Franzos Coffee Shop

Curated by PortaMi

Franzos is a little French bistro and crêperie on the Limmatquai, right by the river in central Zürich. It trades in Parisian café warmth – buckwheat galettes, coq au vin, croissants and a much-loved hot chocolate – in an intimate room with a terrace over the water.

Why go

• •Savoury buckwheat galettes (usually available from around 11:30) and sweet crêpes
• •Excellent croissants and an exquisite hot chocolate
• •Riverside terrace on the Limmatquai; charming French decor
• •Small and often busy – reserve if you're more than a couple
