On the Grid : Wirtschaft im Franz

"This is a great concept that only the brave would attempt. There are two daily set menus to choose from, for example a fish/meat menu (four courses for CHF 89) and a vegetarian menu (four course for CHF 77). Alternatively, if you are not that hungry you can choose any item off either menu. The menu design is modern and the cuisine sophisticated. The ingredients are superb that is, local, fresh, organic and delicious. The ambience is relaxed and the staff is super friendly, which all makes for a great experience for the customer." - Saloon

"Tucked away in an inner courtyard is Franz (the name is derived from the female-forward concept of "Frauen im Zentrum"), a space dedicated to culture, work and food. The latter is to be had here at Wirtschaft im Franz, in the form of a cleverly devised surprise menu comprising four, five or six courses. Modern and seasonal dishes such as "Beetroot, leek, mustard seed, horseradish" are pleasingly pared back and creative without being fussy. The emphasis is on the quality of the produce, with vegetables taking centre stage. Information on the ingredients used and their provenance is listed on the menu, and the front-of-house team is happy to provide further details. The place has an inviting feel: the open kitchen and trendy bistro style make for a pleasingly unpretentious, friendly and urban atmosphere. Gorgeous inner courtyard terrace." - Michelin Inspector

➡️ @aDJinZurich 29.09.2025 My partner and I third visit and Wirtschaft im Franz just keeps getting better 🌿✨ I swapped my usual Negroni for a sparkling tea from Copenhagen Sparkling Tea Company — elegant, refreshing, and the perfect start. The summer menu highlights? All but their dreamy watermelon with goat cheese ricotta 🍉 and a green bean, peperoni & almond dish were pure flavor magic. On top of that, the service was fantastic — attentive, warm, and they went out of their way to cater to my white grape allergy ❤️ Cozy, creative, and unforgettable. Can’t wait to see what autumn brings. 🥂💫 Thank you, Wirtschaft im Franz ❤️

Underwhelming at best. The food is not as good as they want it to be. And at this price point it's not good enough. The service was attentive and nice. I absolutely HATE when on one hand they try to make fancy food but you don't get your cutlery changed after each couse (you have to stick with your soup poiled spoon until the end). Fine dining concept is only felt when presented with the bill.

We had a wonderful dinner night here! All the dishes we tried were prepared with creative ingredients and the taste was just incredible! We enjoyed all the dishes from start to finish and also the wine pairing was simply astonishing! Our favorite dish was by far the pasta with topinambour and the wine pairing there was really something else. Overall a great experience and for a good price! I definetely recommend!

Tasty dishes based on local Swiss produce. If having to choose between the meat and fish servings, we would go for the trout, which was very nice. The acoustics in the restaurant are surprisingly good.

We arrived early at 18:00 when the restaurant was still empty, which was a great decision. We started with sardines& sourdough bread and a nice cocktail with cedar sprout, grape juice and something bubbly. We chose a 4 course menue& were surprised with cooked reedbeet& horseradish, pork chop in a berhoney sauce with apple vinaigrette, whole wheat pasta with topinambur mousse& chips, bacon, coffee dressing, best quince sorbet with an cream cheese foam& pumkin seed croquant. Loved everything!

Very nice! The place is cozy and the girl from the service is super kind and knows how to recommend a good wine. To be honest, from a Michelin star's restaurant I was hoping in something better, the food is very good but nothing that's sounds like "wow".

Enjoyable dinner with good quality dishes. The main dish based on topinambur was especially good. However, there are several aspects to improve. The service was a bit slower than expected and a bit too pushy in suggesting to get wine. They should have a larger room, because it was too loud due to the amount of people. I could barely hear the person in front of me. Unlike other Michelin restaurants, we had to ask to refill the bread dish and they didn't offer the traditional amuse buche.

We had a great experience: everything local and seasonal while preserving refinement and balance. The wine list is mostly focusing on natural wines, with its pros and cons. However, that night we were offered a great wine from Occhipinti (Sicily) that I have been tried to find for a while with no luck (and it was great!).

Came here on a weekend evening a few minutes after they opened. Would recommend making a reservation because it gets full fast! We got a seat, had our coats taken, and the waitress explained to us that there's a set menu. For drinks, my friend got a unique wine and I got a non-alcoholic fruity berry drink that I quite enjoyed. For the cold appetizer, we could have sardines but since I don't like sardines, we got bread and olive paste instead. The bread was super soft and olive paste was tasty. As for the warm appetizer, I opted for the meat starter and my friend got the vegetarian one - the meat starter had fish and it was delicious. Light, melted in my mouth, really awesome. The next dish was a combination of different vegetables, and there were some vegetables in there that I don't think I've had before. There was a pasta dish as well, great combination of flavors with tomato and cheese. Dessert was great too, a cake with raspberry. I loved every dish and the experience here; really friendly service, easy-going but upscale-y ambiance. Food is locally grown and sourced, and I like the preset menu (don't need to make any choices!). Meal was pretty pricey though at almost $300 for two.
