After a successful stint at two-star restaurant 7132 Silver in Vals, Mitja Birlo has made the move to Zurich. In an impressive building next to the main train station – a prime city-centre location – he presents a cosmopolitan culinary concept that is truly one of a kind. In a relaxed, modern and elegant setting, diners take their seats on comfortable bar chairs at the counter right next to the open kitchen to observe the numerous exciting delicacies comprising the surprise menu being created – with the dishes explained by the chefs themselves. A special experience for which it is worth setting aside plenty of time. One dish that impresses with its refinement and superb depth of flavour is the delicate, perfectly steamed turbot combined with radish with subtle Asian seasoning, and a foamy ponzu sauce with a hint of citrus, finished with saffron oil for a winning flourish. Wine or alcohol-free pairings available. Tip: Smaller groups can also reserve the Chef's Table.
