Visit Switzerland: Neue Tavern

We had a 10-hour layover in Zurich, so we decided to take advantage of our time there and browse, shop, and eat.

We ate at 1-Michelin Star Neue Tavern, a charming eatery that features vegetarian and vegan fare.

KFC Cauliflower

Braised Leek / Potato Espuma / Vegan Caviar / Truffle

Braised Chicory / Orange / Labneh / Nasturtium

Sourdough Bread / Dip 

Burrata / Warm Vegetable Salad / Furikake

Okonomiyaki / Cabbage / Shiitake 

I love vegetarian foods and don't eat a lot of meat, so I was very much looking forward to dining at Neue Tavern.

The KFC Cauliflower was my favorite dish.  It had a nice kick of heat to it, and was very reminiscent of popular chicken dishes with the same sweet and spicy sauce.

The Burrata was delicious as well - so creamy, pairing nicely with the accompanying greens, although they initially forgot to put the furikake on (when I made note of it to our server after we had already dug in and realized it was missing, he took the dish and brought it back with furikake on top, versus bring us a side of furikake, which is what I thought he would do).  

My friends thought the Okonomiyaki was on the bland side, but I liked it.  

The meal was lovely, and although I have tried some of the dishes before elsewhere, I did appreciate the simplicity and variety, and the staff was very friendly and welcoming (even encouraging us to go inside to see the kitchen).
