Eyup. St. Gallerhof is... okee-ish but the menu is getting old.
Also, it is mostly convenience food being served and the choices
for a dessert are just the "Kalte Lust" ice creams.
At least they have free Wi-Fi by Monzoon though.

Fabian suggested the Weinstube 1923 near the Central Polybahn
Station. I've not yet been there though.
Another restaurant close to the Zürich HB would be the Simplon
Bar. They serve some of the best Flammkuchen in Zürich, but
there is no possibility to sit outside. And they have no Wi-Fi
at all. (Although that only needs a power socket to run a
temporary Freifunk node.)

Not a bad idea. Taking part of a virtual meeting while being in
a restaurant just does not work.

There is always something!

I also have other Meetings on Fridays sometime. Oki, the Nemesis
meeting kind of died out since some of the participants finished
the main quest. There is the Synthesizer Bodensee Talk
sometimes and, then, well... Friday. :)

Yes!

Yes! Poll! Democracy! \O/
