Zürich of course offers typical swiss dishes, like Fondue (melted cheese in which you dip pieces of bread), Raclette (melted cheese with potatoes, from Wallis), Rösti (potatoes), Spätzli and typical swiss Cervelat (a big sausage served with a "Bürli", piece of bread).
But since it also is very multicultural, you can find food from a lot of foreign cultures. Of course, the classics like Burgers, French food, Italian and German, but also Japanese, Chinese, Thai, Turkish, South Korean, Jordan or even Moroccan.

This very small posh café is where the creative bankers' scene of Zurich holds their "meetings". They'll have a coffee, a drink and a chat. Oh and they'll want to be seen. Come in the early afternoon on a Friday and you'll see beautiful people taking a sip of their cocktail.

Almost everything about this place deserves the label artisanal. The food is local, seasonal, healthy & tasty. The interior is what I would describe as a modern yet rustic interior industrial garden. It's located in a lovely residential area where more and more cafes and restaurants pop up but where you usually wouldn't go as a tourist.

You read that right. This shop (please note the two dots over the "Ä", to not mix it up with something else) collects unsold food from different places, and sells it for way cheaper. This means that you can find all kind of bakery, from strawberry cakes to sandwiches for half the price and still perfectly good !

Ms. Gerold's Garden is where locals meet for an unpretentious beer after work or a Sunday brunch, meeting friends (only in summer, from April to October). Everyone will be there anyways, so you can even come alone.

If you've been to Budapest and know what a Ruin Pub is, then you'll get the analogy here. This is a huge pub on three floors which literally sweats personality: it has an old Rock n' Roll atmosphere, their own brew beer for 5 CHF, and sweet 60's music in the background. Important football matches are projected in the top floor.

Zurichians love their life sustainable and this joint delivers exactly that: yummy food with a seasonal touch from happy animals and organic farming. The founder, formerly a pilot, has opened a first restaurant in suburban Oerlikon in 2008 and has then expanded into the city in 2013.

This restaurant is conveniently located near the Langstrasse quarter. Locals go here for a tasty lunch when they're fed up with the usual grub. Alternatively you can come for supper and hit the clubs with a hearty foundation. This broth goes a long way!

Zürich is a multicultural city, which means that you can get food from many different countries throughout the city. If your thing is asian food, and more precisely japanese food, this is you address. Go there for authentic japanese food made with love (ramen, udon, and of course sake).

Any time of the day is a good time to stop at this nice place, conveniently located close to two bus stops. The place is set in a former butchery, with wooden tables and plenty of space at the windows to chat or read the papers.

Vegetarian food at its finest. Hiltl is always busy but cosy anyway due to a great interiour design. It has a great variety of vegetarian dishes to choose from. In my personal opinion its not only suitable for vegetarians but something for everyone.

Just entering this friendly place will put you in a good mood. The only bad thing is that you can’t eat all the delicious, Italian style ice cream flavors at once! There are usually 30 different tastes to choose from.
You can also get good coffee here.
Of course it’s best in the Summer when you can sit outside - They have a cozy backyard.

The Rio Bar is located very close to the shopping regions Bahnhofstrasse and Europaallee as well as the main station. This proximity to the public transport makes it a great location to meet friends who are passing through Zurich, or to gather for a last drink after a weekend trip out of town. It has a nice Terrasse located next to it.

I used to live very close by and called it my "village" because you can get everything you need here: all kinds of shops and services, a gym, dentist, restaurants, hotel, cinema, daycare, club even a "church" (prayer room open to all faiths). There are also seasonal activities on the square like a beach bar in Summer or a fondue hut in Winter.

This tiny restaurant isn't even know by many locals. Its somewhat shabby looks might keep away the big crowds, but once you've tasted the food for sure you'll become friends with this corner. One more plus: the dishes in this restaurant are great value.

Grande is a really small Café located not far from the main station and just next to the main river of Zürich, the Limmat. Its nice small terrace is always full on sunny days, mainly because their coffee probably is one of the best in town. The crowd hanging there goes from Coffee addicts to students chilling, good spot to start you day.
