The evening before my birthday, I stepped inside and was pleasantly surprised by their magical dinner combo: the best croque-monsieur I had ever tasted, accompanied by the most refreshing whisky-based cocktail I had ever tried. Their elemental Whisky Sour. I totally recommend this place: Especially if you would like to dine in a space that combines Parisian and Zürichian interior architectural styles.

Best croissant 🥐 in Zurich! Very solid French style breakfasts as well. Been here 4-5 times and they never disappoint! Service is excellent and attentive…

Stopped by Franzos for breakfast, and it was a great start to the day! ☀️ Had my first hot coffee in Zurich here, and it was excellent. The food was delicious, and the croissant was perfectly flaky and buttery. On top of that, the staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Highly recommend!! 🙂

This is a fantastic location to enjoy a lovely breakfast, brunch or coffee. Such a wonderful location easily accessible by walking or train. We enjoyed the bacon, eggs and freshly baked buttery croissant that literally melted in my mouth. The vanilla latte was wonderful. I love that the menu was small making it quick and easy to make a delicious decision from the wonderful choices. You have the option of enjoying a sparkling mimosa, cocktail coffee or a delicious espresso drink. It was quite popular on a Saturday morning and I highly recommend you make a reservation. The environment was quaint and cozy. Very happy we decided to enjoy a family brunch here. Would happily return again and highly recommend this establishment.

We stayed at the Central Plaza across the street and were looking for breakfast before catching the train to Geneva. We tried their yogurt and their Tartine with Smoked Salmon and Avacado. See the picture, if you don't want to go there after seeing it, you hate good food. Go to Starbucks a few doors down.

Great cafe/bar/restaurant in centre of Zurich. Great service and brilliant, friendly staff. Great selection of food and drink and a wide selection of freshly made crepes 👍

It has a limited menu if not eating breakfast there. The service was a bit slow and our food took a long time to come but when it did it was very good. The tables are small and there isn't much space but otherwise it's quite nice

Excellent coffee with friendly multi-lingual service (including English). I have to ask though about one particular seat: who is the daredevil that would sit in that table above the stairs down?

Rude Poor service - seating at tables for dinner seems to be impossible here ! I asked to be seated at an empty 2-seat table to which the server responded that they would lose money if I did.

We just stopped in off of the street. A very crowded place but we soon realized why. The food was simple and very fresh. I got the simple breakfast which came with a croissant and four slices of fabulous bread, honey butter and rustic jam. I'd definitely return

Franzos is a charming Cafe right on the river and next to ETH Zurich. Staff was kind and accommodating to me only speaking English. I ordered the Croque, which was very tasty and used excellent cheese. The atmosphere was lively and was a mix of students, locals, and travelers. I would recommend Franzos to anyone staying in Zurich short- or long-term!

Wonderful meal in Zurich. Even though it is in Switzerland, it is wonderfully French so delicious. All 5 of us had different dishes and they were all delightful!

BEWARE!!! I threw up AND got SICK when I ate a croissant there, this place should be shut down for health and safety. When I came back from the restroom I complained to the owner he was RUDE and dismissive of my complaint. I left with a sore stomach, up to you !!!NEVER AGAIN!!!

Opened very recently, small cosy french café (Franzos = French). The staff is friendly and their coffee is very good. The terrace on the street is next to Central and overlooks the Limmat. I would say it's the best pick among the coffees near Central. I will be back again.

Oh I love Franzos! It's just a great spot all day long. Enjoy an early breakfast, brunch, lunch, afternoon treat or a glass of wine / cocktail accompanied with a cheese platter. Quite reasonable prices for Zurich. My suggestion: The mint tea! ah and not to forget: Staff is top notch!

On a very hot summers day I really enjoyed the crepe with ham, cheese and egg. Perfectly cooked with a generous salad, mix of lettuces, leaves etc. My companion had the goats cheese on toast with salad and was very impressed with that. Iced coffee was just right too. Staff very pleasant and spoke English. Zurich prices a bit of a shock to Australians, this place is reasonable on that score.

A cute place with delicious pastry. Very French, including inattentive (but nice) service.
