Restaurant zum Kropf

About

Nestled in the historic heart of Zürich’s city centre, Restaurant zum Kropf offers more than just a meal – it invites guests into a living museum of culinary and architectural traditions. The building at In Gassen 16 dates back to the Middle Ages, and the 19th‑century conversion into a beer‑hall has been meticulously preserved, offering travelers a rare glimpse into baroque interior design, a sparkling marbled column, and the famed “Bärengraben” entrance. Today the restaurant serves classic Zürich‑style and Swiss dishes that have evolved over 120 years, alongside a thoughtfully curated selection of local wines. Whether you’re dining a cosy lunch, tasting the nightly dinners, or enjoying the terrace under the historic roof, you’ll experience the warmth of traditional hospitality blended with a palpable sense of history. The restaurant remains open daily from 11:30 am to 2:00 pm and again from 6:00 pm to 11:00 pm, with kitchen closing at 10:00 pm. Saturday welcomes patrons from 11:30 am to 11:00 pm, offering an all‑day warm kitchen. Guests are encouraged to reserve a table via the online reservation system, especially during peak hours or holidays.
