With the weather getting colder in Zurich, I’ve been constantly craving warm comfort food, especially ramen. I wanted to share a short list of some great spots that are perfect for this time of year.
Feel free to let me know which place I should try next, I’m always happy to exchange ideas!
Yume Ramen
This is a fantastic spot for a delicious bowl of ramen in town. They have locations at Europaallee, Limmatplatz, and recently opened one in Bellevue. Their karaage (Japanese fried chicken) is excellent, and the Bellevue branch has some great desserts, like the famous jiggly panna cotta cat. It’s a reliable choice for both lunch and dinner.
Machida Shoten
This is a new, trendy ramen spot located near Albisriederplatz. They have a nice design and serve yummy ramen. A key feature is that their kitchen is open continuously from lunch through the afternoon, making it one of the few spots in Zurich for a proper meal after 15:00. While you’re there, don’t miss the matcha affogato.
Tsuru Tsuru
This place is a true gem. It’s a super adorable noodle bar in the city center, located about two minutes from Bahnhofstrasse. They serve authentic Udon noodles imported directly from Japan, making it perfect if you’re looking for a chill, authentic experience.
Hoi Koi
This is a lovely restaurant with dishes designed for sharing, making it a great option for an apéro with a friend or a date. It’s located in Lochergut. They offer different sushi platters, including their popular Ichiban which features spicy tuna, salmon Aburi mango, and nigiri. The interior is stylish and aesthetically pleasing.
Hongxi Chinese Tapas
Another great location for tapas is Hongxi in Kreis 4. This spot is excellent if you’re a big fan of dumplings. They have a wide selection, including the beloved soup dumplings. I also really love their Char Siu Bao. For dessert, their coconut sticky rice with mango is delicious and often served in adorable shapes.
If you have in mind other locations that should make it to the list, don’t hesitate to let me know 🙂
