Not sure how it got its Google ranking of 4.8 – surely not deserved: Restaurant Huk’s Steakhouse (7. September 2021)

| October 22, 2021 | 0 Comments

It’s really not easy to find a good steakhouse in Zurich. I mean, there are a couple of meat places but a proper steakhouse isn’t really a thing, it seems. When I found the Huk’s on Google and saw that they have a rating of 4.8, I was stocked. I mean, that sounded really like a great place. Once I had arrived, I was already a bit surprised that they had the wrong date for the booking on file but luckily the place wasn’t very crowded so we easily scored a table. And when I saw the menu, I was excited since they offer “heifer” as a special beef – and I was looking forward to trying it. Turns out, they ran out of it. I mean, okay, I get that but frankly, why – if this is kind of your main selling argument – don’t you make sure you have enough in stock?

In any case, with a slight note of disappointment we decided to order something else and I started with the “avocado salad with tomatoes” (CHF 14.80) which sounded boring but turned out to be quite nice in terms of flavor, textures, and salad dressing. Simple, yet appealing. So my mood definitely had improved after this.

As a main, I decided to go for the “Uruguayan beef filet” (300gr) (CHF 52.80) with “spinach” as a side dish and I must say that it was absolutely fine but far from exquisite. The meat was good, the spinach was spinach and the sauces were not even hand-made. So, all in all, not really what I would call a great steakhouse experience.

The fact that the wine menu is ridiculously small and that they had run out also of some of the wines didn’t really add to the whole experience. The waiter was friendly but somehow wasn’t able to memorize what we had ordered – which seems somewhat sub-optimal to be honest, especially since we had ordered exactly the same the two of us. And given the location of the steakhouse is where it is, it doesn’t really add to the whole thing. So, all in all, not a place I can recommend.
