Parkhuus, Zurich

Situated on the corner of Beethoven-Strasse and Dreikönig-Strasse, ‘parkhuus’ offers a bold and vibrant setting in which to experience Zurich’s finest dining. Just as the quality of the ingredients will surprise the taste-buds, visually the restaurant has an equally strong impact. Set within floor-to-ceiling glass on three sides, its heart is a show kitchen where guests can see the chefs at work, and their food being prepared. Equally visible is the two-storey wine library which houses 3,000 bottles of wine and has its own spiral staircase for access. Private dining for up to 10 people and wine tastings are available in the wine library. This elegant room is set within the wine library and features the ‘Chef’s Table’ underneath the extravagant Ingo Maurer chandelier ‘Porca Miseria!’ A second private dining space offers seating for up to 16 and provides intimate and inviting surroundings for private functions. Signature dishes will include local Free-Range Chicken, Oven-Roast Red Snapper, Lamb Tenderloin and Seasonal Vegetables prepared on the wood-burning oven. All main dishes will be served alone and accompanied by side dishes in the centre of the table for guests to help themselves. The outstanding cuisine of ‘parkhuus’ belies a humble, unpretentious nature which makes the lively and energetic atmosphere of this neighbourhood restaurant easily approachable and provides excellent value for money. Seating for 128 is available inside with an additional 50 places on the terrace.
