Brasserie Federal - Bezirk Zuerich

We had a quick lunch here and waited for a train. The food was expensive, as could be expected in Switzerland. However, the waiter who was assigned to our table was really amazingly rude. At first he decided to order us (and of course) several... add-ons to the hamburger. When it was time for the bill and saw that we were charged extra for things we had never asked, he became incredibly irate and aggressive – almost violently so. We were shocked. In no case will we visit Brasserie Federal.

Great food on the move. I had the liver which was amazing! Get a pretzel and a beer while you’re here also. My kids loved the burgers. It’s one of the only places around that’s open on Sundays, and I was delightfully surprised at the...quality and service. No bull$#it in this place. It’s a 200+ year old train station and diner style service. Stop giving this place a low rating because you’re looking for fine dining!

Restaurant located in main concourse of main Zurich rail station entrance directly under the huge suspended funky angel. Table service with around a dozen different dishes. Service was quick, beer good and fresh asparagus with a Hollandaise sauce was delicious with an accompanying plate of...smoked ham (like a Spanish iberico jamon). Very traditional original decor well renovated. Definitely worth a visit for a quick meal and/or a beer at start or end of a train journey for fantastic connections from Zurich.

I have given this restaurant 3 opportunities due to its convenient location. All 3 have been a disappointment due to the quality of the service. Today, four other tables got served with drinks food after my arrival. The server got angry when I followed...up on my cappuccino after 35 minutes. It’s been 45 minutes now and no cappuccino in sight! I will not be returning and cannot recommend it.

Super service ... good food and great beer selection ... in the middle of the hall hbf zürich ... optimal for trips over the hbf if you like Swiss cuisine and beer
