This is a very quaint café right in the heart of altstadt. It's run as a "ma and pa" shop, which makes it feel like a special experience. The two owners seemed nice, and they were quick to serve us. They serve traditional switzerland meals, something everyone should try while visiting. I had the schnitzel und pommes, while my friend had the fried fish and fries. The schnitzel was absolutely delicious! I highly recommend you stop here during your visit to Switzerland. My only suggestion to the owners would be to play some nice, light ambient music. There was no music on when we went. The right music would set the vibe just right

Exactly what we were looking for. The sandwiches are simple and delicious and the salad with chicken fingers was great as well. Friendly service.

We had a lovely lunch experience at Corso. Low key, only 9 tables and about 5 seats around the bar. It seemed a neighborhood site as all the people seemed to know each other and enjoyed their time together. The goulash soup and the egg roll salad were both good. Id definitely go back.

I have been to Cafe Corso so many times over the last 13 years. Food is always excellent and good value. The owner is always very friendly and the restaurant is always immaculate.
