Two Stars: Excellent cooking

After a successful stint at two-star restaurant 7132 Silver in Vals, Mitja Birlo has made the move to Zurich. Here, in an impressive building next to the main railway station – a prime city-centre location – he unleashes his cosmopolitan culinary concept. In a relaxed, modern and elegant interior, diners take their seats on comfortable bar chairs at the eponymous counter right next to the open kitchen to observe the creation of a surprise menu of numerous exciting delicacies, some larger, some smaller. One example is their sophisticated take on celeriac: it is served as a roasted slice, as an aromatic purée and as a tower of thinly sliced "celeriac pastrami", finished with a fantastic sauce that exudes the fruity, earthy tones of beetroot and the pleasingly mild spiciness of black pepper. In addition ot excellent wine pairings, there is a high-calibre alcohol-free alternative. The accomplished service team led by Florentina Birlo ensures that everything runs smoothly. Smaller groups can also reserve the Chef's Table.
