Central in Affoltern am Albis

Various tartare also vegan. Very fine menus. Attentive service. Upscale ambience.

Friendly, attentive service, great menu with changing daily specials. Lovingly prepared and tasty. Cozy ambience and pleasant background noise even when the restaurant is busy. What more do you want?

Still one of the best addresses in Affoltern am Albis.

Simply great. The food was super delicious, the service was very accommodating and the interior of the restaurant made you feel comfortable. Highly Recommended. Bravo!

A very well-kept ambience and a warm welcome. The fireplace makes it luxurious and pleasant to hang out with pleasant staff. The food is very tasty, except the mushroom sauce was a little too thick and too plain. It's like it's from a can. Considering the prices, I think you should use a home-made sauce with a little more personality. I also think it is not appropriate for such a restaurant to serve pomes as if it were from McDonald's. So my advice is to give a little more personality because we want to enjoy the flavors of the food. The meat was perfectly delicious. I don't know, but it's a little strange that they don't have anything from chicken except the artificial one that had a rubbery taste. The menu is also a bit sparse, maybe the owner is focused only on veal. It was a bit more difficult for us vegetarians to choose, so I cannot recommend the restaurant any further. But come and make your own impression, maybe you will like it.

Good cuisine and very great staff.

Very nice location with excellent food and friendly, attentive staff.

You just immediately feel at home when you enter the restaurant👍

We had our Christmas dinner at Central and had a great time together. The service, the food and the ambience were awesome. Also a big thank you to Philipp, our host for the evening, who gave us an unforgettable evening. Clearly deserves 5 out of 5 stars.

The food was great, Philipp is a great host, it's really worth it... the decor is also very nice. Had a very pleasant evening at Central

Cozy restaurant, great food and a varied wine list. The service was top, friendly, courteous and professional. Highly recommended!

Great service and fine food in a stylish atmosphere. Very suitable for a business launch with customers. Always happy...

Wow, this was our first time in this restaurant. The service and food were terrific despite the high number of guests. Many thanks. Keep it up and see you another time.

Good food and courteous service.

Very friendly service, meatloaf was ok, amuse bouche oh well

Our favorite tartare has been changed in the current menu. Our wish to be able to order the "old" Japan was denied by the managing director. It's a shame - that's not how you should treat loyal, long-term customers.

I have never experienced such a child-friendly restaurant and the food was to die for. Very nice staff. Definitely coming back.

Food was a 10/10…. and very competent and above all friendly, good-humoured service. It was a great evening

Greetings from the kitchen were the best (süppli)

Very well-kept atmosphere and a warm welcome - large selection of different dishes and ingredients - a poem that is then served on the plate - everything is served at the table by trained staff. explained and explained - the staff is very friendly and accommodating! A visit is worth it

Very good restaurant, waiters very attentive, you are welcomed very professionally and warmly, the quality of the dishes is top! The service is very quick, I always like to come here when I'm in the area on business, and the prices are more than fair. Thumbs up!

Lunch was good - salad, soup included in the menu. Service isn't even what it was.

Spontaneous restaurant decision that we don't regret! Good Swiss cuisine cooked by Hille and Tobi, fair prices and pleasant, friendly service. We'll definitely be back!!!

very good tartare and otherwise tasty and good!

Very good food, very pleasant service, cozy, nice decor. Parking spaces in front of the house or in the immediate vicinity. We would love to come again.

The food was great. I had one of the best tartare I have ever eaten. Service was friendly and organized. A bit inconspicuous from the outside, but beautifully done inside.

Superbly eaten! The meat melted on the tongue. Service friendly, atmosphere modern and cozy. I would be happy to come back 👍🏼

Even though the doors were closed, there was quite a draft. The consequence was that I took home a slight cold on my neck. My partner also felt the draft...

Absolutely great restaurant.. great food, super friendly and professional staff. It couldn't be better. I can only recommend!

