Sternen Grill, Traditional sausage restaurant at Bellevueplatz, Zurich, Switzerland.
Sternen Grill is a sausage restaurant at Bellevueplatz in Zurich, known for grilling over an open flame, with St. Gallen bratwurst as its main offering. The menu also covers poultry and meat-free options, all served with fresh bread rolls and mustard.
The Sternen Grill opened in 1962 and has been a fixture at Bellevueplatz ever since. A renovation in the 2010s temporarily moved the operation, but it returned to its original spot and has continued without interruption.
The Sternen Grill stands for a way of eating that feels deeply rooted in Zurich: simple, outdoor, with a sausage in hand. Locals and visitors line up at the same counter, sharing the same no-frills experience.
The restaurant sits right on Bellevueplatz, easy to reach on foot or by public transit. No reservation is needed, and you can either eat at the counter or take your order to go.
The St. Gallen bratwurst served here is traditionally eaten without mustard, as adding mustard is considered a mistake in St. Gallen culinary tradition. Asking for mustard tends to draw a knowing smile from regulars.
