Chez Marion Zurich - Bezirk Zuerich

A stone's throw from the main pedestrian zone in the Niederdorf and the gigantic public library, you'll find this authentic old time restaurant. While I've heard great reviews from friends regarding the food, I decided to stop in late one morning for a croissant and coffee. The place has got a great vibe, attentive and friendly staff, and is spacious. I can see myself using this place as a meeting point for friends. There is a small street parking lot just outside, but you can access this easily from the tram stop on the river a short walk away. Next time, I'm going to try the crepes!

Chez Marion looks amazing, really nice decor, and the two servers are very friendly....only problem is the food. I really don't mind paying 32fr (about €30) for a hamburger, fries and coke....really i don't but i had it in my head that it would be something special, which it really wasn't. Mcdonalds style fries with way too much salt and a fairly tasteless mcdonalds style hamburger. I honestly don't know who pays for this more than once? Well it won't be me. (You do get some complimentary nice bread and oil). Two other things, you don't get a glass of water, and you are solicited for tips when paying by card (i don't like this!)

Walked into this place having spend 30 minutes looking for a good place to eat. Very friendly service and nothing was too much trouble. Nice 'French' food and interior architecture. Really worth a visit if you have a yen for the Paris café experience (but with friendly people!)

We had limited time and needed lunch before another appointment. Staff were most understanding and accommodating. Loved the pate!

Bistrot kitchen in the old town. I found my club sandwich (26.50 fr.!) quite dry for my tasting especially the chicken breast. Oily French fries. I wasn't very happy, same thing my companion with his hamburger (26.50 + 1.50 cheese + 1.50 bacon). Perhaps I should have tried the gallettes, they looked big and tasty on the other tables.
