About Il Giglio
Il Giglio is worth considering for an easy Zürich dinner when timing and convenience matter more than awards or a clearly published tasting-menu identity. It suits repeat visitors and lower-friction plans, especially later in the evening, but special-occasion diners should compare it with more clearly positioned peers before booking.
Il Giglio is a Zürich restaurant with a verified service window from Tuesday through Saturday: lunch from 11:30 AM to 2:30 PM and dinner from 6:30 PM to 11:30 PM. It is closed on Sunday and Monday. With limited verified public detail beyond hours and smart-casual dress, treat it as a practical booking to evaluate on timing rather than on unverified claims about awards, chef names, signature dishes, cuisine, or price.
A useful second-visit choice when dinner runs late
The case for booking is the schedule. The venue operates for both lunch and dinner from Tuesday through Saturday, with evening hours listed until 11:30 PM. That makes it useful when your plan needs a Zürich restaurant open later in the evening, provided the available reservation time works for your group.
The tradeoff is that there is not enough verified detail here to sell it on a named chef, signature dishes, awards, cuisine type, or a clearly published price tier. That does not make it a weak choice; it changes the decision. Book when timing and a direct Zürich dinner plan matter more than a documented destination credential. For a first serious Zürich dinner, compare it against more clearly positioned options before committing.
Who should choose it, who should cross-shop
Choose Il Giglio for a Tuesday-through-Saturday lunch or dinner plan, a lower-friction return visit, or an evening where the group mainly needs a confirmed Zürich opening window. Skip it if the occasion depends on a known tasting menu, visible accolades, a stated cuisine focus, or a published spend level.
For another Zürich option, Silex is worth comparing before you decide. Gaijin Izakaya is another restaurant to consider if your group is cross-shopping dinner plans.

Silex is the sharper pick for diners who want Creative cooking and are comfortable with a higher €€€ tier; it is the better splurge candidate if the meal needs a stronger point of view.
