Known as the "sweet corner" by the locals, Conditorei Schober is a stalwart in Zurich's dessert menu having dated back to the mid 19th century as a confectionary and coffee shop. The historic café has since been revamped by restaurateur Michel Péclard while keeping some of the history intact.
Traces of the past can still be found at Schober including the old-fashioned cashier, which has been kept in very good shape.
And the first-floor tea salon took us on a trip down memory lane.
One thing is certain - they have some of the best French tartes and pastries in Zurich.
Caramel Fleur de Sel (CHF 8.5) - Love the nice balance of sweetness and bitterness from the caramel and chocolate mousse. Very delicate and silky.
Schokoladen Trio (CHF 8.5) - A nice combination of chocolate, mango and raspberry mousse sitting on a lovely sponge cake with various flavors (pistachio, mango?). A very insta-worthy dessert!
St. Honore (CHF 8) - Probably the less successful one of the three. The chantilly cream looked a little messy but nothing wrong with the flavors though.
It's still pretty early for lunch so we should have enough time to catch Grossmünster, Zürich Town Hall and a couple other attractions before our lunch booking at Zeughauskeller.
