ABOUT US
BaoBae is a modern Chinese restaurant near Lochergut in Zurich, founded by Chef Dan and May Shu. We serve creative Chinese sharing plates, a seasonal tasting menu, Asian-inspired cocktails and a curated wine selection. Guests can dine indoors, on our courtyard terrace or reserve a separate section for group celebrations.
BaoBae means “treasure” or “darling” in Chinese, a fitting name for our husband-and-wife venture rooted in a shared love of food and hospitality. Drawing on Dan’s extensive experience at restaurants including Michelin Bib Gourmand-recognised Gaijin Izakaya, Old Inn, Tsukasa and Chifa Izakaya, our cuisine celebrates China’s diverse regional flavours through a modern lens. From fiery Sichuan influences to delicate Cantonese notes, each dish reflects Chef Dan’s roots, creativity and personal interpretation of Chinese food.

Discover modern Chinese sharing plates and Asian tapas inspired by regional flavours, traditional street food and Chef Dan’s childhood memories. From our signature peanut noodles to seasonal creations designed for sharing, the menu is bold, playful and distinctly BaoBae.
