The best Swiss restaurants Zurich

The Walliser Keller, located a little way off the main tourist street of the town, offers a wide range of Swiss specialities. The restaurant has a vaulted ceiling and rustic decor, and the traditional fondue and raclette dishes are the main attraction. You will be spoilt for choice. In season, you can enjoy a pretty and quiet terrace. Warm and smiling service.

Established since 2005 in Kreis 4, where trendy new restaurants are springing up like mushrooms, the Eichhörnli restaurant offers well-executed Swiss cuisine with French-Italian influences. Here, flavors come together with great delicacy. Dishes are generous and seasonal. It doesn't take long to feel at home in this cozy little space so popular with Zurich locals! Specialties include the famous "Café de Paris" entrecôte and veal liver with onions and sage, accompanied by the famous röstis. Reservations recommended.

Marktküche means "market cuisine". As the name suggests, this establishment works exclusively with fresh, local produce. What's more, the menu is strictly vegan. The chef offers a varied, creative and subtle cuisine that marries Swiss tradition with the flavors of the world to delight the taste buds. The result is surprising and highly successful, with beautiful, tasty and colorful dishes... and the deep feeling of having eaten healthily but with great gourmet pleasure. Excellent wine list. Professional service.

Shaded by imposing chestnut trees and illuminated by a string of lanterns, Neumarkt's inner courtyard is a true wonder in summertime. The interior is just as welcoming, with its elegant, warm atmosphere. The menu features market-fresh, local and organic cuisine, successfully blending authentic Swiss and international dishes. Last but not least, the impressive wine list showcases local vintages and Swiss wines in particular! An address to remember on your visit to Zurich.

In the increasingly fashionable Kreis 4, Cafe Boy is a neighborhood mainstay for locals. In a distinguished bistro atmosphere, Jann and his talented team prepare Swiss cuisine with a touch of creativity and great taste. The menu is seasonal and selective, while the wine list is extensive. We'll be delighted to advise you on your food and wine pairings! For lunch, two lunchtime formulas are available, one of which is vegetarian. On the menu: soups, salads and gourmet dishes.

Why Kiosk? Because where this lakeside restaurant used to be, there used to be a kiosk! In the picturesque port of Riesbach, nestled in Zurich's largest urban park, you can lunch or dine here à la bonne franquette: salads and grilled meats in summer, pizzas, focaccias, fresh pastas, but also typical grilled sausages with French fries or more classic dishes of the day. The large, colorful terrace, where the sun dances on the pearly waters of the lake, is very pleasant at any time of day. A cheerful atmosphere and efficient service.
