Very good local food, great wine selection, wonderful service, all pale in comparison to the ambiance. We had a large group and had a private room overlooking the street below at night.

we had a good lunch with swiss cuisine in a nice old place; the service was good and the price was high all in all, a good option, but nothing from another planet

A lunch or dinner at the Zunfthaus zur Waag has become part of our family tradition. We've never been diappointed so far! The host is extremely hospitable and takes care of his guests! Food is delicous and service exquisite!

Maybe we are just jaded, but this is a delightful, cozy restaurant with good food, but we felt a bit "had" as the maitre de was quick to pour somewhat expensive wines, and then when we ordered our 3rd bottle he switched to a different one without telling us. He apologized, but kind of inexcusable for a good restaurant to... More

After visiting the Fraumuenster church building with those ever popular Mark Chagall tainted glass windows, we exit into the the chic Muensterhof square, surounded by hip restaurant, chic shops and small hotels. It was after noon. Hungry, we see upfront the Blue building with the name Restaurant Zunfthaus zur Waag (Muensterhof 8). Following the Cuisine guide book that we got... More

It is always a pleasure to dine at Restaurant Zunfthaus zur Waag. The interior decoration of this lovely guildhall is fantastic. The location is excellent just a view steps from Paradeplatz. The Restaurant is nice and cosy and the stroke of the antique clock reminds you the good old times. Food is outstanding and delicious and offers a large variety... More

The resaurant is set in a very old guildhouse in a pretty square right in the heart of the old town. We were offered the option of taking dinner either inside or outside. The food was high quality traditional Swiss. I enjoyed a typical Zurich dish of veal and calve's kidney in cream with rosti. I cannot agree with a... More

I have been coming here since I was a little kid. For ages we always had the same waitress and chef de service. Its a nice restaurant. Zuerich gschnaetzlets with Roesti is all I ever order and the mouse au chocolat is the best. Be warned this place is not cheap, but i love it there

When in Zurich, then visit the old town with its beautiful scenery. There are also a couple of Restaurants that are well worth visiting. The Zunfthaus zur Waage is only partly recommended. It's a beautiful old house that has history written all over it. The restaurant on the first floor reflects the old charme, by all means. Unfortunately this charme... More
