Ristorante Bianchi

One of the best fish restaurants in Zurich. Fresh seafood, beautifully prepared. A very pleasant ambiance and attentive, friendly service.

We came here for a Saturday night dinner and made reservations online. We thought about sitting outside but the umbrellas did not offer enough shade in the 30C+ heat, so we opted for inside with air conditioning. We were seated and immediately offered an aperitif, but almost finished our champagne before the staff realized we did not have menus. I was excited as I saw oysters in some online reviews, but I did not see any in the fresh seafood display to order. We ordered the octopus carpaccio and the lobster salad as starters, then the tuna steaks and lobster linguine as the main. The lobster salad was amazing, but the octopus salad did not taste like anything. There was a drizzle of something on top, but even a lemon and olive oil would have enhanced any type of flavor but was not on the plate. The raw zucchini balls also did not add any flavor to the dish. I mentioned this to the staff when clearing the table that the carpaccio was very underwhelming and they offered to make another plate, but I respectfully declined. The lobster linguine was perfect. Perfectly seasoned and perfectly cooked. The tuna steak with pepper crust was also good with an amazing saffron sauce, but the lobster linguine was far more amazing for a flavorful explosion. The dessert presentations were very creative and very good. We wanted to order a digestif, but the staff seemed a but overwhelmed with the amount if guests outside so we were a bit overlooked. We just ordered the check instead. One thing that could be improved is if the waitress could wipe down the bottle of wine after taking it out of the ice bucket. When she was refilling our wine glasses, the water from The bottle was also dripping on the table and onto our bread and food plates. All in all, the food is if really great quality, but not sure I would come here again.

The sea food risotto is soo good! We tried sea food linguine (red) and sea food risotto is slightly better!! Bigger portion is better for 2 ppl sharing. The location is easy to find. The starter bread is gorg! Tomato and black olive ones are so so good. Even the bread stick is great! Defo try if you just want a spot for Lunch or dinner as a tourist

Definitely a great Italian restaurant in central Zurich! I visited with my boyfriend and a friend. All the staff were professional. The atmosphere of the restaurant is classic and calm. The food was fresh and delicious, bringing out the flavor of the ingredients. Everything was delicious, from the appetizers to the main course and dessert. I'm Japanese, but I was impressed by the dishes, which had a strong dashi flavor. The food also goes great with wine. I'd like to visit here again when I come to Zurich. Thank you very much.

My wife and I had a perfect dining experience at Bianchi, despite walking in on a busy weekend when every cheaper place was fully booked. We decided to try our luck and were warmly greeted upon entering the restaurant. Although we were told to come back at a later time due to the dinner rush, the wait was worth it—the rest is history! We ordered the seasonal menu, starting with 6 pieces of fresh French oysters as starter and a Lobster Creamy Soup to warm up the stomach. I was absolutely blown away by their freshness and perfect balance of saltiness. Pairing them with FERRARI Brut Rosé was nothing short of a heavenly match. My wife told me that Bianchi’s seafood risotto has officially topped her list. The seafood was incredibly fresh, perfectly cooked, and bursting with flavor. It’s a level of quality we rarely get in our country, where sub-par dishes are often served at luxury prices. As for me, I had the lobster linguine, and it was exceptional. The lobster was fresh, sweet, and cooked to perfection, maintaining its juiciness in every bite. Every mouthful felt like pure luxury. I ended it well with a whiskey on the rocks, and that puts me to a good sleep after we got back our residence! Great food! Great ambiance, will definitely return again!

Thank you so much for a fantastic evening. The food, staff and atmosphere was perfect. Jessica was a wonderful host and everyone enjoyed their dishes. The fish was exceptional and we look forward to dining with you again very soon. Thank you for making mum's trip so enjoyable.

Great service and great food for our first dinner in Zurich. We especially loved the whole grilled Turbot, which was so fresh and perfectly cooked. Not always an easy thing to find in places so far from the sea.

It's one of the best Italian restaurants I have ever tried l. They serve freshly prepared seafood dishes. Reasonable price and very friendly service. I strongly recommend anyone visiting Zurich to enjoy their dishes.

You would think you were on the Mediterranean based on the quality of this seafood, not Lake Zürich with the Alps in the distance. Also the owner runs a tight ship. He is ever present, greeting the clientele, explaining the menu, donning a glove to grab a fish by the tail from the iced display box and take it to the kitchen. It was the perfect lunch. Excellent food, wine, service and people watching. The decor is an eclectic mix that adds to the atmosphere.

Food was pretty good. In general, food in Zurich are not that good but pricey. I gave it 4 stars because: 1) Service was excellent. 2) Nice elegant place. The portions were large. We got the seabass and lobster linguine. Seabass was different from the US. It was thin but almost like a cod style. I There were two pieces. The sauce was mustard flavor. Linguine did not have that much lobster but had the strong flavor of the sauce. Total cost 140 Swiss Franc. This included 2 bottle water and a glass of wine.

Service was outstanding. Food was amazing. The wine! The bread! The sorbet! Cannot recommend enough. Was able to walk in, so good service (shorter black haired female) and everything g was perfect, start to finish!

Great location, bustling night, seems to be mostly local and regulars. Since I love Italian food and seafood, there were too many choices for me, so I ordered seafood risotto half portion, lobster linguine half portion and two grilled king prawn. My BF ordered off the menu- he asked for non seafood risotto and they were happy to accommodate his request and brought delicious mushroom risotto. He ordered sea bass for main. Besides my seafood risotto being slightly saltier than my taste, everything was on point. Lobster linguine sauces were creamy but not greasy, generous amount of lobster and oh boy, the grilled king prawn was the best. We finished with some ice cream dessert. Nice staffs and even apologized for being slow which wasn't a problem at all. Excellent seafood and highly recommend.

Very nice restaurant, with great food and service. Good wine list as well. The seafood is excellent, very fresh. The restaurant gets busy, but seemed like more locals than tourists. Great dining experience.

We had a group of six, service is fantastic, restaurant is beautiful inside and seating outside overlooking the water. Fantastic Italian with fresh seafood. I'd go back there over and over again.

Lively spot on the river walk, popular for its total fish menu. The courses are smallish but well played and flavorful. All the fish is fresh and the fish soup is a perfect substitute for a full bouillabaisse.

We celebrated my grandmothers birthday here and since she was really looking forwards to eating fish she wanted everything to be perfect. We had to try 3x until everyone was satisfied with their main course... The chef wasn't paying too much attention while preparing the fish because it came out over cooked. Naturally my family started complaining and the waitress tried her best to calm the mood and bring new plates of fish on the table. At least the second serving was an improvement to the first and we were now all able to start eating. All in all the restaurant is nice with its view on the Limmat and the staff is really nice. Once the fish and seafood is prepaerd cautiously the food is really good but otherwise.. Well lets say you could eat cheaper and just as good in another restaurant.

this is an amazing restaurant for fresh fish . we enjoyed the fish cooked in salt highly recommended

Oyster bar out front on the sidewalk in winter! 2 species from Ireland! Worth the hefty price. They should keep this the year long!
