What you see is what you get here: you go there to have a typical swiss/german meal prepared quickly. Nothing special here but nothing bad either. However, the service was bordering rude. Not sure if I would return.

You are looking for a typical, traditional, excellent Swiss Food, in a "old fashioned" restaurant, to a very very affordable price ? And this, in the middle of the city of Zürich. This is the place to go in Zürich. Nowhere else you will be service that quick.

Went here after visiting Zeughauskeller a few days earlier, no comparison. I should have been tipped off when we walked in and the only patrons were men, no offense intended, bad sign. Everything about the place was just ok except the location on Old Town. The service adequate not friendly or efficient. The food definitely was not the highest quality.... More

We went there without reservation and were lucky to get a table. In this restaurant it is not unusual that you have to share a table with other people. Maybe you get in contact with tourists or citicen. The offerings I would call rustic which fits the whole setup and furniture of the restaurant. You get Schnitzel, veal liver, pork... More

A local friend took me to Rheinfelder-Bierhaus for dinner. The waiter definitely had an attitude that was hard to read: was he just plain simply rude, or was he teasing? We went for the teasing option... More

Stayed for a total of 3 nights in Munich and believe it or not, we went to the restaurant 3 times! The attitude of the staff was as expected, rude at first. No smiles and we were rowdily received upon arrival. But.....when we the food we ordered came, it was worth it! The signature item on the menu (can't remember... More

This place in the Niederdorf, reachable by Tram - Stop Helmhaus - primarily is a Restaurant for the knowing Local and this review primarily is a speak in defense of that which makes the "Bloody Thumb" into the place tenderly nicknamed by the Locals. The roughness and grumpiness can perhaps only be understood by Locals and Brits who are capable... More
