Zurich, Switzerland — Restaurants

Burklimarkt (Bürkliplatz Market)

Street Food

Getaway Unpacked Edit

The lakeside market every Tuesday and Friday morning (May-October) — fresh Appenzell cheese, wild mushrooms, Swiss wine, and grilled corn at one of Europe's most beautiful market settings.

Why It Belongs on the List

Set along Zurich’s lakefront at Bürkliplatz, Bürklimarkt is the city’s most scenic open-air market, where locals gather for fresh produce, flowers, cheeses, and regional specialties just steps from the water. It’s less about dining and more about atmosphere—perfect for a morning stroll, grazing from stalls, or assembling an impromptu picnic with lake views.

What Stands Out

  • Prime lakefront setting at Bürkliplatz
  • Fresh produce, Swiss cheeses, flowers, and baked goods
  • Strong local feel with farmers and artisan vendors
  • Best in the morning for browsing and light bites
  • Ideal for picnic provisions by Lake Zurich
