Curated by PortaMi
The Silberkugel chain was founded in 1961 by Mövenpick's Ueli Prager as Switzerland's answer to the American diner, and the Oerlikon branch is one of its last survivors – a retro time-capsule of chrome, bullseye windows and a red-tiled counter. It serves the cult "Silber-Beefy" burger and Swiss-diner curiosities like beef tartare and a Schinken-Käse toast, at wallet-friendly prices.
