For our last outing with the ZIWA Dining Around the World group, we met for lunch at the Restaurant Blaue Ente at Zurich Tiefenbrunnen. The journey there from the main station takes 15 minutes by tram and it is located in the courtyard of the Muehle, next to Miller's Studio and the Muehlerama Museum. Sadly it was too wet yesterday to sit outside on the attractive terrace, but inside the restaurant is spacious and features an old mill wheel. Our group of ten ladies received excellent service and we all opted for one of the daily menu choices.
Today's selection featured either a mixed salad or carrot and ginger soup, which was delicious, followed by crispy cod with chervil on a bed of seasonal asparagus and a carrot couli, which most people opted for. We could also choose beef stroganoff with spaetzli or taglierini pasta with chilli. It was all freshly cooked, served hot and tasted delicious. Some of us opted to share a bottle of Austrian Weissburgunder wine, and even splashed out on a second bottle. Drinks and coffee were extra, and bread and a choice of waters were already on the table. The menu cost between CHF 23 for the pasta option to CHF32 for the beef; the fish menu cost CHF27.
Service was very attentive and the restaurant was pleasantly full but spacious. On a fine day it is very pleasant to linger on the terrace, There is also a bistro serving coffee and baked goods, taking advantage of the neighbouring mill museum which produces and sells bread, muesli and other bakery products. The pasta served in the Blaue Ente is the hand made Costa D'Oro brand made locally. And on Friday evenings there is live music in the piano bar.
Have a look at the website link above for all the options and to reserve. It's worth taking the time to find the Blaue Ente for its character, service and delicious food and wine.Viel vergnuegen!
