Brasserie Lipp in Zürich

Every time I'm in Zurich I go to eat at Lipp. I love the atmosphere, the cuisine is delicious and refined. The staff is available and very pleasant. Seasonal cuisine which is a plus

Not for the first time we were able to enjoy the hospitality, the unique ambience and the fine food of the Brasserie Lipp. We always like to come back!

We ate at Lipp yesterday, the service was super friendly and competent, the starters were excellent, the second course was also very good. For the main course we ordered the grilled half lobster with herb butter and lemon. Unfortunately it was very disappointing for me. There was anise in the herb butter, which wasn't mentioned anywhere and drowned everything out so much that I was unfortunately only able to eat a small piece; my friend ate the rest of the lobster. What I also have to say, of course it's a matter of taste, my friend liked the lobster with aniseed. If there's something like anise in an herb butter sauce, which is usually very unusual, it's important to mention it. Unfortunately, I would never order the lobster again. Everything else was great but of course I would still like to come back to you. Thanks

We loved our visit, it's like a Parisienne Brasserie but with a Swiss twist... Champagne on arrival delivered cold and fresh, fantastic oysters and caviar followed by a tuna tartare and a lobster from the grill. Great ambiance in the restaurant and fantastic service from Carmen who is always a pleasure to speak to and makes excellent recommendations. We will always come again.

I highly recommend!!!!! Wonderful!!

Food and service top The moules-frites (pot de moules), their most popular dish, are of course a must for the first time.

Nice brasserie with a large selection of seafood.

Delicious meal, I recommend both the meat and the fish. The quantities and presentation of the dishes are perfect. The setting is very beautiful but the tables are a little too close so there is no privacy. Bad rating on the other hand on the gourmet coffee because 3 pieces (dry and tasteless macaron and small muffin without any taste) only the mini lemon tart is good. We were disappointed to end our good meal with this very negative touch ☹️

Quality and tradition A beautiful, atmospheric brasserie with very tasty food, a great selection of wines and experienced service staff. Top!

Very good food and good service, thank you very much and always happy :-)

Always my pleasure. One of our classics.

This is my first time ever writing a review for a restaurant among countless restaurants I have dinned in. Four of us came to this restaurant on the first night we got into Zurich. The service and atmosphere were 100% on par. Now the food, we ordered oysters, foie gras, French onion soup, escargot, a pot of moules, a pasta, and bottles of wine. We really enjoyed the food at the time until I got back to the hotel, where everything went down hill, MAJOR FOOD POISON. Full on experience with vomiting and diarrhea where I never experienced in my life time. Good job Brasserie Lipp, I will never forget you or the experience.

The food was good, the service was good, the price-performance ratio was rather too expensive for what they offer.

The service was great, the food it was really good!

It comes at a price, but it's worth it. Especially the bar on the top floor.

I was shocked. I love mussels. France, Belgium, UK, Italy, Switzerland - I always order mussels. By far, tonight I had the worse pot of Moules ever. Forget about the price, that’s my problem if I’m prepared to pay that tag. And the chips. Speechless!! Don’t bother responding. You have no defense. The proof is in the pudding!!

Good choice for French food in Zurich. Unfortunately the seating was much too close

It is 5 times bigger than Geneva Lipp. Professional service, delicious food, nicely dressed public, excellent atmosphere. However for the general information it has nothing to do with Geneva Lipp. They are not in franchising. But it is as good as Geneva Lipp. Highly recommended!

Disastrous service - Extremely unfriendly and arrogant, food nothing special but the prices exorbitant...

Food hardly flavored, which might be to some people's liking, but is definitely not to my taste.

This place is one of the rare ones where you can expect value for money

Second time at Lipp. So as not to leave a bad impression and give a second chance. We wonder how the placement is done, the “beautiful” ones at the front, the “ugly” ones at the bottom. The dishes were lukewarm, with a frozen sauce due to the food warmer. You have a choice: you close your mouth and concentrate on the moment or you throw the dish away and ruin the moment. I chose not to say anything. I asked for bread which never arrived and pepper which arrived at the end of the dish. I never understand these establishments where we judge the customer based on their appearance or their leather goods, which is a shame because in the end we all pay with the same money. The toilets were almost like those of a club: empty rolls everywhere, no hand towels. Too bad, too bad....

Fabulous dinner. The previous time we hadn't had as good a time as usual, so last Friday we were in doubt until the last moment whether to return to this restaurant. And we're happy we did! The service was impeccable and it is very pleasant when the waiters remember the patrons. We ate divinely, the quality is always excellent. Consistent quality/price ratio. Well done!

Extremely impolite stuff. Never felt so unwanted.

I had a pumpkin soup for a starter a the small portion of mussels as a main. My friend the escargot and the entrecote. Both really delicious and price-wise still fair. The service was also very good and the atmosphere was French-like. So all very good and thus 5*.

