zurich

Food:

Le Dezaley: Amazing cheese fondue

Le Cedre: fantastic Lebanese

Restaurant Bauschänzlimore: Great outdoor views of lake and old town, walk-up counter means it's fast, rotisserie chicken is excellent. Often have live music and dancing (which you can skip).

Zeughauskeller: classic beer hall (indoors) with good schnitzel/sausage/etc.; better if you make a reservation

Don Leone: excellent pizza, close to the office

Hiltl: oldest vegetarian; good

Quai 61 (formerly Acqua Seerestaurant): Sheridan says it's good; did team dinner there and it was okay food with good views.

On Sundays, head to a train station, as many places are closed.

Brunch:

Babu's bakery & coffeehouse: good pancakes; get there right when it opens or have a reservation

Sprungli: on weekends they do a reasonable brunch; it's open even though Google Maps says the shop is closed

Dessert:

Confiserie Sprüngli: get Luxembourgerli (macarons); truffles are good too.

Laderach: chocolate

Bars that're good for a drink on the water on a nice summer evening:

Seebad Enge (also called Bade Enge?): right on the lake; good for dipping feet in water

Rimini: can dip your feet in the water while you sip beer; they also have reasonably priced (not so great) pizza; no view of the lake

Rote Fabrik: outdoors on the lake, very low-end

Barfussbar: we didn't actually get in; might be for an older crowd

Bars not on the water:

Tales: good cocktails

Old Crow: good cocktails

Atelier: good cocktails

El Lokal: outdoor tables

Fork & Bottle: in park; also have American-style food
