Swiss Food Tour - CHEESE FONDUE and Jumbo Cordon Bleu in Zurich, Switzerland!

I hope you're having an amazing day. I'm Mark Wiens. I'm in the beautiful city of Zurich, Switzerland, and I only have one full day here, so I'll do my best to make it count and make the most of this day. We will do a Swiss

food

tour

of Zurich, we will eat some of the most iconic Swiss dishes and we will also see some of the most famous sites in the old town of Zurich and I can't wait to share this day with you, but before doing anything you need to start the day right I ordered a daffio macchiato to start the day and just enjoy this beautiful old town of Zurich at this time breakfast in Switzerland is usually a light meal, you have to have a coffee and then usually a little type of pastry, maybe a croissant, they actually ended up with croissants at this restaurant so we just had a few slices of bread and jam for breakfast and I'll mostly save myself for bigger, cheesier things coming later today oh , that's incredibly good macchiato oh wow, that's amazing hey oh, you can count on the bread to be good, really nice and crunchy on that edge and then the inside is like that slight gooeyness for my next bite yinx I needed to taste the butter , she said the butter is really really good, okay, oh yeah, that's really good butter, really really creamy and one of the things that you'll love about being in Zurich and being in Switzerland is the fresh water that you can obtain from all sources. drinking taps where you can just fill your bottle and drink, oh thank you, and you have nice cool Swiss water, it tastes great and it's nice and cold too.

There is a huge terrace up here and it is a park but you can get a great view of

zurich

from the river city you can just relax in this park you can take a seat you can enjoy the fresh air and you have a pretty good view you can see the mountains in the background and you can see some of the main attractions some of the main points of interest in Zurich and this just gives you a good overview, allows you to orient yourself about Zurich when you are here, we walked back to the other side of the river and almost reached the restaurant where we go to lunch, I think we could arrive early, since they open.

I'm not even sure if they're open here, but I wanted to make sure we got a table here for lunch because this. It is a Swiss

food

that you do not want to miss when you come to Switzerland. This restaurant is famous for

fondue

and I want to thank Marcel very much for recommending this place. Yes, traditional

fondue

and I also think it is one of the Switzerland is, of course, a paradise for

cheese

lovers. If you love

cheese

, you have to come to Switzerland, so I ordered two different cheese plates. Thank you. Oh, this is food for thought.

Yeah, okay, you know we're back. Actually, there are no mushrooms. You can roast them. or wheat or tomato and it smells good, right in the center is the cheese fondue and then here on this side this is the traditional fondue there are four different types of cheese there is white wine there is a type of liquor there and then garlic and that It's starting to slowly bubble, that's just beautiful, you can see how slimy it is, there's a lot of tradition and etiquette involved in eating fondue and I'm not sure I know it. all the rules but I'll do my best the bread is used not only to dip the cheese but also to mix the cheese and keep the cheese mixed with the wine and all that submerged oh it's so soft and some people dip it in a figure eight oh by the way it's 200 grams of cheese so the dipping also works to keep it stirred and cool and also to dip the piece of bread and then you get the oh look at that cheese and then you turn and turn until it stops dripping once it stops dripping you're supposed to put it on your plate and then eat it with a fork wow oh that's amazing oh that cheese mixture is crazy it's a little salty you can taste the garlic in there you can taste the essence of the white wine and that's just the cheese is very creamy, very smooth and it doesn't have a very strong cheese flavor, but it's perfect, it's a perfect blend, wow, that's really very well cut. this in half and the same process applies to the cheese and actually for this bite let me spin this around.

She gave us two different seasonings, one is pepper and paprika, paprika and pepper, or is it like you wait, what is this? I'm not sure and then there's also pepper, there's also black pepper so you can season. I'm going to add a little bit of this, okay, then I'm going to add a little bit of paprika and then I'm going to add a little bit of black pepper as well. I'll put some pepper on my plate for later. Can? Also, I think you can sprinkle some directly on your cheese if everyone in your party is happy with that look at the trio of spices, although oh wonderful, that cheese just cleans everything up, oh look at all that pepper there. like a paprika and paprika crust on that potato, oh it's just wonderful and that's a good potato too, but the cheese is crazy and I also forgot to mention that bread is traditionally supposed to be day-old bread, so It's a little crunchy and a little stale.

Bread and indeed fondue started out as a leftovers dish, so leftover cheese was boiled until melted and then the leftover bread was used for dipping, so it is actually a traditional leftovers dish. , but it's absolutely an amazing combination, perfect ooze once you soak it in. and stir, then I sprinkle a bunch of pepper and paprika on my plate and the cheese just works to perfectly create a pepper and paprika crust. Look at that, yes and yes, I think it's not traditional to eat it right off the fork, but it's very convenient wow, the pepper and paprika really give it an extra touch of flavor that will pick up the cheese, stick it on the tray, let's melt this until it melts.

