Amazing atmosphere on the terrace – especially on a hot summer day: Restaurant TAO’s (13. June 2017)
Given its location, the TAO’s is definitely not one of the cheaper places in Zurich. However, at least for lunch, you can mange to find something decent, so I went for the “TAO’s Caesar salad with romain lettuce, egg, avocado, and ginger sesame dressing” (CHF 22.00) which was a decent portion and a light and tasty starter.
The “steamed handmade Dim Sum – mixed (filled with duck, beef, and shrimp)” (CHF 38.00) were definitely good. However, after just coming back from Taiwan where I had ‘original dumplings’, it was just somehow not the same anymore. Definitely still good, no doubt about that, but I guess I would have been more impressed if I didn’t just come back from Taiwan.
What I liked a lot too was the “bread with curry dip”. I mean, the dip was rather simple but the bread was great in terms of taste and texture. The service is friendly and also rather swift which – I think – is a key element if you want to enjoy a lunch during the week – and you’re not on vacation.
I like the atmosphere in the TAO’s a lot – you get to sit outside in the shadows enjoying the summer without sweating your suit through. Definitely a plus. Just make sure to book your table in advance as the place gets super crowded during lunch.

I started the blog in October 2009, while living in Milan which I definitely consider to be one of the food capitals of the world. I was in touch with food since my early childhood (as my father is a former chef). Whenever I can, I travel the world to discover new places, to meet people but mostly to try local dishes and to find hidden gems! If you know a place worth going, please drop a line to: info@thediningexperience.org.
