Gaijin is an homage to a Japanese Izakaya in Zurich’s Kreis 4, serving contemporary food inspired by Japanese preparation methods and flavours but encapsulating influences from all over Asia and other parts of the world. Using a traditional charcoal grill from Japan, at Gaijin we push forward modern ideas while celebrating both local but also unique ingredients from abroad, alongside beverages that mirror our cuisine.
Our approach and passion for unpretentious and delicious food accompanied by genuinely friendly service have helped us receive 14 Gault & Millau points, as well as a spot in the Michelin guide as a ‘Bib Gourmand’ restaurant, in just over two years of operation.
Both omakase menus can be adapted to accommodate allergies and food intolerances.
Please inform us of any dietary requirements and if cross contamination it’s okey for you at least 3 days in advance so that our kitchen team can prepare the experience accordingly.
Please note that the two omakase menus cannot be combined within the same group. The group must choose either the Surprise Omakase or the Omakase Gourmand.
For groups including vegetarian or pescatarian guests, we can make an exception and prepare a special vegetarian or pescatarian omakase experience for those guests.
For groups of 8 or more guests, a unified dining concept is required.
A credit card is required to secure the reservation.
For groups of 15 or more guests, a 20% deposit may be requested. The deposit is non-refundable for cancellations made less than 7 days in advance.
For groups of 15 or more guests (fridays and saturdays) reservations are only available at the following times:
20:15 or 20:30 — with the table available until closing
