Frommer's "This legendary and somewhat schmaltzy 1912 bohemian landmark is a popular singles and gay hangout in the evening." Full review
Time Out "You can't get much more historic than Odeon - Lenin and Einstein hung out here. And it's been a hub Zurich's gay community for decades. Everyone's welcome." Full review
Fodor's "This historic café–restaurant was once frequented by the pre-revolutionary Vladimir Lenin, who nursed a coffee while he read the daily papers." Full review

These days you can nurse a coffee in the morning or afternoon, or choose from a menu of burgers, sandwiches, and pasta at lunch or dinner.

Travel + Leisure "Set inside a gothic, 14th-century guild hall with a 36-foot wide, bowed wooden ceiling, the experience here is best described as deeply romantic: you may even see the River Limmat from your seat." Full review
Fodor's "This fine restaurant is also the most spectacular, combining a wooden barrel-vaulted ceiling and 30-foot beams." Full review

The river views are especially impressive at night; ask for a window table.
