Zunfthaus zur Waag

About

Zunfthaus zur Waag is a historic Zürich restaurant, tracing its roots back to the 14th century. Nestled in the heart of the old town opposite the Fraumünster church, the 1636‑era building offers a cosy, aristocratic ambience that feels like stepping back in time. The dining room on the second floor boasts a sweeping view of the Münsterhof square, while a summer terrace on the street offers an al fresco experience during spring‑to‑autumn. Traditional Zurich classics, such as the renowned „Züri Gschnätzlets“ with butterösti, are complemented by seasonal creations and an extensive wine list sourced from local vineyards. Guests accompany the chef’s menu with a unique touch of Swiss heritage: the recipe behind the house’s oldest pastry still lives on, and the team’s commitment to quality is evident in every plate. Service is friendly and attentive, with a menu that caters to gluten‑free, vegan, and vegetarian diners. With a $39‑minimum spend and a flexible reservation system, the restaurant accommodates private events, corporate functions, and everyday meals alike. Whether you’re enjoying a leisurely brunch from 11:30‑14:00, an elegant dinner from 18:00‑22:00, or a quick summer bite on the terrace, Zunfthaus zur Waag offers a genuine taste of Zürich’s historic culinary tradition.
