PRICE:
Frommer's Highly Recommended

Everyone in Zurich goes to "Der Kropf" for its old-fashioned ambience and generous portions at reasonable prices. The restaurant is in one of the oldest burgher houses in town, a few steps from Paradeplatz. Its dining room has stained-glass windows, polished paneling, chandeliers, and plaster columns. On the walls hang stag horns and painted hunting scenes. You get authentic and well-prepared dishes here. Almost no one, including visiting personalities, local political figures, and finicky children, leaves disappointed. Bring along a healthy appetite. Specialties include chopped veal with rösti, stewed meats, pork shank, and pot-au-feu Zurich-style. For dessert, we recommend Palatschinken (a chocolate crepe) or Apfelstrudel (apple strudel).
