    We ordered the classic Swiss dishes: cervelat salad, veal stew with rosti (Geschnetzeltes) and chicken schnitzel. Unfortunately the food were not anywhere close to what the previous chef served and most definitely not up to Swiss standards. The schnitzel was under flavoured but cooked well. The cervelat salad was served with plenty of greens (not how it’s usually done in Switzerland), has a strange dressing and the cheese and cervelat was cut haphazardly. The geschnetzeltes was also way overcooked and the sauce strangely over salted. The service was still pretty good and the new renovation very nice. Overall, it’s a real disappointment because prior to it closing this was THE place to go for authentic good Swiss food.

    It's great to see the Swiss Club reopened under new management in the very nicely refurbished space above Flinders Lane. There's still an excellent menu of moderately priced Swiss dishes, with a broad wine list and multiple beers on tap or bottled. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!
