Fischergarten

Fischergarten is a relaxed lakeside dining area at Zürichhorn, with a broad outdoor setting beside the water and more than 200 seats. The atmosphere is informal and uncomplicated, with self-service replacing table service. Green plane trees provide shade, making the garden suited to casual meals, drinks and breaks during a walk along the lake.

The menu centres on fish and includes meat dishes, vegetarian choices and seasonal additions. Fish knusperli with fries are a defining part of the offering, while the wider selection gives mixed groups room to choose different styles of meal. Vegetarian and vegan options are also available, so the garden can accommodate more than one dietary preference without losing its focus on fish.

Fischergarten has the character of a traditional outdoor beer garden by the lake, although the food offering is more varied than snacks alone. Gelati and house-made desserts provide a sweet finish, and the drinks selection complements the setting. The atmosphere remains particularly suited to daytime visits, informal lunches and relaxed afternoons outdoors rather than formal dining.

The location in Zurich’s Kreis 8 places Fischergarten beside the water at Bellerivestrasse 160. Its open layout and generous capacity make it practical for informal gatherings, while the self-service format keeps visits straightforward for people stopping by for a shorter meal. Families, groups of friends and walkers looking for a casual lakeside dining stop can all find an appropriate setting.

Fischergarten is a seasonal outdoor area and operates in suitable dry weather. Conditions can therefore affect whether the garden is open and comfortable, especially outside the warmer part of the year. Visitors planning a specific outing should check the venue’s current operating information before setting off. The venue also asks visitors not to consume snacks brought from outside, as food and drinks are intended to be purchased on site.
