The story
Perched high above the city on Germaniastrasse, Rigiblick Comfort Fine Dining offers a welcome contrast to Zürich’s urban pace. Since January 2025, hosts Nicolas Schumnik and Ronny Zipfel have been running this restaurant with a simple promise: regional, seasonal cuisine served in a setting that feels both rustic and refined.
The kitchen’s approach is rooted in modern cuisine that draws on local ingredients. The menu balances what the team calls “Wirtshaus Klassiker” – hearty, familiar dishes – with the more surprising creations of their Genussmenü. It’s a duality that defines the place: comfort and ambition on the same plate, in an atmosphere that stays uncomplicated.
The space itself is charmingly rustic, with warm wooden tones and a relaxed energy. Large windows frame sweeping views over Zürich, and the terrace becomes a sought-after spot when the weather cooperates. The restaurant can seat up to 80 guests, while the upstairs L’Etage room offers more privacy for groups up to 115. For larger celebrations, the entire venue can be reserved exclusively – a rare luxury in a city setting.
Rigiblick’s recognition by the Michelin guide as a Recommended restaurant speaks to the consistency of its kitchen and the clarity of its vision. This is not a place chasing trends. It is a restaurant that knows what it does well: seasonal, modern cuisine with a strong sense of place.
Beyond the dining room, the team also caters private events, from weddings and Christmas parties to corporate dinners. They work closely with guests to tailor menus, and the location’s flexibility – indoor and outdoor spaces, full-house buyouts – makes it a versatile choice for celebrations large and small.
Whether you come for a weekday lunch, a Sunday dinner, or a special event, Rigiblick delivers a genuinely warm welcome and food that respects the seasons. It’s a restaurant that feels both ambitious and approachable – exactly as comfort fine dining should be.
