Parsaco Food Courts Gmbh - Zuerich

No frills, mostly counter-service bakery chain throughout Switzerland offering very good pastries (including a fabulous rhubarb cheese danish that looks like a large piece of pizza), nice, friendly staff, who are happy to speak English if need be.

We loved the concept of a store selling day old bakery products, to minimise food wastage. Ass-Bar was easy to locate in the narrow streets of Zurich Old Town, we arrived mid-afternoon to discover half-filled cabinets of what appeared to be delicious tarts and slices, we purchased two to take-away, a custard almond tart and a raspberry vanilla slice. Both were disappointing, the pastry on the tart was soft, not particularly flavoursome, I would suggest that they were not as fresh as thought; baked several days ago. If ever I came across a Ass-Bar in the future I don't think I would visit.

With a name of a bar such as that, who would not want to go, even if it were only to get a WHIFF of what's inside! I was on my way to the Christmas park by the lake, when I stumbled upon a sign featuring some tasty pastries. Craving for some snacks, I went in and found a good variety of desserts, including hot and cold sandwiches, and a good variety of drinks. It was not until I began nibbling on my dessert that I realized what the name of the bar was!

Ich gehe regelmäßig in verschiedenen Ässbars einkaufen. Das Brot ist phänomenal und kaum schlechter als in normalen Bäckereien. Die Auswahl ist auch fantastisch. Ich kaufe immer gerne in Ässbars Brot, rette so Lebensmittel und spare Geld.

Tolle Preise und leckeres Essen. Der Kundenservice ist hervorragend und es wird Englisch gesprochen. Empfehlenswert für preisbewusste Reisende in dieser teuren Stadt.
