Steigenberger Hotel Bellerive au Lac

It was a lovely surprise to discover Studio Bellerive. Excellent service, cosy ambiance and great food-: . I recommend 100% this restaurant.

Sunday/ 2nd day of Christmas/ rainy day grey what a highlight to find in Zurich a lunch place with super friendly professional service, while being relaxed and enjoying good food. Will return to test the dinner menu!

The Steingenberger hotels are well known in Germany, stylish, boutique-y with excellent service. In Zurich, the new restaurant VIVUS offers both light or traditional fare, contemporary decor and great warm service. Prices are medium-high typical for Zurich. Worth discovering, nice view too.

Very few reviews so I as skeptical. Why aren't people coming here if it is good? Well, we took a shot with some other couples.First, great lake views. You can see people strolling in the evening from the second floor windows. Lovely setting on the covered terrace.Second, the wine recommendation. Michael was great. I love it when the som doesn't recommend the most expensive wine on the the list and it turns out to be great. A Pinot from Zurich, Schillerberger, and loved it.Had a lamb salad. Perfectly fresh, beautifully presented, and the lamb was excellent. 5 stars!Our dining had risotto with rabbit. They loved that as well.Main was veal strips and a white fish from the Zurich lake. The strips were good, more typically Swiss - a bit rich - but very tasty. 4 stars. The white fish had a small dollop of foam over black lentils. Very fresh and we loved the combination. 5 stars.Finally the chocolate desert 3 ways. Swiss chocolate, what more can I say.Michael was perfect. Friendly, there when you needed him and able to discuss food and wine knowledgeably. Great evening with friends and frankly more than we expected!

We came for coffee and tea and found a nice place with a great view over the lake of Zurich, the main promenade and street with impressive traffic and cars. All service personnel was very helpful and friendly. Coffees and teas tasted great.
