Steinbock

Steinbock is a lakeside restaurant at Marktgasse 25 in Rapperswil-Jona, with a setting shaped by Lake Zurich and views towards the Glarus Alps. The venue combines a conventional restaurant space with two outdoor areas, giving diners a choice of atmosphere depending on the season, weather and occasion.

The first-floor sun terrace provides an elevated place for a meal or a drink, while the Nautic terrace sits directly beside the lake quay. Together, the terraces make the restaurant suitable for guests who want to spend time outdoors while remaining close to the town and waterfront. The lake-facing setting also gives Steinbock a natural role for relaxed daytime dining and unhurried evening meals.

The restaurant presents itself as a welcoming place for a few comfortable hours away from everyday routines. Its character is informal and convivial rather than formal, with the emphasis on hospitality, the surrounding scenery and time spent at the table. The offering is centred on restaurant dining, with culinary service available indoors and outdoors. The Nautic area adds a distinct waterfront dimension to the main restaurant.

Steinbock suits diners looking for a meal with a waterside backdrop, as well as those planning a relaxed stop during time in Rapperswil-Jona. It can also appeal to visitors exploring the broader Zurich area who want to combine food with lake and mountain views. The separate terrace areas allow the venue to work for different kinds of visits, from a casual drink by the quay to a longer meal in the restaurant or on the upper terrace.

For a more specific choice of setting, the first-floor sun terrace offers views from above, while the Nautic terrace keeps the lake immediately nearby. The restaurant’s location and multiple dining areas are central to its identity, making Steinbock a place where the surroundings are part of the experience alongside the food and service.
