Brasserie Lipp, Uraniastrasse 9, 8001 Zürich

We were on a self-guided walking tour tasting chocolate from all the lovely shops in Zürich. We were ravenous for real food and stopped in here on a whim. The staff was welcoming and professional. I have to eat strictly gluten-free and they were able to accommodate easily. I even had special hot French rolls! I tried the avocado and shrimp salad, which was delicious and paired it with a plate of mussels, which were equally good. My husband had the French onion soup and was madly in love! He said it was up there with the best he'd ever had. He also got the sole with mixed vegetables. He liked the veggies and said the sole was amazing, cooked perfectly! Our waiter expertly removed every bone tableside. When we walked in, we planned on having dessert, by the time we finished our courses, there was just no room. Very expensive. $155 before adding tip.

What a lovely surprise! On a rainy afternoon, we stumbled upon Brasserie Lipp by chance, just before attending a play at the Hechtplatz Theater — and it turned out to be a true gem. The atmosphere is reminiscent of a classic Parisian brasserie, with a refined touch and a panoramic terrace offering shelter and charm. Service was impeccable , and every dish was a delight: crispy Viennese schnitzel, fresh sole, and exquisite homemade desserts. Paired with a fine glass of wine, it made for an elegant and memorable experience right in the heart of Zurich. Highly recommended!

Authentic French flair with exceptional service We had a fantastic lunch at Brasserie Lipp Zürich, where classic French cuisine and warm hospitality come together perfectly. We enjoyed a delicious spread – lobster, escargots, French onion soup, and fresh oysters – all beautifully prepared and full of flavor. Each dish felt like a little trip to Paris. A special mention goes to our Hungarian waiter, who was incredibly professional, friendly, and made our experience even more enjoyable. He anticipated everything with charm and ease – truly outstanding service. Highly recommended for anyone craving authentic French flavors in a lively, elegant setting.
