Great burger, but rather insane prices: Restaurant Aurora (4. July 2024)
It’s a few years ago since I’ve last been to the Aurora – and while I had good memories of it in terms of quality of the food, I did not recall how expensive it was. Frankly, the dish I’ve picked was actually the cheapest one on the whole menu, and everything else was easily around CHF 50 or more. I mean, sure, that’s somehow normal in Zurich, but that they absolutely do not offer any kind of lunch menu is somewhat surprising.
In any case, the place is quite nice and, despite only a few meters off Bahnhofstrasse, actually surprisingly quiet, even if you sit outside. That being said, the staff is nice and friendly and actually makes sure that you feel comfortable and your food and beverages are served relatively swiftly. I went for the “Aurora Beef Burger (Swiss cheese, lettuce, stewed onions, chipotle sauce)” (CHF 36.00) with “creamy leave spinach” (CHF 7.50) on the side. And while I was a bit surprised by the price for the side, I must say, the spinach was actually super enjoyable and also a rather large portion, which I had not expected. On top of that, the burger was actually good, from bun to patty to bun.
So, all in all, the Aurora is in a nice location, you’re just off Bahnhofstrasse and the atmosphere is nice. The staff is friendly and also relatively swift. And the food is good – I just find the average price of the dishes a bit out of the normal to be honest. But other than that, nice spot.
