Brunch bars in Zurich - tested by Züriplausch

Babu's Bakery and Coffeehouse is the epitome of coffee & cake with 30 different coffees, homemade cakes and pastries. In addition to rich breakfast options, fresh salads, quiches, pasta, bagels, rösti and homemade soups are available throughout the day. The menu includes homemade iced teas, fresh juices and smoothies for refreshment.

My tip: Herb focaccia with grilled vegetables, rösti with salmon or bagel with avocado

The Restaurant/Café/Bar BANK is located directly on the busy Helvetia square and prepares various snacks with an oriental-Mediterranean touch. Besides various stuffed pitas, focaccia, roasted vegetables and salads, the menu also includes small meat and fish dishes. Perfect for sharing. Many dishes are vegetarian or vegan. From Monday to Friday there is a rich breakfast menu until 11 a.m., on weekends you can dine until 3 p.m. The bread comes right from next door from John Baker.

My tip:Octopus - Warm octopus salad, carrots, potatoes, peppers, chickpeas, tomatoes, coriander, crème fraîche, focaccia

I particularly like the warm atmosphere in the Bebek and the impressive interior design in the former tram depot. Even when the restaurant is full (almost always the case), one is warmly welcomed with the proposal to wait at the bar for a free table. In Bebek you can discover delicious oriental dishes, fine teas and other specialities all day long.

My tip: Big oriental breakfast and mezze plate. 

The Bros Beans & Beats stands for cordial service, high-quality coffee and pleasant sounds in a comfortable atmosphere. Besides coffee, there is breakfast, fine sandwiches, various salads and aperitif plates. Vegi or with meat/salmon. In summer you can also sit outside.

My tip: big vegetarian breakfast

At Café des Amis you are spoiled the whole day with delicious French and oriental dishes. Many people know the café for its breakfast or brunch. When the weather is nice you can sit outside. Perfect for coffee & cake, crèpe or an after-work drink with aperitif.

My tip: Sandwich with crispy house bread, smoked salmon and guacamole

Concept Gül

Elif Oskan, also known as Miss Marshall and from various pop-ups, has opened her own Turkish restaurant, Restaurant Gül. It's all about oriental hospitality, which is best celebrated with dishes from the ocakbasi (charcoal grill) and shared in keeping with the Turkish way of life. In summer, there are tables outside in the charming courtyard.

Elif and her team create dishes that are both contemporary and authentic. 🫶

🫒🫑🫓🍳🧅🥣 The brunch at Gül, which has already become somewhat famous (the restaurant was full when we visited 😉), is always served on Sundays, but also on Saturdays - and includes everything we like: grilled pointed peppers, delicious egg dishes, freshly baked ekmeks, simits and pides from our wood-fired oven, as well as kaymak (Turkish cream cheese), olives and homemade confi. And of course, depending on the season, fresh fruit.

My tip at Gül Restoran

Iskender chicken with tomatoes, yogurt & butter sauce. Served with Ekmek - homemade bread from the charcoal oven. 
And of course the BRUNCH :)

Roschen and his team spoil their guests at Kafi Freud with homemade granola, fine cakes, quiche and of course fresh coffee and chai. Cosy atmosphere with plenty of greenery, coffee house music and a selection of good books invite you to linger. On Saturdays there is also the brunch card with egg dishes, warm banana bread and much more

My Tip: Granola with yoghurt and fresh fruits

The Kafischnaps is a café and pub and is run with a lot of heart. The chef smokes fish himself, the meat comes exclusively from Swiss production from the butcher's shop and breakfast tastes so delicious until 4 pm. During the week there is a changing lunch menu. Wonderful in the evening for aperitifs with plättli.

My Tip: UUFKLAPPTI BREAD with marinated salad either with Chèvre Chaud or homemade salmon

The grain silo is a café and bakery in the beautiful mill Tiefenbrunnen in Seefeld. Breakfast is served every day, lunch from Monday to Friday and hearty and sweet crepes on weekends. From 3 p.m. the aperitif starts with cheese and sausage plates, various pots served with a bread basket and much more. In addition, the operators regularly invite to culinary events.

My tip: Have a coffee with friends at the weekend.

French flair with typical French bistro dishes can be found in the Salut SALON. In the traffic-calmed area of Weststrasse, it is a wonderful place to linger in fine weather.

The food is fresh and seasonal, with regional organic products as often as possible. For lunch during the week, there is a choice of a daily fish or meat dish and a vegetarian dish. At the weekend there is an à la carte menu. This is divided into dishes for small and large appetites with classics such as tartar, moules et frites, tarte flambée and entrecote "Cafe de Paris".

The wine cellar is well stocked with fine wines from France, Switzerland and other renowned wine regions.
