About
Celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2025, Ginger Restaurant has been a cornerstone of Zürich's Japanese dining scene since opening in the Seefeld district. The space is divided into three distinct areas: a classic sushi bar, an intimate yakitori bar where skewers are grilled over binchōtan charcoal, and a relaxed à la carte dining room. Chef craftsmanship is front and centre — fresh fish is sourced daily and nigiri are shaped by hand at the counter. Its longevity in a demanding market is testament to consistent quality and a loyal following among both expats and local Zürchers.

Ginger Restaurant sits in Seefeld (Kreis 8), one of Zürich's neighborhoods where authentic Japanese kitchens have taken root.
