    Tasty french cuisine in the old town of Zurich

    I went to eat with my bf spontaneously and of course it was full. The lady at the desk guided us to the bar aside to shorten the waiting. After 15min she came to look for us and guided us to our table. We enjoyed...More

    Good food, noisy with a group

    We were a group of about 15 people having dinner upstairs in a separate room. The restaurant is nicely furnished, the food is very good, staff friendly, but it was truly difficult having conversations with the acoustics being challenging.

    Ok but not great

    Quite frankly this place is disappointing. Ambience is great but the food is mediocre. There are so many good restaurants in the area that you could choose you might as well skip this one.

    Reliable excellence in charming environment

    I’m eating here for the 4th or 5th time today and I wonder why I haven’t reviewed earlier, because excellence deserves to be rewarded. Mère Catherine’s French cuisine is always très bon!

    Quick Turnaround Restaurant

    Stumbled across this restaurant. It was a lovely evening so the option to sit outside was appealing. The service was very good but too quick. No sooner had we finished our entrees the mains were put in front of us. Think the quickness is to...More
