Lena Blos

Previously serving as an industrial site, Zürich’s Kreis 5 is now one of the trendiest places in the city. Along with stylish galleries, bars and restaurants it has developed an increasingly vibrant brunch scene and visitors from near and far are constantly looking to get a taste of the freshly baked treats and steaming coffees. We have whiled away the morning hours in the hip Kreis 5 in search of the best breakfasts.

Maison Blunt is situated in a converted garage and now attracts visitors from Kreis 5 and beyond with its Moroccan specialities. The restaurant is divided between a cosy tearoom in which you can relax in low chairs and sofas, and a dinning room, reserved for lunch and dinner. On a Sunday the oriental venue serves a scrumptious brunch. Expect to find the young and trendy crowd of Zürich tucking into the Middle Eastern influenced dishes which range from couscous salads to falafels, hummus and halloumi. Maison Blunt is the ideal spot for a somewhat less traditional Sunday brunch and the mezze-plates and fresh mint teas will transport you to a different place.
