Most beautiful terraces in Zurich

Eating in the countryside

Beautiful restaurant terraces in Zurich have become rare. The cityscape is increasingly characterized by narrow rows of tables at the side of the street or in passages, while the greenery disappears and there is no view of the outdoors. Especially in a lively city like Zurich, we long for a place where we can sit outside, eat well and enjoy the day in peace - on a terrace that offers more than just a few chairs on the sidewalk and humming traffic as background music.

Restaurant Blaue Ente

The restaurant Blaue Ente offers outstanding dishes not only at lunchtime but also in the evening - in a stylish ambience. Owner Alex Hannemann has long since made a name for himself among wine connoisseurs and his wine cellar has been highly praised in various specialist magazines.

It is a harmonious interplay of ambience, white parasols, the best food and the perfect wine accompaniment. The terrace is surrounded by greenery and there is also a shady spot under the trees. The blue table set immediately puts you in a vacation mood.

Even those who have treated themselves to a shady spot under an umbrella are surrounded by greenery - be it flowers or a young, growing apple tree.

And if you're lucky, you might even get a seat with a view of the lake - the blue of Lake Zurich shimmers through the entrance to the Kulturareal, creating a little bit of a seaside feeling in the middle of the city.
