Naive and Sentimental Breakfast
A couple of new grand cafes opened recently around Bellevue. With decor in the severe modern Swiss style, and located in the refurbished Neue Zürcher Zeitung building, I favour Brasserie Schiller. The other is Cafe Felix, a Viennese frothy stucco thing that I'm not so keen on.
This is Brasserie Schiller.
It has full restaurant facilities and a bar overlooking the street - seen in the photo above. I had breakfast here this morning and tried to get some decent photos but the lighting, perfect for ambience, is impossible for photography. Dark, with bright inlaid panels in the table tops and behind the bar.
Friendly staff, table service, linen, porcelain and silver. All very nice and not any more expensive than anywhere else. Peppermint tea from a cast iron teapot hiding in the shadows and a generous bowl of birchermuesli
It's HUGE!
Waiting to hear from your more um....educated/illuminated/cultured readers regarding Sunday music.
It was very short - I had to replay it 5 times.
And...
i'm gunna do it again!

Il nous faudrait aller un jour à Zurich...
