5 street food places in Zurich we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in Zurich | Street Food across every city.
Zurich's street food is anchored by the grill window and the market stall rather than the food truck. Sternen Grill and its neighbour Vorderer Sternen on Theaterstrasse have fed the Bellevue crossing for generations of late-night sausage runs, while Hiltl Takeaway on Sihlstrasse offers the vegetarian counterpoint and the Markthalle Im Viadukt stalls in Zurich West cover the rest.
