Casi Casa
Zurich
At a glance
Casi Casa is a Latin American restaurant at Lagerstrasse 104 in Zurich’s Europaallee, with a relaxed setting designed to feel welcoming and familiar. The venue combines food, drinks and Latino cultural influences, creating a place suited to social meals and informal gatherings.
The menu reflects the variety of Latin American cooking. Mexican, Colombian, Ecuadorian, Peruvian and Argentine influences appear across the selection, with dishes ranging from filled tacos and steamed tamales to fresh ceviche, arepas and twice-fried plantains. Street-food-style options include chifles, yuca fries, empanadas and corn ribs, while grilled meat and a pork-belly burger add more substantial choices. The menu also includes sweet dishes such as cinnamon churros and molten chocolate cake.
Casi Casa presents traditional flavours alongside modern interpretations. Patacones, for example, bring a Caribbean and Colombian plantain tradition to the table, while the rib-eye reflects Argentina’s fire-grilling culture. This mix gives the restaurant a broad Latin American identity rather than focusing on one national cuisine.
The drinks selection forms part of the same Latino-inspired concept, and the venue’s food offering extends across breakfast, snacks, lunch, dinner and brunch. That range makes Casi Casa suitable for different types of visits, from a daytime meal to shared plates and drinks later in the day.
The atmosphere is an important part of the experience. Casi Casa centres Latino lifestyle and culture through its interior character, food and programme of events. Salsa nights and culinary workshops are among the activities associated with the venue, adding a cultural and social dimension beyond the restaurant menu. Friends and families are part of the intended setting, particularly for meals built around sharing and conversation.
