The Weinschenke
Fancy dining and sampling new foods between glasses?
Experience romantic and sociable hours by candlelight in our
medieval vaulted cellar in the heart of the old town of Zurich.
Our guests enjoy more than 100 unique wines accompanied by a small but fine selection of cold dishes
such as our famous beef steak tatare
and our mixed platters with air dried meat and cheese specialties.

Wine
A selection of over 100 fine local and international wines awaits you. Our Weinschenke team will always select a few favourites for you, which you can also enjoy by the glass.
As an accompaniment, we serve small but fine cold dishes:
- Our Weinschenke platters:
- Exquisite regional dried speciality meats
- A variety of hard and soft cheeses depending on market availability
- Mixed platters – a small selection of both meats and cheeses
- Our beef steak tartare, famous throughout Zurich, from mild to devilishly hot
- And to round things off, try one of our deserts, such as our lukewarm chocolate cake: a special treat to go with the last sip of red wine!
Allow yourself to be inspired by our menu.
Looking for an exceptional place for your event?
The Weinschenke is ideal for a cosy get-together in a relaxed atmosphere. Our platters, an apéro riche or Gschwellti (boiled, unpeeled potatoes) with 14 types of cheese accompanied by our selected wines guarantee a wonderful evening!
Next winter too, you can book our mulled wine apéro on the roof terrace for your event. Lit up for Christmas and decorated with ice sculptures
– a very special experience right in the heart of the old town!
