Veltliner Keller

Frommer's Review

If endurance and longevity are hallmarks of a good restaurant, this dining room would emerge near the top. Veltliner Keller has been a restaurant since 1551; before that it was a wine cellar. Located next to St. Peter's Church in Old Town, it has an ancient interior of carved mountain pine wood called arve (grown only in Switzerland). The chef prepares familiar Swiss specialties, and does so exceedingly well, including the classic chopped-veal dish of Zurich. Several Italian dishes are also featured, including veal piccata and osso buco. A lot of the seafood is grilled or poached, including salmon. Ingredients change with the season, but you can always count on the house's signature dish, a Veltliner pot -- baked macaroni with meat and beef liver cooked in a casserole.
