One of the most hip and sought-after restaurants in Zurich today is housed within a severe-looking factory built during the 19th century to manufacture boats and lake cruisers. Today it's the centerpiece of an urban renewal known as Zurich-West. The restaurant is enclosed within an enormous but delicate-looking high-tech box of steel beams and Plexiglas, all of it suspended from the building's ceiling and redbrick walls. Centered within the area's core is a massive blown-glass (Murano) chandelier. Menu items seem deceptively simple when listed on the stark-white menu, and except for an occasional gaffe, are incredibly flavor-filled and artful upon delivery. Examples include vitello tonnato (filets of veal with Italian-style tuna sauce); homemade terrine; thinly sliced veal liver Provençal; filets of pikeperch with spinach and coconut milk; cannelloni with ricotta, spinach, and a truffle-flavored cream sauce; and a vegetarian version of tortilla with guacamole and sour cream. There are also daily variations of fish, vegetarian dishes, and raviolis of the day.
