Frommer's Review

Entering this restaurant, immediately adjacent to the Hotel Bristol, you'll find yourself within what has been called Switzerland's "unofficial Parliament headquarters." The ground-floor dining room, which doubles as a cafe during the morning and afternoon, contains the day's newspapers. You'll find a quieter, more formal dining room upstairs. The menu features Continental and Italian dishes, such as bollito misto (a medley of mixed boiled meats) and rack of lamb. Two local favorites are the ravioli maison and the fried zucchini; a popular meat specialty is a filet mignon a la bordelaise with Creole rice. For the more adventurous, try the boiled veal head served with onions, tomatoes, and potatoes with an herbed vinaigrette. The cuisine is very authentic, very savory, and very satisfying.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
