Our own interpretation of a Japanese Izakaya. Would you like to have The best Fucking chicken burger in Zurich? Come to Gaijin Izakaya, Zurich’s Modern Asian Restaurant. Robata Grilled Swiss Local Meats, Omakase Menu for Dinner. Why go anywhere else?

Modern, fresh interpretation of international cuisine, with a hipster touch. And a bar. The small restaurant in central Zurich’s District 4 offers no à la carte options. Instead, diners submit their evening to the expertise of chef Marius Frehner, whose menu changes from day to day. His gastronomic concept, however, remains constant: A steadfast commitment to sustainability, taking guests back to the basics, and a reminder to the palette that when ingredients are of the highest quality, less is always more.

Gasthaus Zum Guten Glück is located on the former transit axis in the middle of the now quiet Wiedikon neighborhood. Zum Glück is a relaxed café, lunch restaurant, and cozy bar where guests can enjoy delicious Dutch snacks into the evening hours. The massive pewter counter is the finest Zurich craftsmanship and becomes a little more beautiful with every guest who touches it.

The extraordinary café in the former EWZ power plant is the perfect place to network, refuel, cowork, or relax and make new contacts over a specialty coffee or beer prepared by the baristas. This is where you meet collaboration partners and spin off new ideas. The Kraftwerk kitchen cooks fresh and daily changing vegetarian and vegan dishes - all prepared from local and seasonal products. From Monday to Friday, the café seats around 80 guests indoors and over 50 on the sun terrace by the Sihl River. In addition to the café, the building with its imposing shipping container backdrop offers numerous meeting rooms and a large event space for parties, concerts and conferences.
