Food Festivals in Zurich

Street food at the Hardturmbrache, market stalls in the train station concourse, wine tastings by the lake: These food festivals define the culinary year in Zurich.

Zurich is considered a “food hotspot” – and not just because of the city’s roughly 1 500 restaurants. In addition to street food and wine, beer fans, chocolate lovers, and anyone who appreciates fresh bread will find something to their liking. The best spots are highlighted.
