Cheapish places to eat in Zurich?

Question

I'm visiting Zurich this Sunday, and I'd like to know places that I can go to eat. I'm a student, and I'd really like to eat swiss food, but spending 35 dollars on one meal of cheese is out of the question.

Answer 1

hey! im going to zurich tomorrow! from there to austria and then to paris. good question! i'd like to know where i could eat in zurich too! :)

Answer 2

Rather cheap places with decent foods are the Restaurants of MIGROS and COOP (lokal supermarkets) but I'm not sure if they are open on Sundays,sorry.

Answer 3

I would stick to the small places near the Hauptbahnhof.  There are several cheap stands inside where you can get decent sandwiches and drinks cheap.  Thats what i did the first time i went to Zurich.  If you like Asian food, there are several thai restaurants close by also.

Answer 4

The best combination of Swiss, cheap and open on Sunday that I can think of would be to go to a bratwurst grill (there are a couple near Bellevue, not sure if it'll be pouring like today, in which case the one in the main station might be better--it's all outdoors). You can get a sausage for 5 franks or so, comes with a bun and mustard.

The Migros and Coop restaurants as someone suggested aren't open, but the Coop stand on Bahnhofbrucke (the bridge over the Limmat river near the station) might be. You can get a sandwich, that kind of thing.

But if you do go for the 35-dollar Swiss meal, make it veal, not cheese!

Answer 5

the local dump.
