About Masoala

The Masoala restaurant in Zurich Zoo is a unique place offering its guests an open self-service concept. Here, visitors can enjoy traditional and exotic dishes while taking in a fantastic view of the Masoala rainforest. The restaurant is open from March to October until 6 p.m. and in the winter months until 5 p.m. From 10 a.m., guests can look forward to a varied cold buffet with a selection of fresh salads, sandwiches, desserts, and various baked goods. From 11 a.m., hot dishes are added. Attention is paid both to regional ingredients and to high quality - all meat products come from Switzerland. Among the specialties is the Masoala curry, which transports guests into an exotic world of flavor.

Especially recommended are the dishes from the wok kitchen and the various burger variations, served punctually at lunchtime. For children there are special menus that are not only delicious but also healthy. The salad buffet also offers the opportunity to create your own combination of fresh ingredients. The prices at the restaurant are moderate and reflect the quality of the dishes. In addition to the extensive selection of food, guests can look forward to a wide range of drinks, from refreshing organic soft drinks to high-quality coffee and tea.

The Masoala restaurant is not only a place to eat but also an experience. It is the ideal spot for families, animal lovers, and anyone who wants to spend a relaxed day at the zoo. Access to the restaurant, however, is only possible with a valid zoo ticket, which makes a spontaneous visit not only a culinary but also an unforgettable experience. The Mora-Mora Bar, likewise situated in the rainforest area, additionally invites you to enjoy delicious drinks in a special atmosphere. Birthday parties and group offers round out the offering and make the Masoala restaurant a special destination in Zurich Zoo.
