When in Zürich I went for lunch at the restaurant Kindli. The restaurant has quite a bit of atmosphere, let down a little in the back of the restaurant itself. The service was accurate. The glass of white wine was lovely. Since it was lunch, I only took a salad and a risotto. The first was average, but the risotto... More

We loved Kindli so much we went there twice during a 5 night business trip to Zurich. The "Zurich style" veal with mushroom cream sauce and rosti was to die for. I think it may be responsible for the few extra pounds I brought home with me, but it was well worth it! The restaurant is located in old town... More

I think the title says it all. Had some wonderful wine and a delicious piece of fish, which were top notch. The place is right in the middle of the city, and this looked like the place to be for business meals. The service was excellent, my phone had actually run out of battery and the hostess went up stairs... More

In the old town, I came across this place by chance while exploring the older part of the city. Seeing inside what appeared to be a lot of locals (including business people), I ventured in. I was not disappointed. I had the roast beef and potato-type salad, followed by a Thai flavoured vegi dish (I forget its exact title). Reasonable... More

The restaurant oozes atmosphere in this old building right at the heart of zurich's historic centre. Packed full of people all seemingly having a great time enjoying their delicious food. I have eaten here on a few occasions now and the attentive service, food quality and overall "package" is a winner. I suggest you examine the website's menu to get... More

We had a very romantic and delicious Valentine's Day dinner at the Restaurant Kindli. Well-situated in the old part of town, the interior of this restaurant felt warm and inviting. It was an upscale place and the menu offerings were varied and everything we ordered was delicious. Not cheap by any means, but not much in Zurich is these days.... More

Kindli was a great restaurant, but there was no one there, the food was great, but it lacked ambiance because it was so empty. The most expensive of the three restaurants that I ate in, in Zurich.

A great spot for lunch or dinner right in the heart of the old town at the top of Rennweg. Traditional decor with ighter modern touches, I loved the checkered vases of flowers. Quick, efficient service at lunch time. Good selection of traditional and modern, asian dishes.

I had dinner with my family at Kindli this week. All I can say is GREAT. Service was efficient and professional, food cooked to perfection and served quickly. If I have to say something negative, a place like this shopuld serve some little snacks while you choose your dinner. We ordered truffle rissotto and truffle pasta. Both excellent. Fish was... More
