Managed to sneak in just before they stopped serving lunch- always have to keep your eye on the time as lunch times are much shorter than in North America. Historic guild building is lovely inside. Lunch was served on the top floor in a bright flower filled room with views onto a city square. Pris fixe lunches about $50 Canadian.... More

if you in Zürich and looking for something real special, then you right here. You may choose from exquisite swissfish to international kitchen. Also the view from the window is amazing.

The meal was excellent from start to finish. The service was excellent, the food beautifully presented and perfectly cooked. It is a Michelin standard restaurant and therefore not cheap (but nothing in Zurich is). Unusually for a restaurant of this quality, the portions were generous and certainly not nouvelle cuisine. We would definitely visit this restaurant again.

As it was quite close to the hotel within walking distance, we agreed and the hotel called for a reservation. The Zunfthaus is one of several existing... More

For quintessential Swiss cuisine, impeccable service, and a fine selection of wines, the old guild house "Zunfthaus zur Waag" is always our first choice when visiting Zurich. On Fridays and Saturdays, you likely will have the added local touch of wedding parties in their special events rooms, some with tradional Swiss costumes. This restaurant is convenintly located a short walk... More

This is a very beautiful place to hold a wedding ceremony. The character of such a historical building adds to the ambiance. The staff is very helpful and accommodating.
