Ziegel oh Lac in Zürich

Ordered a veggie burger and got the worst stomach cramps 2 hours later

I just discovered this place yesterday as it was too cold for the kids to play at the playground so we went inside and to our surprise there were kids toys and games. We just ordered some hot chocolate, tea, and a macchiato. The service was very friendly, there is a minimum charge of 10chf to use a card otherwise you need to use cash. Nice open place with many tables and a bar with a large selection of drinks. Did not try any food but there are some food options as well. Definitely will be back.

Alternatively, good food, good service (in the evening), cool music.

Spaghetti Bolo and then rhubarb spritzer (from Hamburg 😉) and you are actually a bit distracted by the view of the lake with the Alps behind it.

I wouldn't go anymore. The food was really delicious and the portions were really big. Were there last Friday with a wine group and the service was very, very unfriendly. It was very loud in this restaurant and you couldn't really understand the service staff, although when you asked questions they rolled their eyes and put the food on the table in annoyance. The starter and main course came at the same time. In addition, some of us had to reorder again 30 minutes after placing our order because these items were suddenly no longer available in the kitchen. I would have expected a little more organization here. In addition, it is no longer fashionable in Zurich to have only one vegetarian dish and the rest to be served with fish or meat. I don't want to imagine what it would be like if you had intolerances.

If you like it cozy, in a nice place. Then a must, right on the lake.

The Ziegel oh Lac is always worth a visit. Good, simple cuisine. The vegetarian menu in particular is always worth recommending. However, there are quite a few dead animals on the map for 2023. The ratio should be reversed: one meat menu and the rest vegetarian or vegan. At the moment there is only one vegetarian and one vegan menu on the menu. Cheap for Zurich! Right on the lake, you can also sit outside in summer.

Warning to all parents: This is a completely child-unfriendly place that you should avoid. We had a lunch date with a group of friends, including some children. We were the ONLY ones in the interior, but the grim waiter behind the counter still had to make a comment about the children's noise; it would be enough for now. They got louder exactly twice because they were chasing a bird. However, he didn't dare to come out from behind the counter and tell the parents directly, but simply complained to himself. After we confronted him directly, it became clear that they actually wanted us out. We demanded all the money back, which he agreed to - the only fair gesture that day. Another waitress came back to the table with the money "...who can I give the money to now so you can leave..." - just unbelievable how you treat your customers! For a long time I enjoyed coming here for brunch every Sunday and now something like this. Shame on you! And it's best to put away the children's toys that are lying there if you hate children so much!

A special place, very informal, chilled - just 'being', enjoying the lake among nice people with very fine food with very well organized gastronomy - pure holiday feeling 🏝🌞

After a nice walk enjoy a wine or drink at this place. Haven't had any food in a long time. Nice view to the lake

Disorganized for ordering, other clients cutting in line, after 10 mins I get to the front and the employee turns around and walks off. Another lousy Zurich restaurant experience but stands here just seem depressingly low.

Full of kids and lots and lots of kids. Next to the restaurant with tables there is also a playground outside. Very easy going. Simple but stylish place. On the lake in the literal sense! You have to wait in line. You order and pay at the cash register, you communicate the number of the chosen table and the orders are quite quick. It was full on Sunday. Excellent dog hotels.

Very good beer and nice view of the lake

It's a shame that you can only pay cashless from 10 euros, which is not up to date. It's a shame that you can't get anything to eat at 6 p.m., not even a sandwich. Otherwise great location right on the lake, peaceful atmosphere, always worth a visit.

Amazing gastronomy directly at the Zürich lake within the Rote Fabrik facility/venue. Great food with a new menu on a daily basis. Good beer and drink selection. In the summer you can sit outside with a beautiful view of the lake. The premises is pulsating with creativity. A must visit for fans of the arts, graffiti, street art, the musical arts etc. Definitely one of the cultural hubs if Zürich in my humble opinion.

The cuisine is delicious and the lunch menus are varied. However, there is a deduction for service; a 1-hour lunch break may not be enough.

Great cultural meeting place for young and old. There's always something exciting going on here!

It was just comfortable, uncomplicated. Will come again soon

We never dreamed of this in 1980... food like this in this location. The dessert was amazingly good!

Although there was a lot of wait to take our orders, this was rapidly forgotten when our food and house wine arrived. Everything was delicious! I wish we could have one more day in Zurich to return there and try more option! The waitress was really nice too, you just have to be patient as there are a lot of people to attend.

