Zurich's most beloved grand brasserie since 1924 — original Picasso, Miró, and Matisse on the walls, impeccable Wiener Schnitzel, and the most beautiful restaurant interior in the city.
Why It Belongs on the List
Kronenhalle has been at the center of Zurich's social and artistic life since 1924. The walls are hung with original works by Picasso, Miró, Matisse, Chagall, and Bonnard — gifts and payments from artists who ate here regularly. The cooking is grand brasserie: Wiener Schnitzel, Dover Sole, and classic Swiss dishes executed with serious technical skill. The bar is legendary for its late-night atmosphere. One of the great restaurants of Central Europe.
