Experts' Choice Award Kronenhalle
What the experts agree on
A century-old Zurich institution famed for original Chagalls, Matisses, and Mirós lining dark wood walls—dining feels like visiting a private gallery. Hearty traditional fare, storied clientele, dress to impress.
“For decades this old-fashioned brasserie of a place has hosted visiting and resident stars and dignitariesone suspects more because of what's on the walls than what's on the plates.”