We called them to ask if we can eat, drove there for an hour only to hear kitchen is closed for an hour more. Guy gets angry and starts yelling, tells us to buy a sandwich.

This is a relaxed restaurant with a small but fine menu. Prices are totally fair and the best thing is the great view of the lake as well as the playground around the corner if you are traveling with kids.

Food hmmm only if you are starving and have not yeaten anything warm for days..

Guys, you are amazing! Please, however, improve your coffee and croissants - you are now in 30-40 percentile over the city of Zurich, there a lot of space for improvement! And it would be great to have Aperol Spritz back, the replacement option is rather undrinkabke..

Salad came 30 (!) minutes after all other dishes

The food was already cold when it was served and the service kept putting us behind when we wanted to pay. It was only after almost an hour, when we threatened to leave without paying, that we were heard. If you have a lot of patience, highly recommended.

Delicious as always, with a great view of the lake

The panorama at Ziegel oh Lac is impressive and the atmosphere is wonderfully relaxed. The restaurant is honest, down-to-earth and charming. However, queuing at the bar was a bit annoying. I also thought the prices were okay. Still, it's a perfect place for uncomplicated beer in casual clothing. Run by a collective, the industrial-style restaurant offers a wide selection of vegetarian and vegan dishes.

Alternatively, I like it. Drinks are available at a fair price. It has many different seating options inside and outside.

Very nice vegetarian and vegan dishes. Great vibes to hang out in summer. Manu is changing frequently depending on the season. Nice home made cakes.

Food ok, ambience takes getting used to and service poor. Waiting times too long, no attention and we only had drinks together on the third attempt.

Guys, I ate with a friend today, we had such meat that was really spoiled and we had diarrhea and dizziness all evening

Very nice restaurant to drop by with kids once you visit two playgrounds around.

Doesn't do justice to childhood memories anymore.

Great homemade food! Excellent treatment and a place with its own character. Highly recommended!

Nice place. Alternative, open, lived emancipation in all areas.

At first we waited 15 minutes for service despite being noticed. Afterwards 25 for food. When I asked him about it, I received the answer with a cheeky grin: “We need patience.” Was there for lunch at least 2-3 times a week.

Beautiful Place, Natural and Friendly Face ❤️

It is quite expensive. Specially when you consider that the place is quite a mess. Not the food quality you expect for the price you pay.

My last visit was very disappointing: After waiting in vain for 1 hour for service, we went looking for a service employee. It was busy and understandably service was slow. Despite being spoken to in a friendly manner and asking questions, one of the employees responded very cheekily, so much so that I lost my appetite. Not for people who want a great restaurant experience.

1) not a vegetarian Restraunt as google showed 2) we didnt get the right dish that was ordered, got one non-vegetarian (sausage + spaghetti) The place definitely has some good vibes, it’s crowded and always packed!

Beautiful place by the lake. Very fine food with large portions. No matter whether vegetarian, vegan or meat. Particularly beautiful in the evening with a view of the mountains.

Great dishes with places right by the lake. Perfect for the evening hours with and around to end the day.

Very good food, nice location, uncomplicated with self-service

We had spaghetti bolognese and a sandwich with goat cheese and salad. Was of excellent quality, both dishes. You could even order port there. The pinot noir was also of excellent quality. The acoustics in the very attractive room were also excellent. The wait staff was very responsive. And the prices were soft. We paid a total of 53.50. The toilets were of slightly lower quality. The floor was soaking wet and the fountain did not work.

Good Location on the lake, nice for summer days. A variety of options for food. The only problem i have it the staff... Unfortunately just super slow and not attentive at all and no one seems happy.

The food was really subpar. Ramen soup: water with a little spicy drops of something and cold, absolutely tasteless, tofu was at fridge temperature, noodles were some kind of wide noodles but definitely not ramen. After giving feedback to Service and asking whether it was good, I complained about it. Reaction nil. Then don't even ask...

Very interesting and special environment, nice service!!

Service very patchy. No items with potatoes were available.

Vegan burger was really bad because of BBQ sauce (there was no any pre-information about the sauce) and patty was bad taste, either. There are some far away better alternatives in Switzerland like beyond burger or somethiing like that.

