Rigiblick, Restaurant with rooftop terrace in District 6, Zurich, Switzerland.
Rigiblick is a restaurant with a rooftop terrace in District 6 of Zurich, Switzerland. The wooden deck provides views of the lake, old town, and surrounding mountains from an elevated vantage point.
The site was once part of a mountain railway and cable car system that shaped Zurich's connection to the surrounding heights. The location retains traces of this earlier infrastructure that mattered for the city's growth.
The name references the view toward Rigi, a nearby mountain visible from the terrace. Diners sit in the open air while experiencing the connection between city and Alpine landscape that defines Zurich's setting.
The venue sits on an elevated location and is reachable by public transport. The terrace depends on weather and works best during warmer months.
The restaurant makes its own ice cream and serves it as a house specialty for dessert. This detail often goes unnoticed by visitors even though it adds to the overall dining experience.
