Bar/Restaurant Josef started 13 years ago in a residential area of Zurich. Back then it used to be a local favorite. The popularity reached its peak a few years ago, but Josef has once again re-emergedレストラン・ジョセフは、13年前にチューリッヒの住宅街にオープンした。当時は地域密着の店だった。人気は数年前に一度ピークを迎えたが、ジョセフは再びもっとも人気のあるレストランのひとつとして返り咲いた。
それはチューリッヒに拠点を置くアーティスト、アレン・クーパーが新しくデザインしたことがきっかけとなっている。バーの壁全体に、有名なミュージシャンやハリウッドスターのモノクロの写真のコラージュが飾られている。クーパーによるこの傑作は必見だ。
対照的にレストランには、シンプルな家具を置き、シャンデリアとちょっと変わったキラキラの壁が部屋を飾る。カジュアルでリラックスできる雰囲気なので平日の夜にぴったりだ。
料理は少なく見えるかもしれないが、食べてしまえば満腹になる量で、ハッピーな気分になれる。ジョセフの雰囲気や食事は、チューリッヒの他のどのレストランでも味わえない経験となるはず。

Translation: Kei Shimizu as one of the most popular restaurants after being redesigned by Zurich-based artist and DJ Alain “Rockmaster K.” Kupper.
A monochrome collage with photos of familiar faces, of musicians and Hollywood stars, covers the entire walls at the bar. This masterpiece by Kupper is a must-see, if you also went crazy covering your teenage room with posters.
In contrast, the simple furniture in the restaurant is enhanced by a chandelier and pixilated glitter foil wall covering. The tightly arranged tables give a cozy feeling. The entire atmosphere has a casual and relaxed atmosphere that makes you want to come back and chat with your best friends on weekday nights.
The menu for dinner is unique; there is no distinction between appetizer and main dish. Instead you can pick a number of small dishes from 15 choices depending on your appetite and mood. The price is based on the number of dishes you order, 2 dishes for CHF 35, 3 for CHF 45 and 4 for CHF 55 per person. It’s fun to coordinate your own dinner course, but the variety of attractive menu items makes the decision hard.
The menu changes seasonally, but to name a few from the current menu: beef tartar steak with shallots and capers with toast and butter on the side; roasted duck liver on porcini mushrooms and peaches; eggplant involtini filled with ricotta cheese and tomato sauce, decorated with cress salad on the top.
The chef at Josef decorates each plate with a touch of finesse and that also goes for desserts: Josef’s special chocolate cake with cream or baked goat cheese with honey and thyme.
The plates may seem small at first but you’ll leave happy and satisfied.
It’s an experience of atmosphere and food Josef does not share with any other restaurant in Zurich.
