We ate at the sit down restaurant style Sternen Grill upstairs, it was probably my favorite meal in Switzerland. The staff was so friendly upon our arrival. They even saw us struggling with the menu and pointed out the QR code we could scan for English. Our server Marcel was so helpful! He helped us choose the best options and making sure what we did and didn’t need. And he was right! Everything was so delicious. Then he offered a Grappa with dessert, which we never had before and loved it!! Whenever I have business in Zurich, I try to make a quick stop here. My favorite spot is the outdoor terrace on the second floor overlooking the bustling Bellevueplatz. Seating is limited; it's first come, first served. The service was always attentive and friendly. I can recommend everything on the menu, from the simple Swiss veal sausage and the seasonal salad to the hearty Zurich veal strips with rösti or fresh veal liver. Naturally, the wine list is meticulous and well-chosen. Like everything in Zurich, this comes at a price. Don't be alarmed, just enjoy! See you soon, perhaps? Just to mention, I've had today a Cesars Salad with chicken, some sparkling water and 20cl Pino Grigio weisswein...CHF 50.- plus a 10% tip. The sauce could have come with a bit more "Raffinesse", but was ok. Yes, it is fast food but it is delicious and definitely tastier and fresher than any other average fast food option there. Especially appreciated on Sundays when everything is closed and you can just stop for a quick bite in a very central location. The prices are insanely reasonable considering it’s Zurich and the centre of town and the staff is always friendly and welcoming. 🌭 💖

I had a great experience at Sterner Grill in Zurich. Downstairs they offer a more relaxed takeaway or bar-like setting that’s perfect for a quick bite, while the second floor feels more like a restaurant with an amazing view—cozy, welcoming, and ideal if you want to sit and enjoy. The service was excellent throughout. I especially enjoyed the Swiss white wine by the glass, and the veal sausage with the famous Bürli was simply perfect. The different salads were also outstanding—each one better than the last. The location is very convenient, the pricing is fair for the area, and the overall atmosphere makes it a place I’d happily return to. Authentic flavors, warm service, and a setting that adapts to both quick stops and relaxed comfy meal. Almost forgot! we had a dessert w merengue and yogurt ice cream w red berries sorbet that was to die for!

A true gem in Zurich - it’s got my golden seal of approval! You owe it to yourself to check it out. Don’t be scared off by the long line at the entrance – the service is so fast that in just 5 minutes, you’ll already be ordering. No joke, this might just be some of the best sausages I’ve ever eaten. We tried both the veal and pork options, and they were both an absolute delight. The bread is magical. It’s super crunchy on the outside and might seem a bit hard at first, but the inside is soft and plays a key role in your overall experience at this restaurant. Watch out for the mustard! It seems like it’s a bit of a local legend. We were warned by our guide that it could be quite spicy, and she wasn’t kidding. You might feel your life flash before your eyes when you try it. It’s definitely not for everyone, but you simply can’t leave without giving it a shot. If I ever return to Zurich, this spot will undoubtedly be one of my first stops.
