"Zum Goldenen Taschenbrot" Zurich: Creative kebab creations & fresh sourdough bread
Concept Zum Goldenen Taschenbrot
Zum Goldenen Taschenbrot in Zurich is not your typical kebab shop. Every bite here is made with passion. The founders, Sandro and David, have created a place where tradition meets creativity. The special touch: the bread comes from the bakery next door and is freshly baked for each creation. Whether it’s sourdough, whole grain, or regular bread, every option has its own character. My personal favorite is the sourdough bread: light on the stomach, full of flavor, and truly unique in Switzerland.
The philosophy of the restaurant is simple: high-quality ingredients, Swiss meat, artisanal craftsmanship, and unique creations. Every kebab is a little masterpiece, perfect for enjoying in a relaxed setting or grabbing on the go. The combination of fresh, homemade bread, vibrant ingredients, and creative fillings makes Zum Goldenen Taschenbrot a true highlight in Zurich.
Especially convenient: you order and pay at the counter, then you can either take a seat in the restaurant or take everything to go. This makes eating fast, flexible, and still relaxed.
Food at Zum Goldenen Taschenbrot
The menu is clearly structured but far from boring. There are two main spits: a juicy chicken spit, studded with peppers for extra flavor, and a house spit with tender veal. Both are perfectly grilled and form the base of the kebab creations. For vegetarians, there are falafel and Planted options.
What really stands out are the creative variations like Double Truffle, Chimichurri, or Smokey BBQ. My personal favorite is the Berlin Style, which contains both meat and plenty of vegetables. Grilled vegetables, salad, onions, tomatoes, and cucumbers are combined here with yogurt sauce and feta for a fresh and flavorful experience.
The bread plays a central role: freshly baked, fluffy, and aromatic, especially the sourdough bread, which elevates every kebab to the next level. It pairs perfectly with a homemade Ayran, which rounds off the meal beautifully. The truffle fries are another tip – crispy, flavorful, and the ideal snack alongside the kebab.
My Recommendations at Zum Goldenen Taschenbrot
If it’s your first time here, be sure to try the Berlin Style with sourdough bread. The combination of juicy meat, fresh vegetables, yogurt sauce, and feta is a true highlight. Pair it with a glass of homemade Ayran – perfectly refreshing and completing the taste experience.
The truffle fries are perfect if you want a little extra. Crispy, intensely flavorful, and slightly decadent – that’s exactly what makes them irresistible.
Zum Goldenen Taschenbrot is a place where you don’t just eat fast food, you experience kebab at its best. Sandro and David make sure everything is fresh, perfectly prepared, and served with love. A visit is worth it whether for a quick lunch or a cozy evening with friends.
