Restaurant The Butcher in Zürich

1. Pros: best burgers in Zurich! great quality, friendly staff 2. Cons: 3. Interesting Fact: it can be cheaper or equal in price to McDonald's with the difference that the quality and the size are much better! 4. Specific Recommendation: hard to say as all burgers are really good!

Good burgers. Nice service. A bit deserted on Sunday afternoon. Price-performance ratio ok.

Interesting and, above all, differentiated range of fries, drinks and burgers. It can get quite loud in the restaurant, but that also speaks for its success. I was initially overcharged by 11 francs per person. The waitress couldn't help me, referred to the absent boss and quickly withdrew from the situation. However, after the review, the support team immediately offered to refund the money. After friendly contact, this happened in less than 5 days.

Very tasty burgers and super clear about allergens. (Gluten-free, vegan etc) The ordering system via QR code is also brilliant

Staff was really nice, i had Long Beach burger (vegetarian) and fries with cheese. Food was delicious. One of the best vegan/vegetarian burgers i had. Definitely recommend.

Having eaten in many burger places around the world and in Zurich, I had high hopes for this restaurant but left very disappointed. When entering, the place had a relaxed, cost vibe with low lighting, wooden features and imagery on the wall talking about different cuts of meat. The beer selection was ok, but I was terribly let down by the burger... Possibly and sadly the worst I've had in Zurich - and at the price, and for a sit down restaurant like this maybe one of the worst I remember anywhere. The meat patty had an odd texture almost like a pre-prepared frozen patty. This weird texture meant myself and my three friends didn't finish the whole burger. Instead I'd recommend Burgermeister (Sihlpost) or Black Tap in Zurich if you want a cool vibe with great burgers for a similar price.

Food is very tasty especially truffle sauce!

I wanted to give one more chance but also this time, the food was delivered almost cold and also incomplete. Fries billed but not delivered!

WORST burger I have ever eaten. Chicken was oily and stinky

Update: The burger is excellent. The meat was not so good for a couple of months, but now it is great again. Thank you for the lovely lunch. :) Great burger, the meat is awesome, the fries are exceptional. Alles Tip Top. :) I higly recommend it.

Very nice restaurant, enjoyed the burgers 🍔 and the salad was great! Have seen plenty of English speaking people and is located great! Recommend

Were there in a group of eight people. Service was good, food was delicious, atmosphere was wonderful. Vegan and vegetarian - everyone was happy. Delicious non-alcoholic drinks

Since I have to decide between 4 and 5 stars, I'll take 4 stars, but it's 4.49. I have nothing to really criticize. The burger was very good, but not outstanding. The fries were very good, but not outstanding. The service and the ambience, however, were outstanding. All in all I really liked it.

Amazing burgers. Loads of veggie options too! Will def come again.

Burgers are great and the way to order via phone fantastic BUT, we order 2 customized burgers and they mixed the orders completely. We all make mistakes and are humans. But all they did was to change the breads rather than make the burgers again… which means that they still were missing ingredients, and we had to request for yet another change. And of course no gesture or any detail to remediate the mistake, neither an apology from any of the staff. Recommendation: stick to the normal burgers

By appearance, the waiter made bad jokes. I didn't like that at all and will never visit this store again.

5.30 for a water?!? That’s an immediate no tip and a one star. Go elsewhere. There’s not even enough service to justify a tip.

Burger and fries lacked seasoning and the burger was a bit cold. I’m sure there is better in Zurich

Service: Attentive; friendly, fast Food: very tasty Location: cozy Price/performance: fits

The best burger I've ever eaten!

Great burgers and easy way to split the bill when visiting in groups

I always eat very well (big plus) But I experienced the service like never before, really rude. I'm not the type who writes poorly, but it doesn't work. Ahgfange was not greeted and followed by the most disrespectful behavior I have ever experienced in the restaurant. If I stopped at work, I would immediately be fired. I think the team knows who they mean. All others are always very accommodating. In the future my name will be yours.

Excellent burger and jalapeno fries. Recommended

Small and friendly butcher in the center of Niederforf.

Burger was good but nothing exceptional. The fries with the truffle sauce and the sweet potato fries were excellent. I really like the service, the lady that took our order was really e nice, professional and helpful. The good thing is that they have lactose free and gluten free buns and vegan options.

Nice decoration. Pleasant atmosphere and very friendly staff. The burger was good but the meat was a little overcooked so the burger was a little dry... Too bad for a small establishment specializing in burgers (with little crowds during my visit) that it didn't take the trouble to ask for the meat to be cooked.

The service was good, but unfortunately the food was disappointing. The small green salad was simply boring in terms of appearance and taste (was there even a sauce on it?). Unfortunately no bread was served with the salad. The fries weren't crispy enough (fresh?). The burgers were a mess with the cooking levels and the taste here was simply weak. Had to add salt to the burger to give it some flavor. You can definitely expect a lot more from a burger shop, especially when it comes to fries and burgers (also considering the prices). What has happened there? Your food used to be really good. A pity...

Fries were burnt and like they had been fried before. What a shame! The taste of the burger isn't really my thing. Not fresh tomatoes, but pickled dried tomatoes. By chance the lady from service was there and then gone. Otherwise no staff anywhere.

