Zurich Restaurant Guide

You simply have to taste local specialties when traveling to different places. Among Zurich’s culinary classics are “Luxemburgerli”, “Birchermüesli”, and “Züri Gschnätzlets”. The most iconic restaurants – including some with a tradition stretching back 100 years and more – are a must on the Zurich program of every foodie.

Many Zurich chefs buy the fresh produce for their dishes directly from the market or team up with local producers. When it comes to wine, cheese, vegetables, or fish, the motto in Zurich is: regional and seasonal.

The locals love a hearty breakfast. Like-minded visitors will find a huge selection of restaurants and cafés in Zurich that serve breakfast.

If you’re watching your figure, keep on scrolling. Or turn a blind eye – because these restaurants do not pay much attention to calories or guests’ waistlines. Here the focus is much more on healing the soul ­­with comfort food.

Summer gives Zurich a real Mediterranean feel. At this time of year, many people spend much of their time outdoors. Countless restaurants and bars entice guests outside into the open air: onto the shores of Lake Zurich, into secluded gardens, or to the popular “Badi-Bars”.
