we absolutely have the cheese dishes nailed. if you ever visit, my tipp to you would be to try raclette first. it's absolutely godly. slice open a potato and put the melted cheese over it. also, always add a slice of bacon into the pan on top of the cheese. you will love it. try fondue after the raclette. i love it just as much but the cheese is usually a bit more intense.
      let me know if you ever wanna come. i will go with you and whomever you're bringing with you. see you!

    I am from Zurich:
    1. The fondue place is a tourist rip off. not the best quality, small portions and well expensive.
    2. Kronenhalle is very good but also insanely expensive, it is where the rich go and eat and normally 50+ age. One of the top restaurants in Zurich, but rather oldfashioned.
    3 . And the last restaurant (Bierhalle) where he had the jumbo cordonbleu was actually a very good choice. There are not many tourists there and it is classic swiss quality food where the locals go to eat. for Zurich the prices are also okay, they have an expensive location right at the beginning of Niederdorf. thumbs up

      As a swiss studying in Zurich who has never been in the Swiss Chuchi, but thoght about going there once every time I walk by, I might agree now that it's a tourist rip off. If you're able to eat a second lunch only one hour after Fondue AND Raclette, it wasn't enough. After a Fondue (which I love, but rarely eat in a restaurant because it's much cheaper and just as good self made), I'm usually knocked out for the next few hours and wouldn't even think about eating something.

For living, I can't really help, I would recommend comparing prices online.

    Swiss guy here. The last place you went to was crazy expensive. 8.50chf for a salad ? It's the most expensive I've seen. Zurich IS one of the most expensive places in Switzerland. But still that was too much. I hope you enjoyed it though.
    But to the people in the comment section : If you come to Switzerland, please try the restaurants that are not in the middle of the cities. If you get the chance to travel by car, stop in villages. The cuisine is more authentic and way cheaper than that.
    To Mark, I'm so happy you came to Switzerland. Thank you for another great video

    I loved the way you enjoyed the Fondue and Raclette, on a fairly warm day too ! You mixed the ingredients perfectly and the look on your face when shoving those melted cheese portions into your mouth - priceless.
    Traditionally that dish is eaten only during winter. You can imagine, after a day out in the mountains skiing, coming home all exhausted and chilled, that hos fat cheese is the perfect meal to regain lost calories and because a Raclette dinner takes so long (melt cheese, scrap it out on plate, mix it with your potatoe, spices, veggies, eat it in 2 bites....rinse repeat many times...) when you go to bed you are so satisfyingly stuffed with delicious creamy melted cheese and potatoes you sleep like a baby.

  • @tookitogo
    @tookitogo 6 років тому +302

    Zurich isn’t cheap, but you don’t have to spend 126 francs per meal. Swiss Chuchi is a tourist trap (apparently makes competent fondue, but locals never go there), and Kronenhalle is one of the most expensive restaurants in the city (the bar literally has Picassos on the wall). In contrast, the Rheinfelder Bierhalle at the end is a favorite among locals, including me. (I was there just last week.) It’s affordable, down to earth, serves generous portions, provided by salty staff. It’s been famous for its giant cordon bleu for the better part of a century. (But you have to fast the whole day to be hungry enough to finish it at dinner, it’s so big!)

    Watching you experiencing Zurich for your first visit and to see you thoroughly enjoy the food is a treat ! I love Switzerland. The Swiss are very friendly, approachable, and generous. I will offer this suggestion for your future food forays: always ask the locals which restaurants they go to. You will find the best foods at reasonable prices.
    I lived in New Orleans, NYC, and Washington, DC for decades. I am always more than happy to direct tourists to the restaurants that I enjoy. You don't have to break the bank to eat well in any city throughout the world. People who live in destination cities are always happy to point you to the good places and they ( we ) are also happy to direct you away from the " tourist traps".
    Enjoy your journeys and eat well!!

    I see a lot of criticism about the service personal and the prizes so I thought to give some input.
    1. friendliness in service is a thing of luck. I had bad experiences and awesome ones. At least you are not expected to tip if you don’t want to.
    2. Switzerland is expensive. And Zurich is the most expensive city next to Geneva and Lucerne.
    If you have to look after your money, don’t eat in Zurich. Get a Hotel in a city next to it, eat there and just make a trip to Zurich. Switzerland is small so you can reach nearly every major city in no time. Public transport is one of the best all over the world too.
    3. I can‘t stress it enough: only visit Zurich for a daytrip. Instead, discover the beauty of Switzerlands countryside and smaller cities and villages. You‘ll be pleased.

      I was in Lucerne and Geneva a couple of years ago on a training course. The prices were astronomical. It made me think of Gulliver's Travels, although the difference is wealth rather than height. I was in Tunisia just a few months before and I felt like a millionaire! I was richer than almost everyone - a few months later in Geneva I felt like a pauper - looking in shop windows at Items that would take a lifetime of earnings to afford.

    I'm Swiss and I eat Fondue straight off the fork, like everyone I've ever seen. The potato is for the Raclett, like you did on second raclett portion. A fondue tradition is to put an egg into the fondue pot when the cheese is all gone and fry it on that crust.

    Nice that you visited my hometown Mark. Very nice reportage and you truly found some top spots and restaurants. The hot blubbering cheese looks great. Your passion for foods ist infectious. Best marketing for Switzerland, Zurich and Swiss Food! Your smile at 17:13 - just great. From Switzerland Jeremy
