Delicately melting cheese, crisp salad, the meat fried to perfection, all sandwiched between two fresh rolls. The burger. The mere thought of it makes your mouth water. That’s why we show you the best burger restaurants in Zurich here.
It has to be big, juicy and fresh so that we can enjoy eating it. The burger is currently experiencing a major revival. For a long time, the numerous fast-food chains cast it in a bad light and labeled it as unhealthy, but now it is back and more trendy than ever before. Burger restaurants are booming, the choice in Zurich is getting bigger and bigger and the burgers are getting better and better and more and more unusual. We’re ditching all diet plans and introducing you to the best burger restaurants in Zurich that are definitely worth a visit.
The Bite
The burgers at The Bite are great. The meat is cooked to perfection, the portions are large enough to satisfy even the biggest appetite and the homemade sauces are a great change from the ready-made ketchup from the bottle. Enjoy your burger in a casual atmosphere between cool guests. Please note, reservations are essential!

Vior
Only Black Angus beef from Swiss production is used for the burgers at Vior, which is why the prices are somewhat higher. But the burgers are definitely worth it. The bread is specially made by the Kleiner bakery, the ingredients are fresh and crunchy, the selection is huge, and if you like extras on your burger, Vior is the place for you.

R-Soulfood
Goose liver, lobster, truffles. Not exactly what you would expect in a burger. But at R-Soulfood, one of the newest burger restaurants in Zurich, that’s exactly what you get. The Nobel burgers are prepared from the most exclusive ingredients. However, the prices are just as hefty as the burgers: you can spend up to 93 francs for a burger here. But if you want to try a unique burger that you won’t get anywhere else, R-Soulfood is the place to go.

Heidi and Tell
Eco burgers, natural, local and – as far as you can call a burger healthy – healthy. The bread rolls are baked by the baker around the corner and the cheese comes straight from the Swiss mountains. It goes without saying that all burgers are free from preservatives and flavor enhancers. The burger tastes twice as good in the chalet-style ambience of Heidi and Tell.
