The story
MURA is the creation of Chef Kenichi Arimura, whose name sits prominently on the restaurant’s homepage. The website offers little else about his background, but the commitment to precise, Japanese contemporary cooking is evident in every detail of the dining experience.
Lunch service runs Tuesday through Friday from 11:30 to 14:30 (last order at 14:00). Dinner is offered Tuesday through Saturday, with two seatings: 18:30 and 19:30. The restaurant is closed on Monday and Sunday.
The space accommodates private parties, and outdoor seating is available when weather permits. Takeaway is also an option for those who wish to enjoy MURA’s cooking at home. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible.
MURA has earned a place in the Michelin Guide, receiving a “Recommended” distinction for 2026. This recognition underscores the quality of the Japanese contemporary cuisine served in this quiet Zurich neighborhood.
The restaurant observes seasonal closures: summer break from 19 July to 11 August 2026, and winter holidays from 21 December 2025 to 12 January 2026. Reservations can be made online or by phone.
