NapaGrill Zurich

NapaGrill sits at Brandschenkestrasse 130, well clear of the tourist density found closer to the city’s major galleries. It holds a Wine Spectator Excellence Award and is ranked no. 56 on the World’s 101 Best Steak Restaurants list.

The kitchen favors a contemporary grill menu over the heavy, traditional fare found in the nearby Altstadt. While the room runs smart and elegant, the appeal lies in its distance from the Bahnhofstrasse crowds; you choose this spot for the precision of the wine list rather than the convenience of the lakefront. It prioritizes the quality of the cut above the posturing of Zurich’s more central tables.
