The Kronenhalle is Zurich's most legendary restaurant: top bankers, artists, authors, editors-in-chief and celebrities come to the famous brasserie on Bellevueplatz - and mix with (well dressed) ordinary people. Lots of dark wood and original paintings by Mirò and Picasso on the walls give the brasserie its classic yet old-fashioned look - nothing has changed in decades. The food (classics: schnitzel with cucumber salad, bouillon with liver dumplings) is good, pricey, but certainly not as important as the see-and-be-seen. There is a salon for private dinners and a cocktail-bar.