Thank you very much for the hospitable service, very accommodating, gladly again!

The best burger in Europe. Also Veggie friendly

Well, there are better restaurants...it was just an attempt.

The Best Burger in Town.. It is not the first time (maybe my 6th time) that I went to this famous place. Simply the best... 1. The service is top notch. That niveau is exceptional. 2. The food is very good. You can choose between different burgers, you can even create your own burger. The food is fresh and warm unlike in other burger restaurants. I will definitly come back when I am in Zurich again. Place to be. I will highly recommend this place to all people who just want to taste some nice food and enjoy the nice ambiente. Liebe Grüsse & ein schönes Wochenende Michael

Easy going burger place. Perfect for a relaxing get together with the friends.

A pretty good burger with the best ordering system! That's how restaurants should work! Customers order with an app and waiters are free to pay attention to customers. Only remark, we got confused between putting into the shopping cart and ordering. ;-)

The burgers are very delicious, and the service is quite fast

The best french fries in town, but the coleslaw was everything else but coleslaw. There were flowers!!!, lettuce, parsley!!! Ingredients that do not belong to it. Regret not taking pictures, but I was very disgusted! Yes, disgusted!

Wanted to pay. Was insulted that payment could only be made by card. This was the first and last time in the NWO shop.

Burgers amazing 😍 but pommes not crunchy enough 😔

The evening at Butscher was very enjoyable, the staff were very attentive. The food we ordered was very delicious and made you feel comfortable.

Perfect service and very good food, as always.

Great food and great service. Definitely coming back.

Tasty and unusual hamburgers made with love. What I don't understand: why only zero cola? That's why one star is minus. Anyway, great!

Very friendly service. Halloumi fries were great, burgers were great too, but the meat was bland. A little salt and it would have been great.

The homemade iced tea experience was of outstanding quality, and the taste of the burger was also exceptional. The service was characterized by politeness and high efficiency. In addition, the choice of soap was a pleasant detail that completed the overall experience. I happily intend to visit your establishment again.

Restaurant specializing in hamburgers, with beef raised in Switzerland. The burgers combine the flavors of their ingredients well. As critical details, the bread was greasy, and the meat should have been less cooked. The establishment mixes classic atmosphere with modern technologies to view the menu and place your order.

Burgers & ice tea were very good. Greetings to Carlos for the nice service. Gladly again !

Service was great but the rest was disappointing. Burger buns very tasteless, burgers overall also unsatisfactory. For 1L of water in the carafe (unbranded) 11 CHF was charged!?! I can't recommend it

A place with atmosphere and delicious burgers :)

Awesome burgers. My vegetarian colleagues also enjoyed their burgers!

The staff was really very attentive and accommodating! The burger tasted good, but I've had better ones.

The burgers could have had a bit more oomph...but otherwise good. Service was very friendly and humorous..

Maybe we had a bad day... First the positive: the waiters always corrected the mistakes immediately and in a friendly manner. The negative: - first the wrong beer was brought - then the wrong fries were brought - the burgers themselves were quite boring in terms of taste - When ordering with a QR code, I would like a window to select the degree of cooking. I like my burger well-done and this one came very raw...

Amazing food Burger is so good 😋 I created my own Also the fries is so crunchy and yummy 🤤 The tortilla chips was fun to watch mixing the avocado in front of me and delicious

Menu only via QR code and then very confusing. The background music in the restaurant was far too loud and disturbing. The high chairs are very uncomfortable and wobble. Only Cola Zero and then for just under 6.- for 3dl. The hamburgers and fries were quite okay. The service was friendly.

Nice service, very tasty burgers and even gluten-free. Thank you and always happy

Pleasant restaurant with average but good burgers. The staff is extremely friendly and the atmosphere was very cozy, but seemed slightly confusing.

Fantastic burgers, the fruit drinks are amazing definitely a must

Great ambience, burgers unspectacular, fries very tasty

Such friendly staff! I don’t remember when I was welcomed so nicely in Zurich ever. So available, polite and friendly and fast. Food also delicious. Thanks so much!

Very good service and good value for money. They serve in several languages ​​including German, English and Spanish.

The service was awesome and the food delicious

Very rustic atmosphere, and it resembles an old wine cellar. The food was great as always! Unlike “The Butcher” in Zug, for example, there is a different menu here, for example no sweet potato fries. However, in my opinion this is positive because it is not so monotonous. The service was friendly, but a little stressed, and we had to quickly pick out our food. The price is relatively high, but you're really happy to pay that for these burgers. Gladly again!

Not awful, good....but not above that. And expensive as is all of zurich. We went there as Americans with no connection and their app didn't treat us too kindly when we tried to connect just to look at the menu. Yet they still forced us to use their tablet. Like .....really.... just take my order. It's pretty simple.....Two burgers, two fries, two beers. That was a bit annoying. The burgers weren't awful but they weren't exceptional. In-N-Out burgers are way better and way less expensive. Doesn't seem like these burgers are made on demand. Came out slightly cold. Like they were pre made and nuked. Fries were definitely not made on demand. If you run a burger and fries joint....trust me....make everything fresh , right out of fryer and off the grill.....do I really need to say this?

