Café Bar ODEON - fast service, relaxing atmosphere, good music. Try the oysters with a splash of prosecco😀...

As a tourist, you have to accept that prices in Switzerland are a bit higher. We had two apple strudels and two coffees. We sat outside, which we really enjoyed. The fact that the sidewalk runs through the outdoor seating area wasn't a problem. The service was good, the location almost perfect, and the apple strudel was truly delicious – I'd never had that version before. Water was also served with the coffee, which I appreciated. We would definitely go back.

Waiters simply ignore customers. You can sit at the table for hours, no greetings, no apologies, arrogance with terrible service.
