Swiss Food Tour - CHEESE FONDUE and Jumbo Cordon Bleu in Zurich, Switzerland!

[@islandbreeze2102]

Mark does not love everything he eats. If you pay close attention you will note that Mark is a very respectful person. Even if he doesn’t love a dish, he will point out and describe to us the tastes, and different textures of the dish. He’s got a lot of responsibility on his shoulders. Visiting countries around the world and educating us on a country’s food culture. Job well done Mark. The fondue looked so delicious!!! I want so much to try it. Thanks!

[@mg6240]

I know exactly when he is loves it he has a sort of a "foodgasm" eyes go up and his head tilts to an angle towards his left. LMAO

[@kingzlayerch3817]

Jeah you can see that he not enjoys the cheese dishes THAT much. (for example all the spices he adds) im swiss myself and know, that fondue and raclette isnt for everyone. Im glad he enjoyed the city tho.

[@themightypotato3857]

our country isn't all too special when it comes to culinary delights. but i can tell you we absolutely have the cheese dishes nailed. if you ever visit, my tipp to you would be to try raclette first. it's absolutely godly. slice open a potato and put the melted cheese over it. also, always add a slice of bacon into the pan on top of the cheese. you will love it. try fondue after the raclette. i love it just as much but the cheese is usually a bit more intense. let me know if you ever wanna come. i will go with you and whomever you're bringing with you. see you!

Swiss guy here. The last place you went to was crazy expensive. 8.50chf for a salad ? It's the most expensive I've seen. Zurich IS one of the most expensive places in Switzerland. But still that was too much. I hope you enjoyed it though. But to the people in the comment section : If you come to Switzerland, please try the restaurants that are not in the middle of the cities. If you get the chance to travel by car, stop in villages. The cuisine is more authentic and way cheaper than that. To Mark, I'm so happy you came to Switzerland. Thank you for another great video

[@plejade4125]

Joy Zhang like in every city, yes, there is also a high grade of poor people in Switzerland who can't survive with their earnings without getting help from organisations (food, clothes, pay the bills...) but you won't see or hear about them, it's highly a shame here to be that poor so you don't talk about... jeah.

Zurich isn’t cheap, but you don’t have to spend 126 francs per meal. Swiss Chuchi is a tourist trap (apparently makes competent fondue, but locals never go there), and Kronenhalle is one of the most expensive restaurants in the city (the bar literally has Picassos on the wall). In contrast, the Rheinfelder Bierhalle at the end is a favorite among locals, including me. (I was there just last week.) It’s affordable, down to earth, serves generous portions, provided by salty staff. It’s been famous for its giant cordon bleu for the better part of a century. (But you have to fast the whole day to be hungry enough to finish it at dinner, it’s so big!)

[@zohaf]

salty staff means something negative?

[@BiswajyotiMukherjee]

Thanks for that information. I will be visiting Zurich next month.

[@nicanatorr2728]

Antonio Tejada however the alps are magnificent

[@sepskifahrer409]

I am from Zurich: 1. The fondue place is a tourist rip off. not the best quality, small portions and well expensive. 2. Kronenhalle is very good but also insanely expensive, it is where the rich go and eat and normally 50+ age. One of the top restaurants in Zurich, but rather oldfashioned. 3 . And the last restaurant (Bierhalle) where he had the jumbo cordonbleu was actually a very good choice. There are not many tourists there and it is classic swiss quality food where the locals go to eat. for Zurich the prices are also okay, they have an expensive location right at the beginning of Niederdorf. thumbs up

[@sba7739]

As a swiss studying in Zurich who has never been in the Swiss Chuchi, but thoght about going there once every time I walk by, I might agree now that it's a tourist rip off. If you're able to eat a second lunch only one hour after Fondue AND Raclette, it wasn't enough. After a Fondue (which I love, but rarely eat in a restaurant because it's much cheaper and just as good self made), I'm usually knocked out for the next few hours and wouldn't even think about eating something.

[@islampurswatkadhishawl4115]

if a person plan to visit swiss, where he could find cheap places for living and for food

[@sba7739]

@@islampurswatkadhishawl4115 For cheap food, the best is to go to a supermarket and buy something there. For relatively cheap (compared to other swiss prices, it might still be expensive for foreigners), you might find some Take Away food near universities, schools or at train station. For living, I can't really help, I would recommend comparing prices online.

The Kronenhalle is known not for the food but for its paintings hanging in the restaurant. Each of these paintings are priceless. Its like eating in an art gallery.

[@abalamdepaimon6891]

I loved the way you enjoyed the Fondue and Raclette, on a fairly warm day too ! You mixed the ingredients perfectly and the look on your face when shoving those melted cheese portions into your mouth - priceless. Traditionally that dish is eaten only during winter. You can imagine, after a day out in the mountains skiing, coming home all exhausted and chilled, that hos fat cheese is the perfect meal to regain lost calories and because a Raclette dinner takes so long (melt cheese, scrap it out on plate, mix it with your potatoe, spices, veggies, eat it in 2 bites....rinse repeat many times...) when you go to bed you are so satisfyingly stuffed with delicious creamy melted cheese and potatoes you sleep like a baby.

