Zurich’s Iconic Lakeside Kiosks Face Imminent Closure Despite Public Outcry
Two beloved food kiosks at Zurich’s Bellevue, Riviera and Bistro & Grill am See, are at risk of shutting down within weeks. Their leases are set to expire, and city officials have ruled out a legal extension. The situation has sparked a wave of public support, with a petition gathering 12,000 signatures to keep them open.
The kiosks operate on city-owned land and require a cantonal concession, but their future is uncertain due to a tangled legal situation. A key issue is the absence of a zoning plan entry, which complicates any long-term solution.
The kiosks’ fate now rests on the outcome of the appeal and mediation attempts. If no agreement is reached, Riviera and Bistro & Grill am See will close as scheduled. The decision will impact both the local community and the workers who depend on them.
