Zurich tips by locals – always up to date!

Best place to eat „Zürcher Geschnetzeltes mit Rösti” (Meat cut into strips with creamy sauce and chrunchy cut up potatoes). This dish IS Zürich. Everyone loves it. Everyone! Even vegetarians make an exception. Don’t dare leaving without having tried it. Preferably at the Aargauerhof.

It’s cheaper here than in most other places, but the Rösti is just as crunchy, the meat just as tender and the atmosphere much more homey. In case you do dare leaving without having tried it, cook it at home. Here’s the recipe for the veal/sauce:

(For 4 People)

Veal: Take 600 g veal (cut into strips). Let butter get hot in a frying pan. Mix half a teaspoon of salt and a bit of pepper with 1 tablespoon of flour. Sprinkle the veal with this mixture and fry it shortly. Place the veal on a warmed up plate and place it in the oven (60 degrees) to keep it warm.

Sauce: Let 1 tablespoon of butter get hot in the same pan. Add half an onion that you finely cut up. Add 200 g cut up white mushrooms and one teaspoon lemon juice (fresh !). Pour in 1 dl white wine and let about half of it boil down. Mix 1 dl bouillon, 2 dl of cream and 1 tablespoon corn starch with a whisk and add it to the pan. Boil it all up, while you keep on stiring (about 3 min). Add the veal and season to taste. Sprinkle with fresh parsley.
