Wurstsalat is the Best Salat
If you think “wurst”salat (essentially a salad garnished with bologna-channeling sausage rings) is the “best” salat, then you’ll want to visit Restaurant Zur Harmonie.
A casual neighborhood eatery, Zur Harmonie’s extensive and reasonably priced menu features an excellent wurstsalat mit pommes (french fries) as well as other tasty traditional Swiss fare like rösti and one of my personal favorites - kaeseschnitte (essential fondue on a plate). They also serve good pasta and seafood dishes, all at a decent price.
But whether or not you’re into wurst, Zur Harmonie is worth the trip for one reason alone: the french fries. A plate of Zur Harmonie fries and a cold beer is indeed one of best treats in town.

[…] An inexplicable item that appeared to be a string of salamis coated in Elmer’s glue hung over the second floor’s open balcony (the bar is downstairs and food will be served upstairs) and was the only nod toward the ‘deli’ that I could find. When I asked the friendly bartender, she said the food menu will change daily and will feature a couple of different pastas and other light fare, using fresh ingredients. (Give it a try and let me know how it is or head across the street for some tried and true food at Restaurant zur Harmonie http://www.balehoo.balehoo.com/2006/10/13/wurstsalat-is-the-best-salat/) […]
