Local tip
The terrace does not take reservations, so groups should contact the restaurant in advance about their arrangements.

Seerestaurant Meilibach sits directly beside Lake Zurich in Au ZH, with the lake forming the main backdrop to a straightforward dining experience. The setting suits a meal as part of a lakeside outing, while the restaurant’s family-oriented character makes it approachable for different age groups.

The kitchen focuses on hearty, traditional cooking with a clear emphasis on fish. Crispy fish specialities are among the defining choices, alongside other substantial dishes in a style that is intended to feel familiar rather than formal. A separate selection for children supports the restaurant’s family focus, and an ice cream menu adds a simple option for dessert.

The atmosphere is relaxed and practical, with the restaurant serving as both a place for everyday meals and a destination connected to the surrounding lake. Outdoor seating is available on the terrace, where tables are not reserved. This makes the terrace particularly suited to flexible visits rather than tightly scheduled occasions.

Seerestaurant Meilibach also accommodates celebrations and larger gatherings. Events can be arranged with an individual menu and matching decoration, giving groups scope to plan a meal around a particular occasion. The venue therefore works for family outings, casual group meals and private celebrations, while its lakeside position adds a sense of occasion without requiring a formal dining style.

The restaurant follows a seasonal operating pattern, with opening arrangements changing during the year. Visitors planning a trip from Zurich or a longer excursion to Au ZH should confirm the current schedule before travelling. For a lakeside meal centred on hearty fare, fish specialities and an uncomplicated family setting, Seerestaurant Meilibach offers a clear and focused choice.
