What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Gül Restoran is praised for its innovative take on Turkish cuisine, featuring flavorful small plates and a delightful weekend brunch. While many appreciate the unique flavors and artistic presentation, some find the portions small for the price and the atmosphere can be noisy when full. Service, though friendly, can be inconsistent, leading to occasional oversights.
"I had a fantastic experience at Gül Restaurant. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the staff was attentive and friendly. The food was excellent, with a diverse surprise menu that allowed us to try a variety of delicious dishes. While the portions weren’t particularly large, we could reorder dishes from the surprise menu as often as we liked—and we happily took advantage of this three times! The only downside was the acoustics; it was quite noisy while the restaurant was full, though it improved as people left. Overall, a great spot for flavorful food and a friendly dining experience!"

"The food was excellent, however, the pricing is a bit high for the portion sizes. If you don't mind smaller portions or ordering a bunch of dishes (which adds up) it is a great place to visit. They also were sold out of some of the things we wanted to order. The staff was very nice, you won't have a dedicated server but they were somehow able to make it work."
Jessica G
"Gül offers a modern twist on Turkish cuisine, focusing on small dishes rather than the usual large mezze platters or grilled meats. The food is excellent—flavorful, well-prepared, and ideal for sampling multiple dishes. Booking ahead is recommended, especially for groups.
Service is friendly but inconsistent; expect occasional oversights like missing cutlery when plates are cleared. The drinks are good, the music adds to the atmosphere, and the restaurant is clean, including the bathrooms. In warmer months, the outdoor seating is a nice option.
A solid choice for a relaxed, tasty meal—just be prepared to ask for forks"

Wer nach einem ganz besonderen Brunch sucht, der wird im neuen Gül Restoran fündig. Das Lokal macht ganz auf türkisch und zeigt, wie divers und raffiniert die anatolische Küche sein kann – nicht nur mittags und abends, sondern eben auch am Sonntagmorgen. Serviert werden kleinen Schälchen, Pfännchen und Tellerchen mit schmackhaften und überraschenden Häppchen – von Käse über Oliven, vakuumierte Erdbeeren und Blätterteiggebäcken bis hin zu Wabenhonig, Rhabarberconfi und türkischer Shakshuka.
Top 11: Frühstück und Brunch in Zürich

Die besten Desserts Zürichs: Von der ersten Dessertbar der Stadt bis in die Quartierbeiz – eine Hommage ans Süsse
Wer sich im Restaurant eine eigene Backstube leistet, muss sie nutzen. Kein Wunder also, kommt im türkischen Restaurant Gül das Dessert frisch aus dem Ofen: Baklava, der süsse Gebäckklassiker aus dem Orient. 24 Schichten Filoteig bilden ein Backkunstwerk, das sich mit einer cremigen Earl-Grey-Glace auf Stickstoffbasis kongenial vereint.

Elif Oskan macht in ihrem Restaurant Gül alles richtig, indem sie das Brot selbst backt und grossartige Zutaten zusammenfügt. Feine Pistazien, Oliven aus Brusa, Gurken, Joghurt und Minze. Klar, dass auch ihr Lahmacun – mit Hackfleisch vom Schaf und Sauerampfer – nichts mit dem Standard-Snack gleichen Namens zu tun hat.
