Spitz remains a great place on each and every level: Restaurant Spitz (3. November 2022)
It’s a good six months ago since I’ve last been to the Spitz – and since it’s so central and right next to the main station, it’s a great place to meet. One word of caution though – if you come by car, make sure you come early since they have been scraping all parking lots everywhere in its vicinity, so you might have to do quite a few turns to finally find a place.
Once you’re seated, you’re taken care of pretty much right away and get some “bread and spread” which is nice to start.
I went for the “mandrel prepared in the oven with lemon, parsley, and grilled bread” (CHF 18.00). It was delicious, but it was also a lot. I mean, you get two full mandrels, which is quite a lot. Do not make the mistake to tell them to ask for the main dish in the kitchen right when you get the starter served – they are quicker than you can eat the mandrels.
I went for the “beetroot risotto with caramelized goat cheese, kale, apple, and hazelnuts” (CHF 39.00) which was quite nice and is a much larger portion than it looks like.
The place is lovely, vivid, alive, and yet the tables are a bit apart, which allows for some privacy. The waitress was super lovely, friendly, jovial, and professional at the same time. Really just how service should be – attentive without being in your face either. To sum it up, the Spitz is definitely a place you can and should visit when in Zurich for a nice meal.

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.
Currently, I am a member of the following food-related associations: Chevalier @Chaîne des Rôtisseurs Zurich-Ville; Membre Gourmet Dégustateur @Ordre Mondial des Gourmets Dégustateurs [OMGD]; Gesellschafter @Goldener Fisch and Member @Slowfood Convivium Zurich City.
