Zürich's new katsu specialist at the Kalkbreite — hand-breaded, extra-crispy cutlets served Japanese style.
Katsuya celebrates katsu — Japan's crispier, juicier answer to the schnitzel — with a perfect crust that's real craft, not chance. Everything is hand-breaded in-house with fresh panko.
Katsuya opened at the Kalkbreite on 22 August 2026. Walk-ins are welcome at any time, and the kitchen closes 30 minutes before the restaurant does.
Katsuya comes from the Daiba Group, Sophie and Chris's Zürich company behind Sappo ramen, Sansan onigiri and a gyoza counter in the Viadukt. Tables can be booked online through the restaurant's site.

From our guides to Zürich
- October's New Openings — and Which Ones You Can Actually Book for an Event
A pop-up brasserie you can take over for 24, a guild-house hall in Bern's old town, a dinner show for the Christmas party, and a Thai canteen in Geneva you can hire on Saturdays — the October openings worth knowing about, and what each one is actually good for.
- September's New Openings — and Which Ones You Can Actually Book for an Event
An event hall built entirely for private hire, a lakeside cocktail bar already taking Christmas dinner enquiries, a rebuilt techno club that doubles as a corporate party room, and a 700-year-old Altstadt house for the client dinner that matters — the September openings worth knowing about, and what each one is actually good for.
