Kronenhalle has been the cornerstone heritage restaurant of Zurich since 1924. The gorgeous building, local specialties and tuxedoed service are a tribute to a bygone era where actors, painters and poets gathered for decades. The art is museum quality with quirky local examples as well as Braque, Chagall, Giacometti and Miro. First-timers should order the liver dumpling soup, house special veal in mushroom sauce with rosti potatoes (pictured) and the luscious chocolate mousse with freshly made double cream sauce.