Oh my goodness, let it sit here and then you can drink it. all these little ingredients there are, oh, I have it with ham, there is ham, there are shallots, oh, and she said we could add a shallot, wait, I'm going to grab my cheese real quick, I think these are shallots, I think put this in in the the melted cheese I think that's a fantastic idea oh and I could also add a little pepper to mine wait real quick add a little pepper okay stick this on the tray so it bubbles and then I'll go to stick a piece of ham, so this, this top, oh, this top tray is also hot and you can just sizzle whatever you want, I think we're ready for this raclette, oh, look at that again, just melted, take it out On the plate, oh oh, that's it.

These are cheese dreams right there I'm going in with the ham inside the cheese I'm not totally sure how to eat this but I think I want it all in one bite with that shallot oh yeah this is going to be hot this is absolutely perfect melted cheese that you could have in your mouth, it's very easy, but at the same time, when you cook it in that little pan, it has that little edge of caramelized cheese layer and then I loved it with the pepper and then the shallot and for this one I cut up a potato and I'm going to stick it on the potato oh it just slides oh just cheese slides oh wonderful okay and this for this bite I'll do it, I'll give it It's a little bit of a break before I want that mushroom in this bite too, yeah, actually It's still pretty hot.

Oh, with that amazing pizza and we're getting to the bottom of the fondue, there's starting to be a golden crust on it. down and there's a little bit of oil and cheese juices but I'm not going to let any of this cheese go to waste here oh, it's such a good cheese and on my plate I have black pepper and I think this is kind of, I think it's nutmeg it tastes a little bit like nutmeg it has a little bit of good that was a lot of cheese this is like a completely crispy cheese crust actually I think you just have to go in with your fingers in this aspect it's a whole cheese chip there's cheese caramelized, it's crunchy, it's very delicious, this is my dessert for this meal.

Fondue is a very popular Swiss dish in the cold winter months because it keeps you very warm with all that fat. Now we are right in the middle of summer. Although I'm not, I don't regret eating fondue at all, but I do feel a little warm digesting all that wonderful fatty cheese, um fondue, it's not, it's not, it's not one of those very filling dishes. , apart from the richness that it has, uh, but it is a very social dish and it is fun to eat. Add not only the delicious cheese but also the element of cooking it yourself and it's fun to eat.

That's exactly what I need after 300 grams of melted cheese. One of the best things you can do when you are in Zurich is to simply walk and explore the streets of the old town. It is very pleasant to walk. The architecture is beautiful. There are small shops, cafes and restaurants everywhere when you see the. Zurich Skyline This is one of the most recognizable churches you will see and was originally commissioned by Charlemagne and built sometime between the 1100s or 1200s. It is a Romanesque style Protestant church. You can enter the church, but they do not allow photos. inside, but then you can pay a clearance, then you can pay a small fee and go to the top of the tower, it's a pretty narrow spiral staircase, it's amazing, there's someone coming out though mom, oh um, well, I can't give myself the return, no, I mean alone. like going into the wall I'll squeeze in I think I'm fine thank you okay I've made it to the top or the platform section and now I'm going up another set of stairs and it continues it's pretty high yes I can say for sure I'm feeling all that cheese right now oh all the views are amazing just that beautiful Zurich architecture really worth visiting to the top the views are amazing it's been almost an hour since I last had lunch with all that cheese.

I think it's time for lunch number two and we're heading towards Lake Zurich. There is a truly legendary restaurant that serves classic Swiss food and that is where we will have our next meal. Hello, hello, are you open now? Sure, okay? We are open all day. Okay thanks. There really is some character and heritage to this restaurant. The menu is not huge, but they have a list of very classic Swiss dishes on their menu and I go straight for the most. The classic of all Swiss dishes. Wow, this restaurant is extremely elegant. I have to be honest and tell you that I didn't know this restaurant was going to be so fancy and so expensive.

Ying and her sister are already full from the last meal, so I just ordered one. For the mains they gave me a starter, one of the classic mains that I had to try and they also had a dessert. This is a very very expensive restaurant, but I guess I'll only be in Zurich for one day, I have to make the most of it. For dessert, Ying wanted chocolate mousse, so we ordered an order of chocolate mousse and it comes in this big bowl, but then she puts it on the plate in little spoonfuls and then whips the cream and sticks it on top.

It's absolutely beautiful. I have to try Ewing's chocolate mousse real quick, it just looks absolutely fluffy, oh that texture, look at the lightness of that wow, creamy and fluffy at the same time and like it's like foam, but it's like dense, I don't It's, it's not like an aerated foam, it's really. uh wow, it's extremely delicate thank you very much, can you tell me the name of this dish one more time? The official name, so it means the name of the city, but in Swiss German it's not soori, it's not tootie, okay, okay, nuts, we mean sliced ​​shuri.

Schnutzlets yes, okay, thank you very much, you're welcome, this is one of the best dishes you should eat when you are in Switzerland and it is a combination, it is a reduced beef stew with white wine and it has cream. then slices of beef and then it is served along with oxidido, which is a fry, they are small strips of potato that are then fried, it has that golden crust, it is similar to hash browns, but very high quality. All that beef is so tender and those potatoes are crispy in the perfect way, crispy caramelized and that stew is really rich and creamy oh, that's exquisite, a little bit of pepper here, okay, it should be good and then, yeah, even the Potatoes are really good, this is one of the classic Swiss side dishes and it is delicious.