We enjoyed the lively ambience in the restaurant, although it was a bit noisy. The food was okay and we were still able to enjoy it in peace. For lovers of French cuisine, this restaurant is worth a visit.

We were guests at Lipp again and again for 20 years. Apparently they don't want us anymore. Then it's great if Candrian can afford it! We have two children who do not yet consume wine. We don't look rich (tip to the manager at the entrance: understatement is a question of style) and live in district 4 (can you see that?). At least we have manners and always got along well with the great serving staff, some of whom have been there as long as we have been guests! Unfortunately, for the last 2/3 years they've always wanted to push us to the back of the restaurant - and we don't feel like that. Whether we make a reservation two weeks in advance or spontaneously walk into a poorly filled restaurant at 6 p.m., the bald gentleman at the entrance always finds, after a long search on his display, the worst seat at the very back of the restaurant. Is this part of the Candrian strategy? Let's hide families with children, if not from Züriberg or visibly rich tourists. We don't really care... after 20 years with around CHF 1000 in sales per year with us, it's over now. We will miss the nice waitress and the nice waiters, but not the feeling at the entrance that we are basically unwanted.

A typical French brasserie in the heart of Zurich. Authentic French food and excellent service. We will be back! Merci beaucoup

Mr. Burkart was extremely attentive and friendly. The food was excellent and there wasn't a long wait. Any time. Thank you

Solid French brasserie fare. Great service and nice atmosphere.

Very nice food and friendly staff.

"Le petite Plateau Découverte" (seafood platter) is very plentiful and highly recommended, the "Bisque de Homarde" is an excellent starter, service is very courteous and friendly. Vivre comme un Coq en Pâte.

We had the Imperial Menu and it was, as always, a culinary delight. Only the other guests left something to be desired when it came to table manners and clothing

Very nice restaurant. Service quick and friendly and efficient. Food very tasty. We will be back. Ah very good wine. But not cheap. Quality you have to pay for it. See you soon and bravo. Keep it up.

This is another restaurant that is recommended when coming to Zurich. It's an old restaurant, good atmosphere, excellent service, delicious food. I ordered mussels. They taste very good, clean. Fish soup is another thing that shouldn't be missed. Recommended. There is a parking building not far from the restaurant.

Oysters and wine good. Service was catastrophic, no greeting, no napkins served, no butter knife, we had to dip the bread in the butter. Or 5 minizten wait until the service came again. Of course we communicated our dissatisfaction directly to the service, they took note and moved on... no apology... nothing. Price performance lowest level. Luckily there are enough places in Zurich with oysters 😀

Delicious food. The venison and entrecôte café de Paris were excellent ! Certainly our fantastic and friendly waitress N. Camen makes the experience special ! 😃

Still water is Fr. 15.00, what? Sancerre was overpriced for delivered quality.

Went to panorama bar was super cool

A beautiful restaurant. Loved the food

The food and service is good. Will come back again.

It's stressful watching the chef de service, but the waiters make up for it!! Especially a service person. Her name is Camen Natascha and she makes the culinary evening the experience it should be! She is very good in every professional and human area! She is intelligent, funny and patient! Go to Lipp, visit Camen Natascha!!!

Brasserie Lipp should have a very deserved general 4.8 to a 4.9 in my opinion. The reason it has 4.2 is probably because Zürich is full of too many pretentious people claiming to be Gourmet-specialists, taking a star away as soon as they didn't get their way. The food is excellent, the service is excellent and it's in the middle of a beautiful city. I enjoy it every time I come here, which isn't nearly as often as I'd like to. Thanks to the kitchen staff and R. Haas, my friendly and helpful waiter this evening. PS. Have you tried the apple pie? I'm not sure but the way it tastes like home, I'm inclined to believe they're keeping my grandmother captive in the kitchen.

A very nice place. The letter is really good. Meat and mussels are truly delicious dishes. Lemon meringue pie is my favorite.

Our waiter, Ms. Natascha Camen, was a very courteous waitress. I would love to come back alone because of Ms. Camen.

Natascha served us great, very accommodating and friendly, a reason to come back!

On Saturday evenings there isn't even cold food anymore...This was one of my favorite restaurants. It is very expensive but has good quality. Service staff friendly but not cooperative... I spent many hundreds of francs here... but that was the last... it's a shame, I always liked being here, now no more... I lost a well-paying guest...

