Sunday Opening – restaurants in Zürich
With a view of the rooftops of the Limmat city, chef Stefan Jäckel beguiles with classic dishes with a sophisticated twist. His great love of the sea is infectious and is reflected in the menu, but local ingredients such as in-house city honey also find their place.
Baur's combines classic elegance with refined cuisine: tradition and innovation in harmony. The menu offers classic brasserie dishes as well as creative vegetarian and vegan reinterpretations. Timeless excellence for connoisseurs.
At Bianchi, the fish is always fresh - no wonder, since the fishmonger behind it is Bianchi, who runs the restaurant together with Bindella. In the elegant restaurant on the Limmat, Italian Lucio Paiano cooks top-class Mediterranean fish cuisine.
Where Zurich's lakeside meets gastronomic sophistication. A paradise for gourmets, where first-class cuisine merges with the picturesque Alpine panorama. Pleasurable hours on the shores of Lake Zurich - in the garden of the top hotel, gastronomic delight becomes an art form.
At Gül, the friendly crew creates authentic Turkish cuisine. Indispensable: always order at least two Lahmacun for brunch and dinner. Tempting in summer: the idyllic garden terrace in the inner courtyard with midnight gelati from Tellhof.
Zurich's Kronenhalle with its accompanying world-class bar is an absolute cult address. For 100 years, friends, artists and business people have been coming and going here to enjoy the absolute classics of upscale Swiss cuisine.
This restaurant on the Adlisberg is a popular destination. With a beautiful view, you can enjoy Zürich specialties, seasonal delicacies and meat from the hot stone. The "Puurezmorge" made from local products, which is always available on Sunday mornings in the Kuhstall, is also great.
The Blau in the Hotel Greulich sees itself as a neighbourhood restaurant. But that does not mean that the cooking is not elaborate. Here, only the best ingredients go into the cooking pot, whether for breakfast, lunch, aperitif or dinner, where a modern, creative seasonal cuisine is served.
The Bürgli in Wollishofen is an institution. The robust house was built in 1864, and Regula Gloor Belide and Catharina Joss have been running the restaurant since 2003. A colourful cuisine made from fresh produce is served on the terrace with a far-reaching view, and in the beautiful guest room.
A classic among Zurich restaurants is the Conti. The Italian dishes here are prepared in the traditional way with great effort. Special highlights are the spaghetti all'astice with large pieces of lobster and the ravioli with roast stuffing.
Rosaly's offers uncomplicated fine dining in the middle of the city. From traditional Swiss dishes to Mediterranean delicacies, there is something to suit every guest. The wine cellar is also special and contains many exciting Swiss labels.
Saltz offers unusual design and all-day dining. The décor was designed by artist Rolf Sachs and, in contrast, Julian Mai cooks no-frills urban dishes using mainly regional ingredients, sometimes spiced up with luxury products.
Even if the view clearly proves that you are in Zurich, you sometimes feel like you are in Italy at Sonnenberg. Luigi Serpe's kitchen team serves excellently prepared specialties from the "bel paese," accompanied by fine Italian wines.
The trip to the Ziegelhütte is well worth it. You can reach it from Zurich in no time at all, but it still feels like you're in the country. Here you'll find down-to-earth cuisine made from local produce with lots of vegetables and meat from the neighbour, and a surprising wine list.
At the Japanese gastro pub Gaijin Izakaya, Chef Dan Shu prepares Japanese-Korean comfort food. This is accompanied by a wide selection of cocktails, sake and wines. If you can't make up your mind, choose the omakase menu and pass the buck to the kitchen.
The Obere Triemli has been owned by the same family since 1859 and is now run by the fifth generation with Fabian Gallmann. On the menu are traditional dishes from Switzerland, France and Italy, served in the secluded garden or in the cosy guest rooms.
The Bank is the meeting place in the heart of Zurich. The former bank branch on Helvetiaplatz serves everything from hearty breakfasts or brunches with bread from the neighbouring John Baker branch to healthy lunches and Mediterranean dinners.
Brasserie Lipp is the traditional restaurant in Zurich for fans of the Parisian lifestyle. Great wine list, great fish and delicious seafood. Enjoying an oyster with a glass of Champagne and watching passers-by walk by - what could be better?
