While expats and out-of-towners usually flock to the stylish but overcrowded Lily’s to get their share of Thai food, real locals know of this little hidden treasure just off Helvetiaplatz.

The family-run restaurant might might not be as chic or trendy as other places, but when it comes to the food you’ll be swept away by their vast selection of authentic Asian dishes. Ranging from tasty Satay and fried Wan Tan as starters to any combination of fried rice and noodles you might think of, this place will make any Thai foodie’s mouth water. And all at an unbeatable price. And if sightseeing hasn’t left you enough energy to page through the impressively long menu, just go for the Pad Thai Gai (Noodles with Chicken, Egg and Tofu) – it’s delicious.

Nice to know: while restaurants in Zurich are often closed on Sundays, this one remains firmly open. A real lifesaver.
