D’OURO Zurich

Bitesized Portuguese delicacies

"D'OURO in Zurich transforms Hardplatz with vibrant Portuguese cuisine, warm hospitality, and an impressive Port wine selection for an unforgettable dining."

When I first moved to Zurich, Hardplatz felt like a dreary, grey traffic hub with little to offer. That all changed when D'OURO opened its doors. This contemporary Portuguese restaurant has brought color, warmth, and life to this corner of the city.

What makes D'OURO special? First and foremost, the hospitality. The Portuguese-Swiss owners go above and beyond to make every guest feel welcome. Their warmth sets the tone for an exceptional dining experience.

And then there’s the food. D'OURO’s menu is all about sharing—small plates that invite you to savor a wide range of specialities. It strikes a perfect balance between authentic, lesser-known dishes and beloved Portuguese classics, like Francesinha or flambeed Chouriço sausage. For the adventurous or indecisive, the surprise menu is a must-try.

To top it all off, D'OURO boasts an impressive Port wine menu. Whether you’re new to Port or dreaming of savoring a 40-year-old Douro nectar, this is the place to indulge!
