Holy Cow Zurich

Swiss burgers from heaven

""Holy Cow" Zurich serves my favorite burgers. What this place lacks in interior design it makes up with reasonable price tags and tasty burgers..."

Style-wise the Holy Cow - with its Swiss chalet-like theme - might not be on the same level as other gourmet burger restaurants in Zurich. But what this place lacks in interior design it makes up with reasonable price tags and a very impressive, original and tasty selection of burgers: from beef (Elvis Blue Cheese) to chicken (Camembert & Cranberry) to vegetarian (Veggie Chèvre), you'll need some time to select one of the twenty-three freshly made burgers on the menu.

When it comes to drinks, you won't find any foreign big brand names (like Coke) here. Rather - consistent with the Swissness of the place - the drink of choice is their homemade Sirup, which even comes with free refills, a custom otherwise unheard of in Switzerland.

The place is often packed, mostly due its proximity to the University and their special deals for student card holders - but don't worry, the turnaround is fast and on a sunny day you can even enjoy your menu outside.