Great location, good food, unfortunately very unfriendly service (was probably stressed)

Great independent bar and restaurant on the lake, with a very down to earth atmosphere. Staff is friendly and prices are good. The food was nice. Be aware that there is a minimum CHF 10 spend on card transactions

We wandered into this place by accident, but we heard about the street art of local guys at this establishment on a YouTube blog. The local beer here is very tasty. You won't be able to eat here, but there are no problems with drinks here. A very colorful place. Industrial style in its purest form.

Always good for great experiences

Lovely friendly place and the beer tastes great!

Nice, alternative decorations, beautiful lake view, drinks all the time, but food after 18:30

Fine food, fair prices, unconventional atmosphere

Relaxed vibe, with very tasty food. Sunday brunch starts at 11am, and they always have a good range of cakes to follow something warm. I’m a fan for their Rösti. Best to come by train, foot or bus as not much parking nearby. But if you do drive, it is a nice walk along the water from Seerose, where there is some parking.

Casual atmosphere, good coffee and tea. Sweet pastries are also highly recommended!

It's a cute place next to the Zurich lake. The view is nice especially on hot day. They have some good dishes. I tried a burger set with french fries which costs around 20 swiss franc.

Casual atmosphere, great location by the lake, pretty good food.

Tasty and generous food/drinks with welcoming service.

People diligently check the Corona certificates, but no one cares if someone is sneezing at the counter without a mask. Enjoy your hospital-style Röschti

At Ziegel Oh Lac you can eat very well with a manageable menu. There is always a vegan option, the prices are fair, and the portions are generous. The staff is always friendly and the cake is excellent. Together with the location on the lakeshore, it is a good address for a stop.

Yummy. Service is an imposition. Must be hard working there on a beautiful sunny day by the lake in beautiful Zurich. ;)

Akin to a scary tale my room was dirty, with broken furniture, broken kettle and smelled funny. Akin to an Accor they left customer cards. The surprise came with breakfast: OUTSTANDING.

Good food in a relaxed, colorful, alternative atmosphere. Very nice garden restaurant. The service could be a little quicker.

Very authentic place. I have known it for over 30 years and it is still as it allways was. Good food, beautiful setting, in alternative environment.

Neither here nor on the website was it properly pointed out that there was a closed society on site today and that the restaurant is closed to the public. We were then rudely pointed out after half an hour of driving. We were able to drive back. In retrospect, I saw on the website that it was quite small and hidden and again quite rudely pointed out that you were not welcome today. That doesn't work. Unfortunately I can't rate the food.

Great atmosphere Friendly staff Enjoy your meal A great playground around the corner Guests rather alternative

If you prefer a more calm and avantgarde like venue around Zurich this should be your choice. Delicious vegetarian friendly food, good drinks, awesome location at the lake Zurich and cool live events.

Very nicely located by the lake, large outdoor area. Simple menu with changing dishes, but "in a pinch" there's always spaghetti. Cheap with sometimes a bit chaotic service.

Very nice place. Very nice people. Good for medium size event.

Very nice to sit by the lake. Various small dishes such as burgers, hash browns or small daily specials. Service more or less attentive

Beautiful panorama, easy swimming, grilling,

Super alternative atmosphere and very tasty food

We had a really delicious meal and the service was excellent. The atmosphere was relaxed and the view was lovely. Would come back.

I love Rote Fabrik, the mood, the place, the people.. and this restaurant is not bad at all, but we had a bad experience last week. The place was a bit crowded, so we waited patiently.. for 10, 15... 20... 25 minutes to get the Karte. So I approached the waiter WITH A SMILE and said hi, could we get the Karte please? In a very bad mood, raising his voice he responded I am not a machine and turned away. Sad. Being kind should go both ways.

Always great food and fair prices

Seit 40 Jahren ist das ziegel oh lac ein zwangloser Ort für Familien, Geschäftsreisende, Touristen und jedermann/Frau. Ein schmelztiegel der Kulturen direkt an See. Wo gibt es noch live Konzerte im Restaurant an besonderen Abenden, wechselnde Ausstellungen und natürlich eine Küche, die mit frischen, lokalen und bio Produkten arbeitet. Jeden Tag vegane Gerichte auf der Karte und Brunch am Wochenende.

(Traducido por Google) Muy buena ubicación, buen servicio. Desafortunadamente largos tiempos de espera y mala higiene. La comida es barata. El sabor está bien, las combinaciones no siempre son comprensibles. (Original) Sehr tolle Lage, nette Bedienung. Leider lange Wartezeiten une Hygiene mässig. Das Essen preiswert. Im Geschmack okay, Kombinationen nicht immer nachvollziehbar.

