Although we were recommended Opus by the Marriott hotel where we were staying, we didn't really fancy it from the outside. It looked rather panEuropean and lacking in atmosphere, lots of space outside but we were looking late at night. Having found many other restaurants had already closed by 9.30, we found it was our only option. Although there were... More

Me and my wife had a dinner in the vinotek. The food is good, we had a meal from the buffet but they have also dishes like pasta, fish, etc. we went there specialy for a "live" concert from a swiss artist. The atmosphere is great , service is good, and if you gave a table in the vinotek, than... More

Exellent place to go after work, meet some friends or just hang at the wine bar and enjoy top wines by the glass. I had the chance to try wines that I would have never ordered by the bottle since they are quite expensive. I tried Opus One, Sassicaia, Tignanello, Gantenbein among others. Just try it out, and order a... More

We happened upon this lovely riverfront restaurant in early May...too cold to eat outside but the menu looked fabulous...and the food was outstanding! I had carrot-vanilla-ginger soup (gotta try to replicate this at home...omg) and a lovely small cannelloni. My companion had a chicken pot pie with a HUGE puffed pastry crust...we took a photo because it was spectacular! And... More

The restaurant is by the river, has a good open salad buffet. we have been there 3-4 times and enjoyed every time. Brunch in summer months is very nice and quite well priced.

Today i decided to have fancy lunch by myself.They have excellent salad-anti pasti bar. Many different choice.İf you are not that hungry just have a large plate of salad and nice glasa of wine. They have different daily combo monus as well. Soup+sphagetti with big prawns and salad costs around CHF30. İ also like the ambiance.

Restaurant Opus is in a terrific location right on the river in new town. The dining area is "cozy" with tables very close together. Thankfully, the lunch crowd was light the day I was there and we weren't forced to have close neighbors. Huge wine selection with reasonable prices for many. I had the pumpkin soup and tuna carpaccio salad... More

As most places were closed we were pleased that opus was open. We were squashed next to another couple - there are lots of tables close together - although the dining area is lovely so wasnt too bad. The lamb shank was the best meal I had in Switzerland. The wine list was superb with lots of Swiss wines. A... More

The restaurant is a great place to choose a good wine, but the food is absolutely overprized, as the prices ara too high for the quality of the food. Is not bad, but you can expect more of what you are paying. We got a cordon blu meat and various starters. For us ( we go to a lot of... More
