The 10 best restaurants around sights in Zurich

The Bauernschänke deliberately offers small dishes to share. So you can taste the whole range of cuisine. The dishes are seasonal and complex, yet uncomplicated. There is also an exciting wine list with around 250 labels for every taste.

The Neue Taverne in the Old Town offers a neighbourhood atmosphere and contemporary plant-based cuisine in a sharing menu concept of the highest standard. The nature-based wine list and emphasis on vegetables make the Neue Taverne a delightful experience for all.

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.

At the cozy Lotti, it's quite possible to forget the hustle and bustle of downtown Zurich for a moment. Warm hosts, delicious coffee, a small lunch menu, and meat and vegetables from the wood-fired grill in the evening. Enjoyment can be this simple and delicious.

Restaurant, toast snack or concert venue, the Rank successfully mixes up the front part of the Dörfli. The young chef Michaela Frank and her team cook the most delicious creations, which are not a bit inferior to the creativity of the performing musicians.

Much Italian charm radiates from the Trattoria Sempre in the Niederdorf. Not only because of the many Italian souvenirs, but also because of the simple and therefore authentic piatti tipici. It makes you feel like you're at home with an extended Italian family.

Although the name suggests otherwise, drinks are only a secondary matter at the Kunsthaus Bar. Between modern art and design, the restaurant seduces with precise, clever dishes. A gastronomic flight of fancy in the middle of Zurich.

At the foot of the Grossmünster, Le Dézaley is the place of Welsch hospitality and cosiness. Seasonal specialties and exquisite wines from French-speaking Switzerland are served. The traditional fondue with ripe "Surchoix" cheese is highly recommended.

Italian hospitality is celebrated at Gattopardo. Just as typically Italian is the menu, which is divided into homemade antipasti, paste, pesci, carni and dolci. Somewhat more exotic is the wine list, which includes Italian as well as Spanish drops.

In summer, the whole of Zurich gathers at the pavilion by the lake, the pumping station. Here you can drink and barbecue: vegetables, sausage, but above all the famous “Pumpi-Spiess”. The food – like the service and the atmosphere – is relaxed and uncomplicated.
