The 10 best guesthouses in Zurich
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.
The Huusbeiz is a intimate gourmet restaurant on Badenerstrasse with a cosy terrace. With the from-nose-to-tail philosophy, the team makes optimal use of animal and plant resources. We recommend the surprise menu with matching wine accompaniment.
No student in Zurich has managed to get around the Oepfelchammer. The legendary pub in Zurich's old town was already the regular pub of Gottfried Keller himself. Here, the atmosphere is uncomplicated, hearty and honest.
With a symbiosis of rustic charm and contemporary flair, the Bederhof restaurant serves great pickled classics. Whether Wiener Schnitzel, marrow leg or artichoke with vinaigrette - here tradition is combined with pleasure in every bite.
Even under new management, the Vereinigung remains "brachial seasonal" (brutally seasonal). The young restaurateurs who took over the neighbourhood restaurant in 2022 focus on a small menu with simple but tasty dishes and an equally small but fine selection of wines.
Hopfenau is one of the city's neighbourhood gems. Sustainable and regional products are carefully prepared here according to the art of cooking. Simple but incredibly delicious dishes and welcoming hosts, that's how good gastronomy works.
Neighbourhood pubs run with love are a rare commodity in the city of Zurich. The Gasthof Falken near the Schmiede Wiedikon belongs to this category. On the menu you'll find Zurich classics, supplemented by a few more unusual dishes - the main thing is that everything is delicious and local.
In addition to the fine Zurich Geschnetzel, the menu of the Weinstube zur Haue features mainly Italian specialities. The friendly host Chris Rizzo does everything to make guests feel at home during their visit. The ambience is rustic and cosy.
Whether in the cosy restaurant or on the sweet terrace in the shade, the Gertrudhof is completely committed to the cordon bleu. The classic is served here in a wide variety of variations, optionally also meatless.