The Food is extraordinary, i still don't understand how simple veggies can taste so good! Cafe de paris was amazing, oysters are their specialty. Service is very nice

Excellent service Superb espresso

We went there on 18 July this year. Food was good but could do better with seasoning and how food has been present just basic compared to prices just an average. On the time we went there. Services just looked a little bit chaos. Some customers did have to wait for food to come as only 2 waiter who looked after our section. We did ask for some ketchup and other customers too. Some got it and for some have to waited almost finished the plate and the came. Because Staff each time customers asked. Had to go get in the kitchen. As it's rush our dinner. With 2 staff, who looked after over 60 guests. At the end to paid so much for one dinner. Has been to this restaurant for the past 10 years. Food and services not was used to be.

Wonderful fresh seafood French bistro style

Nice atmosphere outside and decent food (nothing wow tbh), but the service was RUDE. Throwing plates on the table, forgetting things and very rushed approach.

The products are beautiful. We ate Swiss style profiteroles. A different experience. The staff is troublesome and not polite.

Best French Brasserie in Zurich. Highly reccomend the bone marrow and champaigne. Great start of the day.

Unfortunately I have to leave a one star comment here. I ordered a fish soup, the taste was really inedible, a very intense, strange taste like plastic. I didn't eat the soup and reported it to the waiter, who refused to take the soup off the bill. I've eaten fish soup many times but this broth had little to do with a great soup.

We had a great dinner at Lipp tonigh. It was a suprisingly quiet Sunday evening at Lipp. The service from Carmen was extrodinary! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ She is probably one of the fastest, and sweetest waiters I’ve ever had. Food was great from startert to dessert. Top 3: Onion soop, moules fritte and oysters. Good, but not on our top list: Foie gras, and langostino. I have a feeling that Lipp deserves a better reputation.

Super service and food, the lobster soup was something amazing

Brasserie Lipp is absolutely not recommended. First you are told off by a little gay Austrian that you should wait because the bar is full. While waiting, you could hear him reassuring other waiting guests who came after us that they would be passed by us. When I asked what that was about, I only got ridiculous excuses, and his work colleague had to get involved. Brasserie Lipp is more of a brasserie joke...it's a shame that there are such incompetent service staff in Zurich!!!

A classic restaurant in Zurich. We have been coming for more than 20 years. The downside are the opening hours, only till ten (they used to be until midnight).

Wonderful sea food, very friendly and efficient staff. Very expensive but so worth it for special occasions.

We have been going to LIPP in Paris for many years, just as people have been going to Café de Flore or Deux Magots for years. And certainly not always because of the good quality or the friendly service. You just go there! And we are always extremely suspicious when big French names appear as franchises somewhere in the world. Most of the time it doesn't go well. 🙈 We were all the more surprised by the LIPP in Zurich! Extremely friendly, competent and fast service. Very decent quality and preparation of the food (oysters, ceviche, sole, cheese). The Garçon knows what he is selling and can give advice, takes care of the wardrobe, even uses a table brush (!!!), and reports before he goes on break/hands over the service to a colleague. 👍🙏🏻 We sat and ate very well, the clientele is very pleasantly mixed. Toilets super clean and there are Molton Brown toiletries (!!!) and terry towels. 😍 To be honest: The LIPP in Zurich is way better than the original in St. Germain. 😬

Not a lots of choice and too expensive for the offer.

So Migros Restaurant is better. Sorry.

Went out for dinner on Maundy Thursday evening with family and children (total -8 people). Starters and main courses were all ordered together, two main courses came after everyone had finished eating. A total of -3 bottles of wine consumed and a final bill of almost Sfr 1000.- The waiter (who caused the debacle with the main courses) even had the nerve to snap at my 85 year old father when the missing main course was pointed out to him! No gesture or compensation with an offered coffee or dessert! We will think twice about going to Lipp again...

Menu is a bit old. A revision of the dishes on offer would certainly be an advantage.

Very good food. Clean. Friendly service. Enjoyed this location.

This is a stylish shop with a slightly pretentious atmosphere, giving you a European inner-circle feel. That's not to say it's expensive, and you can enjoy delicious wine with fish, meat, Wiener schnitzel, etc. You can eat inside the store, or on sunny days, it's nice to eat outside. The customer base is also good. The location is convenient, just a short walk from the station, and of course you can also take the tram. When you take the elevator to the observation deck, there is a bar with a nice view. Enjoy your after-meal drink there.

