Kronenhalle - Étlap

Simply great cinema. The restaurant, the service and the excellent food cannot be beat. Simply unique. And the high price is justified, especially in Zurich.

I‘ve been to Kronenhalle a couple of times already and always liked the atmosphere and professionalism of the staff, but not this time. The waiter was arrogant, did not make eye contact and he did not even ask us if he could serve a second plate, he just placed it on the table (not even replacing used cutlery) without even asking… as if the food was worthless. The roesti was burnt and salty, but the rest was ok. It‘s a shame how one bad waiter can damage the reputation of a restaurant, which is usually known for good service.

Addendum, long overdue: Even as an occasional guest, you can almost feel at home here. Wonderful! It may be unoriginal to enjoy the sliced meat here but it's worth it! Excellently prepared, delicately seasoned, the rösti is also excellent. The reheating of the second portion over the small gas rechaud was nice to see; experienced and careful, yet completely unaffected. In general, the friendly, natural staff with their unobtrusive manner were always there at the right moment, really perfect and extremely pleasant. We really liked the Zurich Rosé, as did the Gazpacho Andaluz. Overall, one of the most well rounded dining experiences of all time. The only thing that first time visitors need to...
