When the seasons change and the days grow shorter, there’s nothing quite as comforting as a steaming bowl of soup. Luckily, Zurich knows how to do soup right. Influenced by flavours from all over the world, the city offers plenty of spots where you can grab a delicious soup to go, enough to try something new every time. Here are our 5 favourite places for a soup takeaway in Zurich. 1) Zuki's At Zuki’s, the homemade soups have earned a loyal following. While they’re just one part of the menu, these fresh, comforting bowls are a daily highlight - often featuring vegetarian or vegan options served with Turkish flatbread. Look out for favourites like herb-yogurt barley soup or Zuki's signature lentil soup. Each recipe is rooted in Anatolian family tradition and seasoned with special spices sourced from the founder’s grandparents’ village. Perfect for a nourishing takeaway meal, Zuki’s soups bring warmth and flavour inspired by Mediterranean and Middle Eastern traditions. And if you’re staying for more, don’t miss Zuki’s other Anatolian specialties - a soup and something extra make the perfect pairing. Morgartenstrasse 12, 8004   Monday - Friday 11:30 - 14:00 2) Suppelade One of Zurich’s best-known spots for takeaway soup is Suppelade. Open five days a week, this local favourite serves a rotating selection of freshly prepared soups, all house-made with high-quality ingredients. Besides their soups, they also offer a variety of delicious cakes. Our current favourite? The Marronikuchen , a seasonal cake made with chestnuts. Stop by their location on Lagerstrasse during your midday break and enjoy a delicious, nourishing lunch. Lagerstrasse 119, 8004 Monday - Friday 11:00 - 14:00 3)   Mi-T ê Mi-Tê brings the vibrant flavours of Vietnamese street food to Zurich. Our favourite dish on the menu? The pho bò, a fragrant and comforting beef noodle soup that captures the true taste of Vietnam. Also, don’t miss their unique Vietnamese coffees; a fresh way to experience robusta beans. At Mi-Tê, every visit is a journey to Vietnam’s streets, served with a warm welcome. Insider tip: To reduce food waste, Mi-Tê offers a thoughtful end-of-week treat. Stop by on a Friday afternoon and enjoy their bánh mì or desserts at a special price. It’s the perfect way to start the weekend with something delicious.

Image by Ysée Rocourt As autumn slowly arrives in Zurich, a familiar sweet and smoky scent begins to take over the city streets. It’s the unmistakable aroma of heissi Marroni  — roasted chestnuts. These charming marroni stands are a cherished part of Zurich’s cold-weather culture, offering warmth in a paper cone and a taste of nostalgia. Here are BYCA's 6 favourite stands to visit this fall season: 1) Bellevue Marroni Founded in 1985, Bellevue Marroni is one of the most iconic names in Zurich when it comes to roasted chestnuts. Originally established by Pavol Visnovsky, the business is now proudly run by his daughter Ana and her partner Severin, continuing the family tradition with passion and care. Their chestnuts are sourced directly from Italy, and they take pride in roasting them to perfection. Visit their stands at Bellevue or Sihlcity to enjoy the authentic taste of Italian roasted chestnuts. They also offer raw chestnuts to take home — and if you do, be sure to ask Ana and Severin for their expert tips on how to roast them just right. Bellevue, St. Urbangasse Monday - Saturday 11:00 - 19:00 Sunday 11:30 - 18:00 Sihlcity, Kalanderplatz Monday - Saturday 11:00 - 20:00 Sunday closed Image by Ysée Rocourt 2) Marroni Krahl Located on the bustling Bahnhofstrasse, right at the intersection with Rennweg, Krahl’s roasted chestnut stand is a beloved stop for those craving classic Swiss street treats. In addition to their delicious heissi Marroni , the stand also offers Magenbrot —a spiced, gingerbread-like cookie—and roasted almonds, both from the renowned Walliser Confiserie. Bahnhofstrasse, 8001 Image by Ysée Rocourt 3) Frido's Heissi Marroni While waiting in line for a small cone of heissi Marroni , I watch the chestnut roaster playfully toss the nuts into the air before they land neatly in the cone, just to entertain a young girl perched on her mother’s arm. The man behind the stand is Martin Zahn, better known as Frido. With over 40 years of experience, Martin is one of Zurich’s most seasoned—and most beloved—chestnut roasters. Paradeplatz, 8001 Image by Ysée Rocourt 4) Albisriederplatz & Utoquai One of Zurich’s best-known spots for heissi Marroni  is the stand at Albisriederplatz. Tucked between shops and restaurants, it’s a popular stop for locals and passersby alike. This stand is run by a collective named Rotchabis-Marronion. Besides Albisriederplatz, they have a stand at Utoquai as well. What makes their chestnuts so special? They roast the Marroni  together with red cabbage; a unique method that adds moisture, enhances the flavor, and gives the chestnuts an extra touch of character.
