Zeughauskeller - @@@

Finally getting a chance to catch up on some reviews from the Europe trip a little while ago. Went to this place that is reasonably famous in a touristy part of the city. This place is in an armory which is pretty cool. Eating lunch with swords, poles, crossbows, and assorted other memorabilia shows how old some of the sites are - supposedly the building was built in 1487!

I read in Zurich they have a local dish called Kalbsgeschnetzeltes nach Zürcher Art - which is basically pan fried sliced veal and mushrooms in a creamy white wine sauce. Zurich specialty supposedly. Served with a side of rösti. So the dish was pretty good, tasted and reminded me a little like stroganoff without noodles. That type of consistency, a bit creamier rather than tangy. Wanted to remove the mushrooms but figured it was authentic. It did come with additional portion as well which is the pan on the top left which was kept warm with a burner underneath, a good bonus. Veal was good, but in sauce so couldn't tell the actual quality. Slices were kind of skinny for me but in general was tasty. The rösti was basically a giant hash brown so if you like fried potatoes then you will enjoy. Note it is pretty big and filling. One thing I didn't love was that the two items didn't really mix well (such as if I had rice with it instead). Individually they were pretty good; there was no enhancement for eating together

Overall cool place that served decent food. Would recommend checking it out, it does for sure cater to tourists as the menu is in like 10 different languages. I was also interested in the pork shank and beef that came out on a sword. It is in one of the main areas so very easy to find.
