Best British restaurants in Switzerland

A pub's attraction is generally made of atmosphere, staff, other patrons, and to the least of all food and, of course, drinks.

The Lion pub has great and friendly staff. It's attracts a nice and pleasant crowd. Its drinks are fine, its chips are great, the food is not bad at all.

Every visit there is a win. Warmly recommended.

Absolutely adore the pub decor, it’s classy, modern and clean. The atmosphere is lively and civilised. The staff are fantastic; incredibly friendly, very helpful and respectful. Great selection of beers and cocktails and really enjoy chicken wings and jalapeños poppers.

An alright pub - was way less crowded than Kennedy's on Thursday night. Murphys instead of Guinness, but that's alright for me. Staff looked a little grumpy and overwhelmed, though service was fast. Nachos are a mountain for some reason, so when the toppings are over one is left with a slightly less mountain of salty chips - there's plenty of topping, but still way more chips, and cheddar solidifies much faster than it's possible to consume even a quarter of that. Why such a humongous portion is beyond me - though was tasty as much as I could stomach, 1/3 would have been quite enough. Overall decent pub, though didn't feel special to me.

Walked past and decided to drop in for dinner. Dinner took a little too long to be served however one could tell that the pub was full house.

You’ll need to find a table & order at the bar counter. They’re very busy all the time. I guess people come to the bar to chill and take their time so that’s fine!

Disappointed that fish and chips was out for the day :( but the pie was great!

Ordered an Irish and a baileys coffee for 11franks a piece. Next time I would like a full cup of coffee rather than half. To the “lovely” bar man who thinks this is one cup, maybe make the effort to press the button and make one more to fill up the cup. A ridiculous price for that little coffee and the taste was also mediocre.

War ein toller Abend. Getränke und Essen musste an der Bar bestellt werden was völlig normal ist für ein Pub. Das Personal ist freundlich. Essen hat geschmeckt und die Stimmung war gut. Lage auch gut.

I’ve been traveling throughout Europe for a month and spent nearly two weeks in the UK, and the fish & chips here are the best I’ve ever had. Amazing flavor, crunchy but tender, and absolutely delicious! And the bloke running the place was so friendly and welcoming, I couldn’t be happier! Thank you for an awesome experience!

Unbelievably small food portions. Don't eat here unless on a diet. Steak Pie (ie mini Pukka pie) took 30 plus minutes to defrost, fish and chips only has one small piece of fish and a thimble of mushy peas. Good for sports though, just plan for a pre or post visit kebab.

Excellent pub Food, in a more Zúrich than English pub ambiance. The perfect mix of experience to enjoy the sports event in the Zúrich context, with higher food quality standards than in nearby pubs.

Definitely one of the place when it comes to sport in Zurich! Rugby World Cup will happen here for me. Finger food, great ambiance, definitely helpful and enjoyable service. Prost!

10 out of 10 👍🏻
Excellent food, beer and service!
Highly recommend! Must have fish&chips!!

Bartender took her time pouring the perfect beer. My friend had the fish & chips and said it was the best he had. Atmosphere is great inside.

We ran into this place as we were exploring Old Town Zürich. We met Andrew from Columbus, OH who told us that it was Zurich’s oldest expat pub. We fell in love with the place immediately. Great selection of beers and the vibe is of an old English style pub. They were doing trivia that night as well. We will definitely be back.

First night in Zurich on a business trip and was looking for a quick bite. The pub has a polished interior with a well lit space, especially compared to most US pubs. The bar tender was friendly and attentive. The drinks and food came fast and were very good. The food menu was extensive with very good burger, sandwich and entree options. The beer menu could use a few more options for both draft and bottled beers. I would give it 4.5 stars.

After a few hours of exploring Old Town Zurich, we stopped here for the beginning of our pub crawl. This was stop number one. The decor is tastefully done and not gaudy. They had a good selection of beer on tap. There is a snug overlooking a brasserie. They have outdoor seating too. I ordered a Moscow mule which even came in a proper copper mug. There was a food menu but we only came from drinks.

A family with kids and strollers sat near us and ordered food so it's good for kids too.

Went to The Lion to watch the 6 Nations Rugby, and decided to try their Sunday Beef Roast. It was excellent and really tasty! Perfect with a Murphy’s Red Ale and the Rugby! Will defo be back next time I’m in Zurich and the Rugby is on :) The service was also great!
