Casa Aurelio
Zurich
At a glance
Casa Aurelio is a Spanish restaurant set in a backyard in Zurich’s Langstrasse quarter. Its character combines the sociable feel of a neighbourhood dining room with a menu shaped by Spanish and Mediterranean traditions. Traditional Swiss dishes also feature, giving the kitchen a broader regional identity than a strictly Spanish restaurant.
The menu is arranged around tapas, main courses, desserts and chef’s specialities. Meat, fish and seafood form an important part of the offering, while salads and vegetables bring freshness to the selection. Spanish cooking draws on a wide range of regional styles, and Casa Aurelio reflects that variety through dishes seasoned with herbs and spices associated with southern Europe.
Ingredient quality is central to the restaurant’s approach. Fresh produce, fish, seafood and meat receive careful attention in the kitchen, with each plate treated as part of the overall dining experience. The result is a menu suited to diners looking for Mediterranean flavours, whether the occasion calls for a selection of smaller plates or a more substantial meal.
Wine has a prominent place at Casa Aurelio. The restaurant has a wine cellar with a selection that includes rare bottles, and wine guidance is available from the team. That focus makes the venue relevant for meals where the pairing is part of the occasion, as well as for straightforward lunches and dinners.
The atmosphere is intended to feel comfortable and convivial rather than formal. The backyard setting gives the restaurant a distinct sense of place within the Langstrasse area, while the combination of Spanish, Mediterranean and Swiss cooking makes it suitable for different dining preferences within the same group. Banquet arrangements are also part of the restaurant’s offering.
On Fridays and Saturdays, live bands add a musical element to the evening. Casa Aurelio therefore suits guests seeking a social meal with a broad menu, a considered wine selection and the possibility of live entertainment. The restaurant also offers a daily park service, adding a practical option for visitors arriving by car.