Very tasty food. Very friendly staff. Nice place

LOVED this place! Pepper meat was amazing! And the tartars are also very tasty…great service and the bar on the second floor is totally worth it..very good local gins

Very Classic French cuisine. Typical French Brasserie style. it's a place to go when you love French food. Thank you

amazing service, food and atmosphere

Cozy rooms in French style, and like many French brasseries, the tables are very (too) close to each other. Experienced and patient staff Good food but not special, for the price you can expect something better

Very rude service level. Food was good but the whole experience was very poorly because of the arrogant waiter

Moderately sophisticated environment, not recommended with children. Excellent food, impeccable and very quick service. Medium-low prices compared to places of the same level in Zurich

The Lipp Brewery in Zurich needs no introduction. If you want a Brasserie dish, you will be at the right place at Lipp. The menu offers all the dishes from this French Brasserie. We decided on a starter of fish soup and a main course of sauerkraut. The fish soup is homemade. The taste is not too strong and the accompanying rust is of excellent quality. Sauerkraut is served on the table on chafing dishes. You will find pistachio sausage, bacon and Vienna sausage. The portions are substantial and the quality of the products is excellent. For dessert, a small millefeuille finishes the meal. The service is very attentive and professional. The only small negative point is the price of the wine. For brasserie dishes the wine list should offer more wines between Fr. 50.00 and Fr. 70.00. We took a bottle of a Château Gensac Terre à Terre white (Gers) at the price of Fr. 69.00 per bottle. The wine was excellent and is less known to the public than the big French names. In our time there are enough winegrowers producing completely acceptable wines for a non-exhaustive purchase price. We recommend this brasserie for its atmosphere, the quality of the products, the very good cooking and attentive service. Hoping that the management of Lipp will hear us about the wine, we will come back to taste a good brasserie dish again.

Very tasty and the service was great. The duck terrine wasn't really our thing, but the kitchen can't help it :) otherwise it was very tasty! Pricewise a bit in the higher category.

Classic brasserie. Fish is excellent and the matching wines. Interior can be a bit noisy when fully occupied

Best family friendly brasserie in Zürich city center ❤️👌🏻

Paris in Zurich ♥️ incredibly charming, nice waitress, wonderful food. I'm already looking forward to the next visit

Everything from A to Z was top. An absolute must when you are in Zurich. Always very happy.

Very nice french vibe... excellent oysters, but short menu (we were a mid size group, so we have been given a menu with a very short list of options, which probably is not the same for regular guests).

An institution in Zurich. There's not much to say. Just try.

The food great dessert also a pity to give a place to sit at the door a lot, I was cold in my shorts before he put it in that place I asked why it is another one, you were organized the place said no, he is not very

Our “favorite Frenchman” in Zurich. Fantastic seafood, very solid wines, professional service. Atmosphere just like in Paris 🥰

Classic and good, but don't expect gastronomic innovation

Excellent french bistro in heart of Zurich. Fantastic food and service.

Atmosphere, furnishings and menu are consistent and correspond to the reputation. The prices too. My dish (Wienerschnitzel) certainly doesn't correspond to the core competencies. There was still a certain disappointment. The schnitzel was ok but small. The French fries were bland, lukewarm and (intentionally?) soft. The service was disappointing; despite there being fewer guests, drinks were forgotten and information was not passed on to the attached bar. For the price you can expect more. Overrated for me.

Everything is very fine. Very good selection of food. The service was very attentive

Exceptional and therefore expensive french restaurant, oysters and hummer are a few of their specials. Quick service, much faster than I expected. Kind and attentive staff as expected for such a place. Good wine selection.

Delicious! Very pleasant atmosphere, enough space and very friendly service! The food is highly recommended! Large selection of many “French” specialties. There is also a very tasty menu for children, with a large selection. A little tip: If you visit spontaneously, you have to expect a cancellation. Mostly fully booked; Therefore “Reserve”.

We have arrived an hour early of our reservation and asked if there was a table. The restaurant was half empty. The maître d gave us a frosty up and down and told us to go upstairs to the bar, he would call the bar if a table because.e available. After 40 minutes of 2 pricey cocktails and nibbles we came back down. The restaurant was still half empty. He looked annoyed and told us there were no tables available. We pointed to the numerous empty tables. He asked us to follow him and took us to the very back of the restaurant that had no ambiance whatsoever. An offered a lonely table in the furthest corner. I asked if we could take any other table he told us those were reserved. Following such a rude behaviour we felt belittled so much so that we left. After a treatment like this I would not give money to this restaurant

Atmosphere is good only when you sit in the front section, don't let them put you out back! The food is very good. French onion soup is traditional, and the muscles are perfectly cooked.

Great seafood restaurant in the heart of Zurich. Try the mussels and escargot. Very well appointed restaurant.

This time the foie gras wasn't particularly good, it was a bit sour and the mussels were a bit tough... I'm usually always thrilled... but this time it was just so bad

Really Delicious food l, the best Brasserie style dinner I’ve had outside Paris, great service too.

Oysters were mediocre and Wiener Schnitzel was very dry....All in all too expensive for what it offers

Nice brasserie setup, very average cooking, miles away from the level of the french flagship

Great selection and quality but quite hectic operations Extremely long waiting times today

Great service. French cuisine (lots of seafood). You should definitely like this or want to try it!

As soon as you enter the brasserie you feel welcome, the staff are very friendly. I like the food, everything was very well prepared.