We were at Central on Friday, January 6th, 2023 and were served by Martin. Despite the full house, he was always attentive and very friendly! We both had a tartare which was very tasty! These are the reasons why we keep coming back!

The food is delicious, the service is extremely friendly and attentive. Always worth a visit. Thanks!

New innkeeper, unfortunately no more recommendation for me. Price performance not justified. Beef leather entrecote 56.- placed on the empty plate in the middle, a fly shot of herb butter and the fries separately in a bowl. No decoration nothing. Meat was well fried but service didn't ask about the cooking level... unfortunately on this cold evening my feet were very cold after just 15 minutes. Table 77.

The service was very friendly. The starters and various salads were carelessly prepared and not fresh. The tartare was ok.

Very fine dishes and beautifully prepared. Unfortunately there was a bit too little sauce, but it could be reordered.

Very friendly service, ambience fits very well, modern and yet somewhat traditional. Food very good and prices fair. Will definitely come back!

Food excellent as always! Service attentive, courteous and extremely attractive.

Food great! Service excellent! Thanks!

Very good food, great service staff

Not sure where to start This was our first visit to the reopened Central. We had been here a couple of times before the new owners took over. The look has not changed much from before. The table arrangement, the fixtures, and the vibe are familiar. We recognized some staff as also have worked there before as well. We were seated promptly, menus brought, and aperitifs ordered and delivered. Shortly after orders were placed. This is where the normal experience ended. One at our table had ordered a glass of wine with dinner which arrived while the prosecco was still half full and entrees not yet seen. The waiter offered a sampling of red wine to 2 others which they were pleased to try. Very nice wine as well. The waiter returned and asked if they wanted to try the second wine and pour this into the same glasses even though there were 2 empty glasses on the table. Entrees arrived, 2 Rehpfeffer and one other. Two ordered a different glass of red wine for dinner which he brought and wanted to pour into the same tasting glasses as before but was interrupted. The waiter seemed a bit irritated. New glasses came and the wine was very pleasant. Dinner was eaten but the Rehpfeffer was very dry with little of the rich sauce we expected. Also, very little taste of pepper was found. We mentioned this to the waiter and he said he would pass this on to the kitchen. This was all OK but unexpected. The time came to clear the table and the waiter was losing some of his style, reaching across our seats to get the next plate. Asking us to assist in moving the plates. Well, ok, this is really not a big deal but Central positions itself as a higher-class restaurant. Entrees run from 30-50 Swiss Francs and a glass of wine can cost you 12 Sfr. This is not the service I would expect in an establishment like this. Dinner was over and we chatted a bit. We spoke about the food which was OK, but room for improvement. The service, while the waiter appeared to “want” to bring more to the experience, made more mistakes than the right ones. However, it was then that the table next to ours became very loud. We thought it was a very loud discussion about a football match but it wasn’t. It was the same waiter arguing with the patrons. He was saying “I do not have to take your comments” and asking the guests to leave. The shouting match continued for nearly 5 minutes with the other staff unable/unwilling to intervene. Finally, a person from the kitchen came out and removed the waiter, and announced the manager would be coming. The manager came but we were finished. This was not the experience we came for. We paid and said goodbye. We could only talk about this incredible experience which we wanted to forget. I have waited a day to write this review. I have spoken with the others with me about their thoughts a day later to see if we still feel the same. My opinion is this restaurant is trying hard but has many places to work on. We agreed we will not be coming back to Central for some time. There are many other places to eat in and around Affoltern which serve good food and excellent experiences.

Ambience still great, food mediocre, okay...

The conversion was very successful. Very polite service and the food was tasty

Cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, good food, what more could you want. 😋😋And my 🐾 can go to the restaurant 🙏😍

Specializes in tartare in various variations. Top service

Wonderful restaurant, the service is warm and cordial. The kitchen tries very hard. Even if you're really hungry, you're always happy to get a second helping. We recommend

Very fine food and the service is also very good. Happy to come back!