(Traducido por Google) Excelente ubicación en el lago. Personal amigable. La comida es cara para la calidad. Espaguetis pegajosos. Falta sal. (Original) Super Lage am See. Freundliches Personal. Essen überteuert für die Qualität. Verklebte Spaghetti. Fehlendes Salz.

(Traducido por Google) Super buena comida y servicio. gracias (Original) Super feine essen und service. Danke

(Traducido por Google) Con todo entendimiento: ¿30 minutos para ordenar, más de 1 hora de espera para una tostada Chèvre-Chaud con ensalada? Absolutamente abrumado, personal descoordinado y sistema ineficiente (una persona recoge, otra distribuye la comida, pero no sabe quién ordenó qué). Otro punto negativo: vasos de plástico desechables para clientes de comida para llevar. ¿Por qué no un depósito? De lo contrario, pone tanto énfasis en la sostenibilidad. (Original) Bei allem Verständnis: 30 Min., um zu bestellen, mehr als 1 Stunde Wartezeit für ein Chèvre-Chaud-Toast mit Salat? Absolut überfordertes, unkoordiniertes Personal und ineffizientes System (eine Person nimmt auf, eine andere verteilt das Essen, weiss aber nicht, wer was bestellt hat). Ebenfalls ein Minuspunkt: Einweg-Plastikbecher für Take-Away-Kunden. Warum kein Depot? Ihr legt doch sonst so viel Wert auf Nachhaltigkeit.

(Traducido por Google) Excelente ubicación y buena comida. Lamentablemente, el servicio es un desastre. 40 minutos antes de que puedas ordenar. ¡Contrata más personal! (Original) Super Lage und gute Essen. Nur der Service ist leider eine Katastrophe. 40 Minuten bevor man überhaupt bestellen konnte. Stellt mehr Personal ein!

(Traducido por Google) Super ambiente, personal amable; Muy fácil y servicial. Los platos también son geniales (se recomiendan pasteles y Chèvre Chaud!) Y el precio es muy razonable. La gran vista del lago y el graffiti te invita a detenerte ... (Original) Super Ambiente, freundliches Personal; sehr locker und zuvorkommend. Die Speisen sind auch super (Kuchen und Chèvre Chaud zu empfehlen!) und preislich sehr in Ordnung. Der tolle Ausblick auf den See und die Graffitis lädt zum verweilen ein...

(Traducido por Google) Local en mano, ubicado en un hermoso lugar! Buena comida y buen personal (Original) Locale alla mano, situato in un posto stupendo! Cibo ottimo e personale gentile

(Traducido por Google) Un lugar icónico. Deja de Züri chic pero sigue siendo Züri. ;) Cuando visitamos, el servicio fue agradable, la comida era buena y el lugar no estaba tan lleno. Por lo general, está lleno de gente aquí los fines de semana. (Original) Ein kultiges Lokal. Halt mal nicht Züri-Chic aber immer noch Züri. ;) Bei unserem Besuch war der Service nett, das Essen gut und das Lokal mal nicht so voll. Am Wochenende ist es hier meist überfüllt.

(Traducido por Google) Lugar acogedor Sau - En verano, gran terraza del lago con una vista magnífica. (Original) Sau gemütliches Lokal - Im Sommer riesen Seetherasse mit grandiosem Ausblick.

(Traducido por Google) La comida era buena, pero el servicio era insuficiente, lo que condujo a largos tiempos de espera. (Original) Das Essen war guet, jedoch war die Bedienung unterbesetzt was zu langen Wartezeiten führte.

(Traducido por Google) La ubicación es excelente, me gusta mucho el interior con la sala alta. Te acostumbras a los baños pintados, que, por lo que pude ver, estaban limpios. La comida siempre ha sido buena a muy buena. El punto débil miserable es y sigue siendo que tienes que hacer cola para las bebidas en el bar. Por lo tanto, los precios no son más baratos, quizás con la excepción de los vinos. (Original) Die Lage ist genial, der Innenraum mit dem hohen Raum gefällt mir sehr. An die bemalten Toiletten, die - soweit ich das beurteilen konnte - sauber waren, gewöhnt man sich. Das Essen war bisher immer gut bis sehr gut. Der elende Schwachpunkt ist und bleibt, dass für die Getränke an der Ausschanktheke angestanden werden muss. Die Preise sind deswegen nicht günstiger, vielleicht mit Ausnahme der Weine.
