Zurich – Last week I went for dinner with a friend. We were looking for a place that is centrally located, good food of course and not too loud to be able to chat around.
The beautiful historical building itself is a highlight and houses also a bar and a hotel. In the 70ies and 80ies the Helvti was one of the few bars that was open also long after midnight, when Zurich was not such an open-minded city yet.
This time I had meat loaf with fresh mushrooms and mashed potatoes. A dish that I love but never cook at home….mouth watering!
In summer one can enjoy lunch or dinner on the terrace overlooking the river sihl.
