"Discretely located in Zurich 's lovely Old Town, Lumiere is quite small and easy to miss when your attention is taken by the more prominent restaurants around the area. It clearly has its own 'fan club ', however, because on a Tuesday night, it soon became full...after its 6 pm opening. I guess that reservations are usually essential. The food is the key because while the menu prices seemed high at first sight, the reason was immediately obvious. Do not be deceived by the online menu into thinking that it is too expensive for simple fare. Lumiere does not serve plain French food. Each course that my group had was complex, time consuming to prepare and absolutely delicious. My Caesar Salad was truly excellent, with each component carefully matched to the others. A great start to an excellent three course dinner. I rarely eat three courses, so this was a testament to what followed my salad. I ordered entrecote steak Café de Paris and pommes allumettes no additional vegetables included. This seemingly simple (on paper) dish came with a large plate of elegant, grease free allumettes that needed no additions except a little salt. The steak itself, described as a simple dish, was served with a complex sauce that nicely complimented the high quality beef. Normally, this is where I stop, but the dessert menu, if as good as the first two courses, promised to be a delight. It did not over promise. I ended a wonderful dinner with a warm chocolate cake and sauce, served with an ice cream, that was 'close your eyes and just enjoy ' good. The wine prices, like the food, seemed over priced on paper but we had the basic red at CHF52 which complimented the main course. I guess that the other listed wines would be as high quality as the food. While this restaurant is close to 'food heaven ', one issue deserved perhaps a half point deduction the noise level. It is a small and popular place, packed full on a Tuesday night, so conversation was loud. There seemed to be no attempt to mitigate this with sound deadening materials. I understand that it is essential to preserve the old French bistro style, but perhaps some concealed padding under the tables would help with echo from the wooden floor. If you come prepared for this and do not expect hushed conversation, this will not be a problem. This was my first visit, but it will not be my last."

"Its always hard to suggest a restaurant and its always hard for a restaurant to please everyone, but last night, 35 of us descended on Bottega Berta. Needless to say we had a fab nightwe started with an aperol outside around some open fires (and in our coast of course as winter is certainly here) two Rudolf jumpered servers kept our glasses continuously full as we nibbled a bit and chatted Moving in the restaurant looked great, set just for us with a few long tables and lots of decorations, and of course the wine started flowing as soon as we got inNow if anyone knows this restaurant, it isn't exactly massive and the kitchen is tiny, so when miracles come out of the kitchen its great to see - and last night they didFrom the tiny kitchen came our Italian antipasti platter with all sorts to choose from, a leafy salad with a really amazing dressing was next followed by a super fresh home made Ravioli with Truffle cream - oh yum. Main course, a difficult task to do for 30 people - a stunning, tender juicy tasty serving of beef, it was absolutely delicious, the sause irresistible and served with a beautifully al dente Risotto, so then of course dessert (and more wines) Tiramisu, Panacotta and Grappa sorbet, coffee, etcthe venue was really cozy, chatty and just a happy place to bethe photos (sorry when I'd taken them, all the food had gone) say it allthanks to the team of Bottega Berta for a really super evening, Simply Delicious and great fun"
