Restaurant Turbinenhaus - Zürich

Wonderful restaurant. Great terrace, right on the river. Superfine food is served by great, child-loving staff!

Food really wasn't great, service was kind and we still had a fantastic evening.

The restaurant is ideally located with a beautiful view of the Limmat. We were given a very friendly welcome and told we would definitely have to wait an hour because the restaurant was fully booked. So we waited in front of the restaurant in a cozy seating area with an aperitif spritz. When we asked for a few olives or some bread because we were very hungry from swimming, we were told that wasn 't possible at this place. After an hour I asked politely at the bar how long we would have to wait for our table and the very friendly lady said she would prepare a table for us straight away and I was very happy. Just a moment later the head waiter came and told us the kitchen was empty . There is nothing left... not a salad, not a single noodle, not a slice of bread, nothing. We were thunderstruck, we had waited so long and were really hungry. We were really looking forward to this evening because the atmosphere gave us hope. I think our outfit was the deciding factor but then they would have had to send us away straight away. After swimming we still wore flip flops, shorts and simple tops, but we were very friendly and quite capable of handling ourselves to be able to afford a few delicious courses in the restaurant. I 'm incredibly disappointed and hurt and I don 't think this is possible at all. If you had told me at the beginning that evening wear was required here, I would have changed in the car. Or we could have left but we wouldn 't have had to be so insulted. Oh, we are a lesbian couple, we held hands and gave each other a furtive kiss, maybe they just have something against homosexuals here. On Christopher Street Day, it 's better to avoid this address, and if you don 't have an evening dress in your car after swimming, you should probably go somewhere else. All thumbs down SHAME on you

Very good food, nice service and nice ambience Excellent food, nice service and place

I love the location and it is always a good stop during our walks along the river, food is nice but the staff is so unfriendly and even appears angry all the time. A pity, it is not child friendly and price high for ordinary not special food
