After being ticked off that the laundry service in the Zurich Hilton Airport hotel (not too surprising but still annoying), I went searching for new clothes, at least some sock and underwear. The Airport stores obviously were over-priced for everything, until I wandered into Migros, which at first drew me in because they have food, grocery food you can buy and take home in a bag. I wandered to the back of the store and found Socks, Underwear and T-shirts and all priced, American style...affordable. So, even if I wear them and toss them it's worth a few bucks to have something clean to wear. So, for the price to have 1 shirt washed, I walked out with 3 pairs of underwear and 4 pairs of socks. The rest I have covered in my suitcase of still clean clothes. The food costs what you'd expect. The Baby bel cheese isn't $8 bucks like in the USA, it's $2.90 Fr. Nice.
Get something to drink and some food you can store in your room and enjoy. My company is run by Finance majors, which means you have a bunch of dudes and dudettes who came from college and have ZERO work experience, and are plopped behind a spreadsheet that has ruined companies and lives for nigh on 30 years now. How stupid is that? So, let's make up another discipline that speaks a language that few understand and ultimately get's people laid off, because of all the errors in trying to spreadsheet reality, and we'll take over the power pulpit. We'll call it common sense and you're only requirement is real job experience.
Am I pissed that I have to shop in a convenience store or inconvenient store because they are so flipping out of touch with reality? Yes, because they waste and waste and waste on numb nutz that travel to the company HQ and do nothing but mentally stroke each other.

Anyway, get your butt over to Migros, shop and be content. Highly recommended if you are stuck in the Zurich Airport Hilton and would like to eat food.

After shopping in the downtown Zurich, my wife and I were looking for a quick and tasty lunch maybe even buying a sandwich and eating on the run. The large Migros store had a great selection of fast food at the street level but we noticed it also had a restaurant on the sixth floor so we went there. It was a great choice offering a good selection of hot and cold food, reasonably priced and comfortable cafeteria seating with an outdoor balcony. We loved everything about it and would certainly recommend to similar minded travelers.

Last week I had a lunch at the Migros Restaurant near Bahnhofstrasse Zurich.....Guess all people know how costly it can get to have lunch or dinner in Zurich....

Migros restaurant offers good food (not excellent) for a reasonable price....their restaurants are simple and basic, no frills...but you don't go there to have a nice dining experience, you go there because you are hungry and you want some food......

so tourists who want a exceptional dining experience should not consider these restaurants.......

tourists who want good food at a good price, and continue visiting the city on foot or bus, then it fits your like a glove

Migros operates many little eateries in conjunction with their food store chain all over Switzerland. The food is very much cafeteria food, but the prices are reasonable and the restaurants are not a bad place to have a meal. As always, avoid during peak hours.

You get a large plate of salad in all Migros self-service restaurants in Zurich, and possibly in other cities as well, for unbelievable Fr. 12.50! Only on Wednesdays. On other days, you have to pay about Fr. 2.80/100 gram. My teenage son gets about 1.5 kilos of salad on his plate, worth of Fr. 45. All this for Fr. 12.50. Incredible value for hungry people!
