Eat & Drink

Sweet, savory, vegan, fusion, or molecular?

Zurich’s cuisine knows no limits when it comes to food. Besides regional specialties such as “Zürcher Geschnätzeltes” and “Rösti”, food lovers can find international trends, new interpretations, and culinary rarities. Zurich’s widely traveled chefs love to combine their inspirations from far-off lands with local produce. This is reflected in the outstanding quality and readiness to experiment in the food hotspot, Zurich.

All Restaurants in Zurich

Sampling local specialties is an unmissable part of any trip. Zurich’s culinary classics include “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.

Porridge, pancakes, or ice cream? Zurich has indulgent delights in store for early birds and late risers alike. In elegant cafés or traditional confectioneries, breakfast culture and artisan desserts come together to create the perfect start to the day – or a sweet interlude at any hour.

Some people like to splash out on elegance, while others prefer no-frills dining. Zurich’s gastronomic scene is as varied as its guests. From Michelin-starred restaurants to soul food burgers, from sustainable vegan cooking to “Apéros“ with a view, these venues show great taste.

Zurich‘s nights begin with a glass of wine – or end with a perfectly mixed negroni. And in between? Creative signature drinks, specialty beers, and a wide range of atmospheric places to meet up.

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”.
