zurich's fifty best restaurants           welcome

    ORANGERIE                           International

Expect to be awed by the architecture at Orangerie, but the cuisine is what makes a lasting impression here. Start with the warm Smoked and Marinated Scottish Salmon tartar, or Fillets of Perch. Then indulge yourself with Veal Cordon-Bleu, or the sliced Chicken Breast in red curry sauce with banana and Siamese rice. During the warm summer months, dine outside in their idyllic garden underneath the shade trees. Well priced wine list.
