1. Salz and Zucker

Restaurant, European

Whether you’ve got a big or a small appetite, you’ll find it quenched at Salz and Zucker. Take your pick from a range of breakfast plates and add on a few more if it’s not enough for you. On Sundays an extensive buffet is open for 33CHF with plenty of fresh foods, traditional Swiss options and cakes.

3. La Fourchette

Restaurant, French, European

Indulge yourself at La Fourchette’s ‘decadent’ Sunday brunch buffet that comes complete with a drink of your choice — prosecco, fresh fruit juice or a hot drink. During weekdays this classy joint is a popular breakfast spot that offers a wide range of freshly baked pastries and delicious coffee. Breakfast is served until noon.

4. Nomad Hotel Bar

Bar, Cocktail Bar, Contemporary, Vegetarian

Have your food dished up by a team of ‘urban nomads’ specialising in worldly food at the Nomad Hotel’s Eatery. Served from 11 a.m. to 2.30 p.m., the Sunday brunch offers the opportunity to taste traditional dishes from the world over that have been artfully remixed. Afterwards, you can wash it down with a cocktail at the Eatery’s bar. If that’s not enough, there’s live jazz music as well.

5. Café Frühling

Cafe, Restaurant, Vegetarian, European

Your coffee gets mixed up at Café frühling, which specialises in innovative brews fed by its very own roasting shop right behind the café. The coffee here is definitely the highlight, but the place also serves breakfasts all day long on weekends, so you can make like the Swiss, sit back and have a chilled brunch.
