Bellevue NZZ Switzerland

A visit to Bongénie is now also worthwhile from a culinary perspective

Zurich’s best burger? No, we wouldn’t go quite that far. But the “Émile” meat sandwich, which, by the way, cost 39 francs, certainly ranks in the top ten, in our opinion. Of course, there’s also the matching wine: Champagne from Philipponnat at 21 francs a glass (not cheap), the cult rosé Whispering Angel (13 francs per deciliter), or a Tempranillo from Bodegas Rosario Vera at 15 francs a glass. Plus a whole host of good bottles.
