5 brunch rooms in Zurich we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in Zurich | Brunch across every city.
Zurich brunches with a certain weekend formality, somewhere between a hotel breakfast and a leisurely lunch. Haus Hiltl on Sihlstrasse spreads a famous vegetarian buffet, Cafe Spruengli on Bahnhofstrasse keeps it classic and patisserie-led, and Saltz at The Dolder Grand takes the indulgent route up on the hill. For something looser, Restaurant Markthalle sits under the Viadukt arches in Zurich West.
