Sternen Grill
A famous local sausage stand in Bellevue operating since 1963, known for its St. Gallen bratwurst served with a bread roll and hot mustard.
Sternen Grill started as a small sausage stand in Bellevue in 1963 and is described by Zurich Tourism as the city's original street food. Its signature is the St. Gallen bratwurst, served with a crispy golden bread roll (Bürli) and very hot house-made mustard, which you can eat standing at the takeaway window for about CHF 8.50. The restaurant upstairs serves traditional Swiss dishes and offers views of Bellevueplatz and Lake Zurich. Expect queues at the takeaway window during peak hours. Located next to the Bellevue tram station, it stays open late, making it a great spot after a show or a walk through the Old Town.
Opening hours
Takeaway window: Sun–Mon 10:30–23:00, Tue–Sat 10:30–24:00; Upstairs restaurant: daily 11:30–22:00 (kitchen until 21:00); slightly reduced hours in Jan–Feb
