Raclette Factory : Rindermarkt 1, 8001 Zürich

I had a very relaxing, outdoor lunch here. It was nice to watch the people walk by as I sipped my beer. The service was very kind and very fast. I had three different friendly employees check on me while I was there. Compared to prices at other restaurants, they were one of the most affordable options. The food was delicious too. I had the Klara which was 1/2 fondue over potatoes and half fondue over bread. I enjoyed both but the Heidi (cheese over potatoes) was better than the Peter. The cocktail onions are strangely good with the cheese! So much so, that next time, I’ll ask for more onions. The cheese comes melted over the bread and potatoes, as opposed to having a huge dish of fondue that you have to dip an entire loaf of bread in. I felt like this was much less wasteful for a solo traveler or a couple wanting to share something not too heavy. The cheese does cool quickly though, so it won’t be ooey gooey for very long.

I very much enjoyed here. I had Klara to try two cheeses at once. Meals was tasty and enough to get me full. I was there durning workday, we had no problem with a table for two. Prices are okay. Place is in the old city, so you can do small brake during sightseeing to grab tasty lunch. Can recommend it.

This was a very basic dish, consisting simply of pickles, boiled potato, and cheese. While the cheese was genuinely good, the rest of the components were unremarkable. It's difficult to rate such a simple dish, but what I can confidently say is that the price is quite expensive for what you get. From my observation, most customers here seem to be tourists. Overall, I don't think it's worth it, and you can likely find comparable or better cheese experiences elsewhere.
