The story
Rigiblick Zurich anchors its menu in regional Swiss cuisine and Wirtshaus classics within a charming-rustic environment. Hosts Nicolas Schumnik and kitchen chief Ronny Zipfel have welcomed guests since January 2025, guiding the culinary direction following the departure of Vreni Giger. The duo balances established tavern traditions with surprising creations found in their tasting menu options while reinforcing the house's dedication to regional Swiss cuisine.
The kitchen emphasizes regional Swiss cuisine through seasonal produce. Grilled kohlrabi stands out alongside marinated Eierschwämli mushrooms and pickled radish. Guests encounter preparations such as sea bream accompanied by artichokes and a dessert of Bucheln made according to a grandmother's recipe served alongside an apricot sorbet. These choices anchor the dining experience in local flavors.
Located at Germaniastrasse 99, the venue provides panoramic outlooks over Zürich from its terraces and upper levels. The space accommodates intimate dining in the main restaurant as well as larger gatherings in L'Etage or across the combined outdoor areas. Accessible via the Rigiblick cable car or tram, the location combines nature with easy connectivity to the city center. This setting reinforces the accessibility of the regional Swiss cuisine offered here.
