Der Wilde Kaiser Beisl 2.0
Zurich
At a glance
Der Wilde Kaiser Beisl 2.0 brings Austrian culinary tradition to Kalanderplatz 6 in Zurich. The restaurant combines the character of a Viennese Beisl with a contemporary approach to Austrian cooking. Its style is rooted in the Viennese Schmäh, a blend of warmth, wit and unmistakable local character, while the food focuses on familiar Austrian pleasures presented in a modern setting.
Wiener Schnitzel stands at the centre of the restaurant’s identity. The venue places particular emphasis on the classic preparation, making it a natural choice for diners looking for a traditional Austrian main course. The wider offering reflects the same direction, with Austrian specialities forming the basis of the menu rather than international crossover dishes.
The restaurant also gives attention to the drinks side of the experience. A dedicated wine culture and coffee culture are part of the venue’s profile, creating space for a full meal, a coffee stop or a drink alongside Austrian food. A Kaiser Lunch adds a daytime dining option, while the Würstelstand brings a more informal take on Austrian street-food tradition.
That mix gives Der Wilde Kaiser Beisl 2.0 several distinct uses. It suits diners seeking a recognisable Viennese classic, guests interested in a contemporary reading of Austrian cuisine and anyone looking for a setting centred on wine, coffee and traditional food culture. The menu’s different formats also allow the restaurant to work for a planned meal or a more casual stop at the sausage stand.
The venue’s presentation is confident in its Austrian identity without limiting the experience to nostalgia. Traditional references remain visible through dishes such as Wiener Schnitzel and the Würstelstand, while the overall concept frames them as part of present-day Austrian dining. The result is a restaurant with a clear culinary point of view and a strong connection to Viennese food culture.
Located at Kalanderplatz 6, the restaurant offers table bookings through its website. Reservations, dietary questions, group arrangements and information about outdoor seating can be clarified with the venue directly before a visit.
