The Kronenhalle Dining and Wining with Chagall & Co. in Zurich, Switzerland By Pascal Najadi How could I best describe the „Kronenhalle“ without being lost in superlatives? Without using the words “exclusive”, “unique” and “fantastic” in an inflationary way? This is a truly difficult task. The long history of this house is out of the norm and packed with memories...

Relaxed and yet very upmarket at the same time. Attentive service, gorgeous food, and do not leave without a) looking at all the Chagall paintings on the wall or b) eating the chocolate mousse :)

My wife and I were warmly welcomed. She ordered grilled giant prawns - pricy at.58CHF but tasted fantastic. I had veal sausage with rosti - very nicely done too but not outstanding. The waitress told us some of the history of the place and gave us a little booklet with the details. That was a very nice touch and enhanced... More

Kronenhalle is so famous everyone who comes to visit wants to go there. My husband liked it but my experience from 10 years ago was not great so I have not returned there since. Recently a visiting American friend mentioned he was interested in going there so we did. It was a disaster! The restaurant has a very nice ambiance... More

This restaurant is located close to the lake front and in the same building for over 150 years. It has certainly been restored outside and inside but the interior is in an early 20th century style. I suspect the English might compare it to one of their cosy Clubs reserved for the upper class. The restaurant room is composed of... More

We have been here several times and always love it to come back again. The food is excellent with a fair variety. The atmosphere is always nice. We tried all the asparagus dishes , and if you love it -- this is your place

We enjoyed eating at this restaurant for the historic feeling, with the original art on the walls, but not so much for the food. The menu includes a personalized "mini-painting" by Chagall and the uniformed, Italian waiters are clearly professionals. The restaurant is expensive, even for Zürich (a pricey city anyway) and the food was fine, but certainly nothing special.... More

Definitely a must see/do in Zurich. If you don't want to pay the stiff dinner tab, have a drink in the bar for the "artrageous" experience

This is a famous old restaurant serving good classic Swiss German food at steep prices. Very nice setting, with beautiful decor. But as the Fodors guide warned us, if you arent anybody, be prepared to be seated upstairs. And that's waht happened to us. The restaurant was almost entirely empty on the first floor, but we were escorted to the... More
