Williams ButchersTable am Bellevue - Zürich
Zurich
At a glance
Williams ButchersTable am Bellevue combines a butcher shop with a restaurant at Schifflände 6, close to Bellevue in Zurich. The concept brings the meat counter into the dining experience, with guests able to select a preferred cut and receive guidance from the in-house butcher. The setting balances an old-school butcher-shop character with modern restaurant styling, while a rock’n’roll influence sits alongside more traditional details.
The menu centres on carefully selected beef and other premium cuts prepared in steakhouse style. The meat selection changes according to the offering at the counter, making the choice of cut part of the visit rather than a fixed decision made only from a menu. Starters, side dishes and desserts provide the supporting courses, while the restaurant also serves its distinctive bone-marrow shot.
At lunchtime, the Bellevue location offers a choice between selecting meat at the butcher counter and choosing from set lunch menus. Dinner is more closely focused on the full ButchersTable format, with meat, sides and a wine selection designed to accompany the meal. The restaurant’s approach suits diners who enjoy discussing cuts, preparation and provenance as much as the finished dish.
The long ButchersTable gives the dining room a shared, social quality, while the combination of counter service and table seating creates a setting that feels more individual than a conventional steakhouse. The atmosphere is suited to relaxed meals with friends, meat-focused dining occasions and gatherings where the main course provides the central conversation.
As well as regular restaurant service, the venue presents food-led events and can serve as an event location. Its butcher-shop side also offers professional advice for customers looking to purchase meat beyond the restaurant meal. Williams ButchersTable am Bellevue is therefore both a steakhouse and a working butcher counter, with a style that connects specialist meat retail, casual hospitality and classic dining.
