given the price point.

First, the service felt inexperienced. Our server didn’t seem well-versed in the menu or the wine selection, which was disappointing for a restaurant of this caliber.

We ordered the Chateaubriand for two, priced at around 70 CHF per person. The dish was served in two separate platings from the kitchen. The first plate arrived without the wine sauce (pic attached), though we didn’t realize it at the time. While the beef itself was tender, it tasted quite bland without the sauce. It was only when the second plate arrived—with the sauce—that we realized the mistake.

For a restaurant in this price range, such an oversight is unacceptable. When I brought it to the server’s attention and asked her to inform the chef, she simply smiled and apologized. I would have expected some kind of acknowledgment beyond that—perhaps a complimentary drink, dessert, or even a visit from the kitchen staff to personally apologize.

Overall, while the food had potential, the lack of attention to detail and underwhelming service left us disappointed. For the price, I expected much better.

Reservation was easy via Google. Food was not super fantastic but still good & acceptable. Highlight would be the staff nicknamed Dori. Dori was absolutely delightful. She even made special efforts knowing that I came here to celebrate my wife’s birthday. Having experienced so many rounds of bad restaurant services elsewhere, she definitely made our day here. For her amazing service, I must award 5-star rating to Differente.

Fancy yet simple food! 😍
Beautiful presentation with very distinct colourful plates.
The fish was super tender and well cooked. The tartar was unique with 6 types in one plate.
Salad was also very tasty with the perfect seasoning.
Price: ~ 80CHF per person 🍴

Tasty food, nice atmosphere, great service and friendly  personnel. One of the best chefs in Zürich, imho.
Well worth the hike uphill from the center. But be sure to book a table at least an hour in advance, on some night it's quite packed.
Do not miss the deserts, there is a separate menu for them, I almost missed them. And go for the small versions, the big are huge!
Highly recommended!
