The building, dating back to the medieval period, has been lovingly restored and now serves as a charming restaurant that blends classic Swiss cuisine with a cosmopolitan flair. Diners can savor the iconic "Züri Geschnetzeltes" in elegant, historic rooms or step out onto the airy terrace that overlooks the river and the Fraumünster Cathedral. The highlight of the dining experience is the year‑round open‑air fondue, served under the historic arcades – an indulgence that marries tradition and ambience. Whether you’re looking for a leisurely lunch, a romantic dinner, or a festive gathering in one of the well‑delimited banquet halls, the Zunfthaus offers impeccable service, a varied menu featuring Swiss and local specialties, and a setting that transports you to another era while still feeling contemporary. The restaurant’s menu showcases elevated Swiss fare, including hearty dishes such as Zürcher Geschnetzeltes, and a refined selection of wines and craft beers on offer. The open dining spaces, from the cosy “Küferstube” to the broader terrace, provide striking views of the Limmat and the city’s iconic skyline. For those planning events, the venue offers modular banquet rooms that accommodate from intimate gatherings of 40 to larger feasts of up to 200 guests, all enhanced by a historic ambience and modern amenities.
