Blinde Kuh Mühlebachstrasse 148 - 01 421 50 50 moderate A very special place, run by blind people, you can eat in absolute Darkness. The food tastes much better, and there is no way of telling if other people are visually impaired or not. You will be guided in by staff (who know where you will sit) and you learn to eat in Darkness. \nFood is great, but you'll have no idea how it looks. Cuisine: Swiss Review:Nothing for a blind date... As I can remember, the atmosphere there was really interesting. You can just feel and smell your food. But for me the food was not really special. By the way: It's a good place to eat by hand because nobody can see you... I would also recommend not to wear any white clothes! Review:Special Ambience You eat in the dark, very special cool feeling.

Santa Lucia Marktgasse 21 - 01 262 36 26 moderate Italian restaurant from Bindella's chain in the center of Zurich. Cuisine: Italian Recommended Dishes:pizza calabrese Calzone - very nicely done! Calzone - huge and tasty Review:Excellent Pizza Excellent wood-oven pizza, open late, friendly staff. Review:Santa Lucia review
Review:I keep going back - it is that good! Apart from the lack of a non-smoking section (although the friendly waiter did put us next to an open window where the incoming breeze kept us relatively smoke-free) - the place "heaves" with people and is obviously popular with the locals. Every time I visit Zurich (monthly) I visit Santa Lucia for good food, good service and good atmosphere.
