Brunnentor-Schnitzelbaron - Uster

Our family always ends summer vacation with a nice dinner...but not this year...We made our first and last reservation here. Oversalted menu, low level of service and apology gummi bärli ???? Never again, unfortunately 200 CHF in the trash....

The food here is relatively simple, but delicious! People go for the Schnitzel, and that is what you will see served all around you. It is absolutely top notch! Thin, crispy, tasty. You can see from the pictures it's big. There's a small size available too. The chips are delicious, crispy and well seasoned. You also get some tasty vegetables on the side. I didn't give the full 5 points cause the restaurant doesn't have special ambiance. It's simple, comfortable and unpretentious, but nothing special. Just your local eatery. You can also get locally brewed beer. Try it!

We went to Brunnentor on a double date last Saturday and had a great dinner. As a hotelier I respect restaurants that not only get it right, but do so consistently. It's easy for Michelin starred restaurants to do it with their ridiculously exorbitant prices and their large kitchen brigades, it's much tougher to achieve this level when in a local casual dining restaurant with limited resources. I have been going to this place for years and the food service is always great, always the same. As always, I ordered a large pork schnitzel with carrots and spinach only, no fries. The veggies here are absolutely awesome, perfectly seasoned, cooked to perfection. I love the combination of greasy deep fried schnitzel with umami spinach and tender carrot batonets. If you are into your fries then yes please order them. They are seasoned with a flavour enhancer and are pretty tasty. For starters we ordered 2 Nüsslisalats Mimosa (lambs lettuce salad, chopped boiled egg) and a steak tartare. The salad was fine, nothing special, the dressing tasted store bought and this could easily have been tossed up at home by a novice. I don't normally order Steak Tartare as I am simply not a lover of raw minced beef. Carpaccio I enjoy but not tartare. Nevertheless I did taste some from my friend and it was tasty, perfectly seasoned with a hint of spice. For mains everyone ordered a schnitzel and everyone enjoyed what they were served. Fried thinly battered and bread crumbed pork or veal. For desserts we ordered a Black Forest ice cream ball and a coupe, both good. This is our local and we will return. Thanks very much.