Watching you experiencing Zurich for your first visit and to see you thoroughly enjoy the food is a treat ! I love Switzerland. The Swiss are very friendly, approachable, and generous. I will offer this suggestion for your future food forays: always ask the locals which restaurants they go to. You will find the best foods at reasonable prices. I lived in New Orleans, NYC, and Washington, DC for decades. I am always more than happy to direct tourists to the restaurants that I enjoy. You don't have to break the bank to eat well in any city throughout the world. People who live in destination cities are always happy to point you to the good places and they ( we ) are also happy to direct you away from the " tourist traps". Enjoy your journeys and eat well!!

I see a lot of criticism about the service personal and the prizes so I thought to give some input. 1. friendliness in service is a thing of luck. I had bad experiences and awesome ones. At least you are not expected to tip if you don’t want to. 2. Switzerland is expensive. And Zurich is the most expensive city next to Geneva and Lucerne. If you have to look after your money, don’t eat in Zurich. Get a Hotel in a city next to it, eat there and just make a trip to Zurich. Switzerland is small so you can reach nearly every major city in no time. Public transport is one of the best all over the world too. 3. I can‘t stress it enough: only visit Zurich for a daytrip. Instead, discover the beauty of Switzerlands countryside and smaller cities and villages. You‘ll be pleased.

Unfortunately the two restaurant you've picked for lunch are either a tourist trap or extremely expensive. As I say: when you're finished your wallet is as empty as your stomach. To enjoy real good swiss food, you have to go out to the country side. There you will really enjoy typical home made swiss food, like you show us in other videos arount Thailand or Japan. Next time you plan a trip to CH contact me or any swiss guy you know. But make sure he is a local ;-)

You can eat a lot cheaper than Mark did if you go to the right restaurants (which are less touristy) plus Zurich is even for us Swiss quite expensive so you can go to another city within Switzerland if you want to spend a bit less.

[@alexrodriguez351]

IanMcCansey -that's cool..thanks for sharing your knowledge

[@rangers4076]

IanMcCansey Yes and No. Look a receipt.... One bottle Mineral water..... 9.50sfr ! ? This is not normal.

[@ethanr4711]

Yeah only reason prices are somewhat high is because the income and expenditure in Switzerland is, for lack of a better term, inflated. Meaning prices are high and wages are also high.

[@ferdinoschipper9747]

IanMcCansey ...do you know...places ..cheaper to stay and to eat in Switzerland ....i am shocked..to see the price of water..

I ate fondue in that same restaurant. I still have vivid memories of that meal a decade on. It was sublime.

[@plejadepetrichor1300]

@s125ish it's not affordable for locals if you're not a high payed manager or banker, but Zürich is the town where those rich people work, so it will work for the restaurants. I have to work 2 days for one meal, so, no, I grab a piece of bread at home and eat this for lunch :D

As another fellow Swiss said lower in the comments, I'd say a majority of the Swiss eat the bread straight off the fork ^^

[@michaelp800]

Not me at all. Only if the other guys accept it. For some people it's not very nasty, if an old man dips his slobber into the fondue. Greetings from Switzerland! :D

Mark had I known you'd be coming to Zurich I'd have shown you around to very good places where we locals would go and are mostly hidden pearls. Also, I would have loved to have you as my guest, I love cooking and eating :) message me whenever you're around in the area again! Edit: It is tradional to eat straight from the given (long) fondue fork and sidenote, you're using ALOT (for most people way too much) spices. I only use spices for the raclette cheese AFTER taking it out of the oven. Otherwise you will burn them. And just slightly sprinkle it. Let the natural cheese flavour do its work. The crispy bottomlayer of cheese in the fondue is called 'the grandma' and its very delicious. The raclette cheese is mostly put on sliced potatos and spiced then.

Hello Mark Wiens. I really enjoy your videos abour all the foods. And you are a really sympathic guy and everytimes happy. Im a swiss chef and i really like my work, im little disapointed of the swiss people they serve you the food, because they was really not happy face or like the normal swiss culture. I will be really happy when i can cooking for you, and show you my special swiss kitchen. The Zürich Geschnetzeltes with Rösti was ok, but my Rösti is much more crispy and golden, and when i serve, i dont destroy like the service girl is do for you, she looks like heartless, but she dont know that you bringing much comercial for her restaurant. When i cook for you im much more thankfull for your visit. Nice work Mark. Nice greets from my Cooking channel.

the church of greediness of latter-day liars My tips are Coop and Migros, they‘re the most common food markets in switzerland and do have affordable prices. Lidl, Aldi and Spar are low-budget stores while still having fair quality. They just aren‘t as common as Coop and Migros.

[@swissx4277]

Hi Mark - even for us swiss citizen, the food in some swiss restaurants are expensive with so small portions and you have to spend nearly 50$ each person. Kronenhalle ist really one of the most expensive in whole Zurich and I was only once there. Many restaurants offering weekdays "Mittagsmenu", it means lunch-menu, which kost about 15$, softdrink or water cost extra. Usually, me and my friends eat Fondue and Raclette at home. One whole diner for 4 persons will cost so less than 50 $ incl. side dishes. We swiss eat usually not both at the same time - eighter Fondue or Raclette each event. Thank you for visiting Zurich.

Nice video! Enjoyed it! As someone who lived in Europe for many years, just a tip... Never, never eat at those "famous" high-end restaurants. It's a rip off for tourists who don't know better. (Btw, the food presentation at the Kronenhalle was just awful! It looked like crap on a plate.) Always find out where the locals eat and go there. The prices and the food will always be much better than the fancy tourist traps.
