I absolutely adore this butcher. Whether you are planning a barbecue, are having guest to cook them…read morefancy dinner or just some friends that come over too often and you don't want to spend too much $$$ on them no matter what your purpose that sent you on a mission to enter a butcher shop you will be help here with an open heart. Sometimes I have no clue what I want to cook then I pick not so busy hours meaning not lunch or just when they're about to close so when they have enough time they gladly suggest you what you could cook. From all types of meat they also sell cold cuts and cheese plus small things for your Apéro, and even fresh fish. You can also find that Swiss small bread Bürli which I highly recommend. They also have a fantastic corner for ready to eat food warm and cold. If you feel hungry don't think twice and go there they always have a fantastic menus. They have some traditional things which they always have like burgers and sausages but then the menus always change on a daily basis. For a barbecue at home I'm a big fan of the tomahawk and the porkchops especially if they are from the Alps. They have their own fridge where they dry age the meat themselves. Also not to miss are their own sausages which you can throw on your barbecue there are the Italian sausage Lughanige *big high five* so good when bbqed, and their homemade pork sausage. From the things to go I absolutely love the red fatty sausage Schüblig. It is super filling so I can't have it every day :( Also their hamburger is good and compared to Zurich prices a little steal. The best thing I saved for a the end: I was having my whole family coming over for Christmas dinner and I wasn't sure if that them Turkey would fit in my oven. When I told this they didn't hesitate and told me that they would prepare the turkey for me and then I could just come and pick it up. Being a host I didn't want them to prepare the turkey so then they suggested I could pick up the cold turkey, stuff it and prepare it myself and then just bring it for the baking time and then pick it up again. They were even so kind to give me a pro box where food remains warm four hours. I think this is the best way you can satisfy your customers especially if they are a little bit difficult and picky like me :)) high-five to that special butcher team and of course five star review. (On a side note please support this business as it is a family business with the tradition and Zurich has small businesses disappearing more and more. I always thought they must make a ton of money to be able to pay the rent at this location but then I got to know that the property is owned by the city and this is how they can survive in the middle of the old town)

Great place to pick up some fennel, strawberries, Bündnerfleisch, or Alpkäse. The bread is quite good --- close to Steiner, and better than most dedicated bakeries. There's a hot-food counter as well, if you need a pick-me-up on a cool day. One caution: between about 12:00 and 14:00 during the week, the place is mobbed with local high schoolers, and some college kids; be prepared to throw some elbows to get to the produce scale or cash register.

I've had the opportunity / challenge to have lived in different places all over the world and one…read moreof the things I always try to seek near or further away is a good butcher. I am a meat lover and I do think there is a huge difference in quality of meat and I have learned over the years that a good artisanal butcher is typically much better than what you get from a supermarket. I am sad to see that not more people realize this and slowly butchers are disappearing one by one. Metzgerei Keller (appearently Metzgerei means butcher in German) is one of these rare gems. I first came in contact with their Wiederkli sausages on a food truck market and noticed that this was a super delicious sausage so I was curious where it was from. Obviously the name should have told me that this is indeed from Wiedikon, where I live so I went to see the shop. Even though my German is quite limited, the staff in the shop was super friendly in helping me with finding the exact right cut of meat I was looking for and giving me information about their very extensive sausage offering (do try their fennel Wiederkli sausage, it is delicious!) But most importantly, their meat is of amazing quality, I've been now quite a few times and everytime I am surprised on how right they get it. Their meat is at a similar level as the supermarket but oh boy, it is so much better. Compared to the butcher counter at Globus or other delicatessen shops, this is more economical and much better. Highly recommended!