Bacon cheeseburger was great! 10/10

Burger 🍔 a bit too cold, otherwise very tasty.

Great burger place, plenty of options. Very friendly staff.

Very good service, positive and friendly staff and last but not least very tasty burgers!

The burger was good, meat medium, quality of meat was good. The service was nice and polite. For 19CHF you can expect a decent burger, not a children's portion. Having to pay extra for fries is completely unacceptable in a burger joint. Unfortunately the price performance is not right.

Excellent atmosphere, excellent service and very good food

Great team, very friendly and organized. Lulu and Silvan are great!

Good burgers and I loved the oriental halloumi fries! Friendly service and a great spot for a casual drink.

Great burgers, waited somewhat long to order and until the drinks were delivered. Outdoor seating available.

It's definitely a delicious burger and fries!! I got the butcher, and it was perfect!

Tastiest burger in Zurich! especially the vegetarian ones.

I really enjoyed the food, but it was a bit difficult to order. There is no traditional waiter in this restaurant, but you can find the menu using a QR code. Then you can view the menu on your cell phone and order and pay directly. It's actually not a bad idea, but if you're on vacation with your parents and one parent has a flip cell phone and the other has a cell phone without internet in Switzerland, it becomes difficult to order things. It would be nice if the restaurant had a proper menu for these cases that you could use to order from the waiter. The selection of food is not large, but you can create your own burger at no extra charge, which I think is very good. However, options for drinks were rather weak. The only soft drink available here was Cola Zero, nothing else. The store is also a little more expensive. Still, the food was good.

Great burgers with wonderful fries! Service was great too!

The atmosphere was dead during our lunch time visit, complete silence and no music. Burgers were poor quality meat full of gristle, and drinks menu was limited, but they offer gluten free buns

excellent service, big portions, reasonable prices, kid friendly environment and service, the staff was super friendly and helpful. Highly recommend

Looking for a cold beer, a great burger, chili cheese fries and great service? Stop at The Butcher. I'll be back.

After waiting 35 minutes for a burger the waiter said if I don't like it I can leave, pathetic

Very nice setting but I disliked the cheese burger. Meat didn't look "home pressed" and looked supermarket-grade. Bun was a bit dry. Cheese wasn't melted. It was pretty mediocre - left the bun & cheese and just finished the patties. Fries were okay, a bit too cooked for my taste. Waitress was very nice though. Won't come back.

Sorry but the place was filthy, the food was lukewarm, bland and left me feeling sick afterwards. Halloumi fries felt recooked and reheated. The pulled pork burger smelt weird and was disgusting. It's the first time in my long long life that I did not finish a burger. Sorry but really this was the most disappointing dinner for 2. No amount of aperol Spitz could hide.

The burgers were really tasty and the fries were great. We came late afternoon and service was prompt, but can't comment on speed during busy times or what the atmosphere would be like.

Horrible manager, still high on street parade. He should be fired. He offered two cokes to send us away after we told him the order was wrong. He shouted for us to leave. I should go to therapy.

Nice staff, delicious food, centrally located and quite fair for Zurich prices. We liked being there.

Burgers were very tasty, little choice in terms of cold drinks. Also not much choice in terms of desserts. Furthermore, good service and a nice look.

Good burgers. Was there for a party. food came quickly and was good

Great burgers with delicious frites in calm place.

The burger is just delicious and the goat cheese tastes excellent Excellent service, excellent price, excellent taste Alert them about the Crispy Pig

The spicy burger was very good. The bun was perfect and the meat was not bad. It comes with tomato, pickle (very tasty and different from what I'm used to) and lettuce. It also has a very nice sauce. The beer tasted amazing to me. We had the Max potatoes, which are about three servings. Very nice waitress. The price like the rest of the city.

Really nice burgers, excellently cooked with just a little pink in the middle. Nice cosy atmosphere, and the staff were attentive. Very reasonable prices for the location.

The place very cool but the hamburgers not really good. I ordered the chicken burger with ham and it came with very weird texture. The fries is tasty.

Burgers are quite small but solid for sure. Definitely very expensive but you get quality meat.

Nice food for a good price! And they do something about Co2!

cozy location, fascinating main building in Niederdörfli.

Perfect food for a celiac since they have gluten-free bread and all the burgers are suitable for a celiac. The waiter was very friendly and best of all he spoke Spanish.

Burger was good (a bit spicy), fries actually too, but completely over salted - a shame. I found the drinks to be rather expensive...

Our group of 5 stumbled upon this place. The burgers and fries were tasty and filling. Great burger spot.

Food was good, not spectacular, especially for the price. Don’t order a water because it’s tap water for 5 francs - absolutely ridiculous. (Edit to respond: The waitress did not indicate a self service water station to us and charged 5 francs for a single glass of tap water.)

Very bad taste, I ordered a vegan one and taste like nothing. Fries are very insipid and with left overs. My husband asked for a meat hamburger and left it at the end. He wanted to vomit, flavor was very disgusting. Not recommended.
