Zunfthaus zur Waag

"Zunfthaus Zur Waag is a Zurich institution known for serving traditional Swiss cuisine, including a variety of veal dishes, in a fine dining atmosphere."

"While the menu at Zunfthaus zur Waag is influenced by cuisines around the world, the highlights are the local dishes. Under the leadership of chef Erik Schröter, Zunfthaus zur Waag has become a venue for showcasing Swiss cuisine, especially the Zurich version of kalbsgeschnetzeltes (Zürcher geschnetzeltes), thinly sliced veal in a creamy sauce with tender mushrooms, here served with rösti and optionally calf’s kidneys. The creativity extends to the dessert menu, where you’ll find plum tart with cinnamon ice cream or dumplings with apricots and vanilla sauce." - N.A. Mansour

"Guild Hall Dining with a View of the Münsterhof Zurich’s original 14 guilds were established in Medieval times to represent different crafts- and tradesmen, and their grand, stately buildings that still dot the city are a testament to their one-time power. Fortunately, most are well-preserved and now serve as fine restaurants. Zunfthaus zur Waag, house of the guild of wool and linen weavers, has a Biedermeier-style dining room with lots of wood-paneling, stained glass windows, and a terrific view of the Münsterhof. The dish to order is the Zürcher Geschnetzeltes, the classic Zurich specialty of pan-fried veal with a creamy white-wine sauce."
