I have just finished a 20+ person buffet brunch for my daughter's First Communion at the Fork and Bottle. After eating dinner here and having a look at the upstairs room, I knew the place was perfect for our event. First - Mike was great to work with. Despite being on vacation, he emailed with me regularly and helped with... More

I just got back from Mothers Day Brunch, my first visit, and I can guarantee I will be back for many more. I had been following this place on Facebook for a while, and now I'm mad I didn't go sooner. I emailed last night for reservations today, and Michael got back to me quickly. I went with my hubby... More

I had a follow-up visit here in early May since my first review in March. I do not like to write reviews of the same restaurant in such a short time, but I wanted to say how thoroughly disappointed I was with this second visit. On this visit, I ordered a large beer CHF 6 and a burger with potato... More

My husband & I have lived in Zurich for 5 years and have constantly struggled to find a restaurant that is worth the 'Zurich prices.' Then, Fork & Bottle opened about a year ago, charges far, far less than the average Zurich price, has an inspired menu, delicious craft beers, special events, great brunches, a lovely beer garden & spin...

Can't say enough great things about it...food is fantastic (my favorites are the wings, ribs, artichoke dip), beer menu best in the city (especially if you are as bored with lager and weissbier as I am), and the comfort of being able to hang somewhere for hours, including with young kids, makes this place our favorite. Owner will take time... More

What can I say.. I have had the whole Sunday Brunch menu at least twice and its STILL so difficult to decide what to order when I go as everything is just sooo delicious! My absolute fav are the Eggs Benedict and close second is the California Breakfast Burrito. I can't resist the cinnamon rolls so if someone orders the... More

We've been semi-regular visits to the Fork and Bottle since it opened. It's great what the American owners are trying to do i.e. bring a gastro pub to Zürich. Their ideas are fantastic and the menu choices are always extremely attractive. The beer selection is wonderful - with a super selection of artisan beers by the bottle. There's a beer... More

I was in Zurich for business from Boston, MA and had a weekend stay in Zurich (02 March 2013). I found Fork and Bottle on TripAdvisor, and I have to say it was even better than the great reviews had me expect. Mike (an ex-pat also from the Boston area), the owner, has a very creative kitchen, and curates a... More

All main courses are huge and really heavy, tasty but unhealthy side. Small home cooked menu that changes t the regular basis. Very long list of beers that the master can explain and choose the perfect match for you. The reasons that I give only four stars are there's really no light choices which some people do need foe some... More

You can feel the love and effort behind each dish! Great service. We had an event there for 40 friends. No order was too small or too complicated. We'll be back - individually. Thank you owner and staff!