Great team, great dynamics, very friendly, food was just great, everything was perfect, the meat was on point, the risotto was simple, mega, there's nothing to complain about. I cook the same thing and really like risotto You can hardly see it. Here I come again, very nice guys, keep it up Quality always pays respect and tradition is everything in the kitchen Bravo

We were here for the first time and we are very excited! Everything is freshly prepared and high quality! The team is very attentive and professional! We would love to come back ☺️ Thank you very much!

The food at the Expo was catastrophic… Hello, salmonella The boiled meat salad looks like dog food, never seen anything like it

Surprisingly nice restaurant. More after another visit here.

The meal was very tasty. The highlight was our service. The gentleman was great, friendly, attentive and took time for us. We had a great evening.

Service great, food fine & ambience dignified. I like it.

Nice restaurant with friendly service and lunch tasted very good. I can happily recommend it.

friendly, competent service, very good quality food at reasonable prices

Very friendly and competent service, fine food! Completely satisfied, what more could you want! We'd love to come back!

Great food, very nice restaurant and service 👍

PLUS: Visited for the first time since reopening. Nicely furnished, friendly service, not overpriced, extensive daily menu. MINUS: Very loud, even for lunchtime. We tried all menu items. The preparation of the - in itself very original - dishes is really not for gourmets. The kitchen still has a lot of room for improvement.

Great, young, determined team. Great quality and idyllic ambience. Always happy to be at the start. Chicken goulash rewarded!

The renovation of the restaurant was very successful. The food was super delicious (the risotto was a dream and the tuna tartare was simply great). We will be happy to come back.

I went into it on a positive note and communicated my conclusion to the cellar, which wasn't quite as positive, which is a shame

Very competent advice, large selection, highly recommended

Very good audience. Food excellent. Claudia Hofman is a business leader that will be missed in most places.

We ate very well, the price for veal chops for 2 people was upper limit. But the taste was excellent! Risotto rather bland.. Fish, pasta, Zürigeschnetzeltes super tasty... But what I would like to highlight was Leonie's service! Rarely have I received such friendly and competent service! Thank you very much!

Delicious food, friendly and attentive service, nice ambience, everything top

Opening today after the renovation. Super nice service, great ambience. I'm looking forward to the meatloaf with mashed potatoes...🍷🍽... See you soon...

The best choice! Great restaurant. Els is simply the best! And of course your team!

Thank you for the fine, efficient service& good food & wines

Very good and very fine food and the service was top👍

The BEST host team in the entire region for many years. Thank you for the enjoyable moments, and all the best!

Very fine cuisine, nice staff, very cozy even if a bit noisy

Atmosphere and decoration… top Service...top Kitchen…creativity & presentation…room for improvement In this price league… desirable

Top service, slow but efficient, thank you, it was great food!!!

Friendly staff and very good food

We had the dishes from the game menu and it was simply excellent. In addition, a very warm and cozy atmosphere with very friendly service. Can only recommend this establishment to everyone.

Wonderful service and very fine food. Price / offer: Very good. I'd love to come back.

Friendly service and a warm welcome

Pretty proud prices for what's available. The butter for the toast for starters -Tatar was larger than the mini tartar. The meatloaf was like rubber... a shame for the money. The staff was super friendly, very accommodating and in a good mood, they saved the evening...

Once again we ate very well and the staff were very friendly and attentive!

Well, the facility is getting old. The quality of the food, however, is very good! The tartare are great and there is also a vegan option available which tastes great. Very tasty and friendly staff, we always like coming to Central.