This is another classic Swiss dish. It's beef sausage made in a salad pan and that's just a bouquet of sliced ​​sausages, there's some onions on top and then it's in a dressing. I can taste the mustard in that sauce and then it's kind of lemony. I think the quality is really good. The best thing about this is that I still have more in the pot, which makes me very happy. Uh-oh, thank you very much. Much more, another thing I forgot to mention to you is that even the plate is heated before eating, so everything is taken into consideration here, it's very appropriate, it's very luxurious, but that food is amazing, okay, I'm going to do it with a little pepper, freshly ground black pepper is one of life's pleasures and that combination when you get that ratio I like the 50 50 ratio of potatoes to beef and sauce that is almost perfect, I mean, it's such a high quality that it's incredibly tender beef and then at the end of your meal they give you a little basket of cigar sized cookies and chocolate, very slightly sweet, they have a vanilla flavour.

Okay, try the chocolate below and of course Switzerland is world known for its chocolate with crown oh this is the crown of theemblem of the restaurant there is a kind of cream inside, great, wow, that quality and that will be my last bite. I'm going to let it sit on my tongue. I must tell you this crazy coincidence: our bill turned out to be the exact amount as last restaurant 126. There is no doubt that it was a waste of food, but if you eat here when you are in Zurich, you will definitely be taken care of.

The only thing I wish had been a little different is that I wish they had given me a little bigger portions, the portions were a good size, but I could have eaten a lot more, eh, but it was really good quality, really elegant, of Top notch, very high end, really delicate food and that was really awesome high end Swiss dining experience and yes I definitely enjoyed it. Let's cross the bridge again. This is Lake Zurich to my left. It's really a beautiful place just to walk around. You can walk. There are parks. walkways, you can rent a boat and you can see some boats where people paddle and relax, but just the natural beauty and how amazing it is how clean and clear it is right on this alpine lake, I really wasn't planning on it.

Swimming today, but the water is so beautiful and looks so inviting that it's actually irresistible. Oh Michael wants to feel that Oh Micah is ready. Oh wow, it's pretty cold when you fully walk in, but it's so refreshing. It feels amazing. first swim in lake

zurich

i feel like a new man after that swim oh it's so refreshing walking through the quiet cobblestone streets of zurich old town and now we're on our way to dinner hey hi, a little surprised i ran and I met him and Yes, I hope you enjoyed Switzerland and yes, there are so many things to do here.

Have fun. Pleased to meet you. Pleased to meet you. A most beautiful bridge to cross in Zurich and I think this is the bridge of love because there are always so many locks closed. here and conveniently located just across the bridge should be where we will have dinner it looks like it's going to rain it's getting dark and dark and cloudy but this will be the last restaurant on this Swiss food

tour

of Zurich the salad is for a side order oh thank you oh okay thank you very much it's raining outside this is the perfect time to hang out here and eat again and I ordered two classic Swiss dishes uh this is going to end this is going to end I finished this Swiss food tour in Zurich.

This is their specialty at this restaurant, which is the

jumbo

jumbo

codon blue and it's a stuffed pork chop, I'm sure it's stuffed with a lot of cheese and I think ham and then. You can see it's breaded and fluffy and completely crispy oh wow, okay, do we have to do that first? I think we should first cut it right down the center so we can see what's coming out of here and it's pork and oh yeah, okay. Not a lot of melted cheese comes out, but probably if you squeeze it, oh, yeah, there it flows, oh, there it comes out, oh, and there are layers of ham, oh, it's just stuffed, okay, oh, wonderful.

I have to start with this and I have to scoop up all that soup, mop up all the cheese that I just squeezed out oh yeah, oh that's amazing, the crushed breadcrumbs are almost like a crispy skin and then the pork is very fine and then the cheese is kind of soft but really creamy and this is also a pretty significant sized sausage, this is a beef sausage, mop up a little bit of that onion sauce like almost a little bit of cardamom flavor and kind of an herb flavor also that it is very lumpy and very juicy. and the texture is very, very fine, very soft, take this slice of lemon here, squeeze it and go to my next bite here, oh, that cheese that's just cheese remains liquid and it's like how many layers are there in here.

They have, you have the crust, you have two layers of pork because it's filled with two layers of ham and then just filled with cheese which is extremely rich and then salad to complete the whole meal. This is another hearty meal. in

switzerland

mission accomplished i just finished with it, it was a pretty good size, it was definitely the largest portion with the best value for money so far and it was actually very good. I can't say I've taken the blue codon very often in my life. I've only had it a couple of times, this is definitely the best.

I have had the best quality I have ever tried. This day has absolutely flown by and we have reached the end of the day, thus completing this Swiss food tour in Zurich. When you come to Zurich, the price is a bit shocking. Restaurants really are. Let's say that it is not an economical or cheap destination, no matter how much you imagine it. But you really come here for the beauty and the peace. And silently, I want to thank you very much for watching this video.
