Thin slices of veal in a white-wine and cream sauce with mushrooms and a sliver of kidney, served with golden butter rosti. The dish that defines Zurich-style cooking.
The dish was first documented as Zueri Gschnaetzlets in Swiss cookbooks of the late nineteenth century. The cream-and-mushroom sauce is a twentieth-century refinement; older versions used a simple stock and brown roux. Today most zunfthaus dining rooms in Zurich serve it as the canonical pairing with butter rosti, though some chefs reach back to the leaner historical version. Visitors should ask whether the kidney is included; the classic recipe at Zunfthaus zur Waag keeps it. The dish is on the menu at every traditional zunfthaus in the old city.