Four of us had dinner at this restaurant last night. If you just walk up to this house you will be greeted at the door with warm candlelight. After entering you will be greeted warmly and escorted to your table. I immediately noticed the very soothing, almost mystical atmosphere. Candles burn everywhere, not just on the tables. The lighting is dimmed, so the flickering of the fireplace really comes into its own. You have the feeling that a different world order applies here. You are so beautifully taken away from everyday life and leave it behind you for a few hours. The service is absolutely excellent (5 stars!). You will be served like a king, very friendly and attentive. The food, to put it simply, is a stunner, not very cheap! Everything tastes very fine. A treat for the mouth, stomach and soul. My recommendation: Visit this restaurant and let your soul unwind for 2-3 hours and escape from everyday life. I would like to thank Els, the boss and the entire team for the absolutely wonderful and dignified evening. See you soon again!

Great landlady and very good staff, very friendly and attentive. Top food, highly recommended. Keep it up. Thank you

Furnished like it was 40 years ago... we were served in a friendly and attentive manner by Leonie. Nut salad with egg (which is why it is always served separately) with a fine homemade French sauce. Irish beef fillet and entrecote are served tenderly and to the desired degree of doneness. Fries good, risotto side dish rather average. Pepper sauce a bit boring, as well as herb butter.

Good solid cuisine. Menu is pretty manageable. Large wine list. Price-performance ratio fits.

The restaurant really appealed to us straight away. The reception was accordingly! Very friendly and competent! The lunch tasted so good that we immediately made reservations for 6 people that same evening!! We were richly rewarded in all respects! Everyone, without exception, was thrilled by the extensive, great selection and praised the dishes served with great enthusiasm!! The desserts were the icing on the cake!! The birthday child was politely congratulated in a distinguished manner by the management and the qualified service staff, with a great table decoration!! All in all, it was a great, successful, unforgettable evening for everyone that we will remember for a long time!! The house is highly recommended!! Price/performance ratio is 100%!! We will be back!!

Very friendly service, and the tartare was sensational!👍👍👍

Good food served decoratively. Friendly staff.

FANTASTIC place to visit, DELICIOUS sweets, nice staff.

As always, great, service great, food great, even the weather was great.

Our food was amazing. We would Warmly welcomed and said goodbye at the end. We always enjoy our visit to the restaurant. Very friendly staff.

Nice, courteous service. The meal was excellent.

Sehr herzliche Bedienung trotz schwieriger Umstände.Der Gast wird sehr geschätzt.

Angenehme Atmosphäre,nette Mitarbeiter. Gegessen habe ich nichts,Kaffee war gut

Ja, wir können wieder ins Central! Menü 1 von heute

Tatar war perfekt.Frisch mit Liebe zubereitet.10 von 10 Punkte.Ist einfach das Beste.

Liebe Els, das Tatar war wieder einmal sehr lecker😋 Das Central ist auch in der jetzigen Zeit, eine gute Adresse für einen feinen Gaumenschmaus 😉

Es ist tatsächlich so : Best Tatar in town auch während Corona. Leckere Qualität und toller Service.

War schon öfters im central und habe auch schon mehrmals das Rindsfilet vom Grill genommen. Für 200gr ist der Preis 47.- . Jedoch müssen für Pommes und Gemüse zusätzlich je 7.50 bezahlt werden! Schade! War früher nicht so, da war alles inkl. Das Fleisch war dennoch sehr lecker! Als wir das Personal darauf aufmerksam machten das der Nüsslisalat nicht sauber gewaschen war (gesandet), reagierte dieses mit einem ooohhhh! Und das wars dann auch schon. Das flüssige Schokoladenküchlein zum Dessert, war leider nicht flüssig. Schade dieses mal wurden meine Erwartungen nicht erfüllt.

Auch in Corona Zeiten ein sicherer Aufenthalt dank vernünftigen Tischabständen. Das Essen hat uns wunderbar geschmeckt und der Service ist rundum zufriedenstellend und persönlich.

Esse super Bedienig super sehr empfehlenswert. Danke

I really enjoy eating here. The prices are always great with the quality, the place is cozy , the staff is friendly and the food is very nice. They have fish which is always nice ! Also they live wine and have nice open wines as well as great bottles. Overall a great restaurant the way it should be for the price
