Restaurante Sein

Restaurant Sein (Schützengasse 5, Zürich) – this one-time rustic inn, in existence for over 100 years, was renovated in 2011 and currently boasts a Michelin star. The short menu ranges from perfectly grilled scallops with orange taglierini and red mustard salad to marinated tuna with fresh green pepper, braised veal cheeks with a coffee jus and lamb rack with sautéed artichokes. But the tasting menus (one vegetarian, one for carnivores) are where Sein’s chef (Martin Surbeck) really goes to town, with five courses of pure heaven, complemented with an extensive, reasonably priced wine-list (chosen by Switzerland’s only master of wine, Philipp Schwander).
