Just off the lakeside in the Enge district, Weisses Rössli is a quiet, elegant spot where French and Mediterranean influences meet seasonal Swiss ingredients. The kitchen is led by a chef recognised by Gault & Millau, and when the weather allows, the garden terrace makes for a pleasant meal outdoors.

Kronenhalle

Kronenhalle

Kronenhalle has been a Zürich institution since 1924, known for classic Swiss and French dishes and a dining room adorned with original works by Chagall, Miró, Picasso and Klee. The restaurant has a sense of history and elegance, and it’s easy to imagine artists and writers lingering over a meal here. Prices are on the higher side, but the combination of food, atmosphere and the chance to dine among iconic artworks makes it a memorable experience.

Swiss Chuchi Restaurant

Swiss Chuchi Restaurant

Right in the heart of Zürich's Old Town inside Hotel Adler, Swiss Chuchi is a cosy spot dedicated to classic Swiss comfort food. It’s best known for its rich cheese fondues as well as raclette and dishes like Zürcher Geschnetzeltes (Zürich-style sliced veal). Warm and rustic inside, it’s a favourite for visitors looking to dive into traditional flavours, so booking ahead for dinner is wise, especially in winter.

Saigon

Saigon

Just a short stroll from the city centre, Saigon is a casual restaurant serving comforting dishes from southern Vietnam. Indulge in fragrant pho, fresh noodle bowls, colourful salads and flavourful soups bursting with herbs and spice.

Spaghetti Factory

Spaghetti Factory

Just off Rosenhof square in the heart of the Niederdorf quarter, Spaghetti Factory Rosenhof offers a casual setting with big bowls of pasta, fresh salads and plenty of choice. The menu ranges from classic spaghetti done simply to more inventive variations.

Volkshaus

Volkshaus

Volkshaus has been around since 1910 and still feels like stepping into another era. The dining room is spacious, with high-arched windows, dark wood, and soft jazz in the background. The menu focuses on Swiss classics with a modern twist, and the seasonal meat‑carving cart is a highlight. It’s a place that combines history and the city’s contemporary energy, making it a comfortable spot for a proper Zürich dinner.

Zeughauskeller

Zeughauskeller

This 15th-century former armoury is now a bustling beer hall on the Bahnhofstrasse. Sausages are the main draw here. There are over a dozen types, including one that’s a full metre long for the bold (or hungry) ones, and most recipes have been passed down and updated through generations. Alongside classic Swiss dishes like rösti and schnitzel, you’ll find big portions and draft beer served in a lively, wood-beamed space scattered with historic artefacts.

Weisses Rössli

Weisses Rössli

Just off the lakeside in the Enge district, Weisses Rössli is a quiet, elegant spot where French and Mediterranean influences meet seasonal Swiss ingredients. The kitchen is led by a chef recognised by Gault & Millau, and when the weather allows, the garden terrace makes for a pleasant meal outdoors. Dishes pair easily with wines from Switzerland, Italy and Spain, all carefully selected to complement the menu.

Didi's Frieden

Didi's Frieden

Just off Bahnhofstrasse, Didi’s Frieden delivers elegant dining with a distinctly Swiss flavour. The menu highlights include creative cordon bleu and veal dishes, crafted from high‑quality local ingredients. The interior is stylish without being showy, and the wine list is carefully selected to match the cuisine.

Blinde Kuh

Blinde Kuh

Blinde Kuh offers one of Zürich’s most unforgettable dining experiences: a meal enjoyed in near-total darkness, served by blind and partially sighted staff. With sight taken out of the equation, every sound, scent, and flavour comes into sharp focus, turning even a simple dish into something surprising and immersive. The menu changes weekly and is kept largely a mystery. It’s a popular spot and books up quickly, so plan ahead.
