NZZ Bar
Zurich
At a glance
NZZ Bar sits directly at Zurich Hauptbahnhof, making it a practical meeting point for travellers, commuters and anyone looking for a pause close to the city’s main rail connections. The setting combines the pace of a station location with a calm bar and café atmosphere suited to breakfast, daytime breaks, business conversations and an aperitif.
The kitchen follows a light, modern direction. The menu moves from breakfast items and crisp sourdough bread to fresh bowls, beef tartare and carefully prepared desserts. The drinks list includes a selection of wines and signature drinks, giving the bar a natural role across the day, from an early meal to an after-work gathering. Its style is polished but accessible, with food and drinks designed for both short visits and more unhurried meetings.
NZZ Bar also has a clear connection to journalism. NZZ content forms part of the venue’s character, adding a reading-oriented element to the food and drink experience. That combination gives the bar a slightly more considered atmosphere than a purely transit-focused café, while its location keeps it convenient for a quick coffee, a working break or a scheduled rendezvous.
For professional occasions, two meeting rooms are located behind the bar, using the same entrance and sitting on the same floor. They are intended for groups of 10 to 15 people and can accommodate compact meetings, workshops and confidential discussions. Equipment includes a projector, an automatic screen, a flipchart with magnetic board, Wi-Fi and writing materials. Coffee facilities and mineral water are provided in the rooms, making them suitable for sessions that need a self-contained working setup.
The venue suits solo visitors reading between train connections, small groups sharing food and drinks, and businesses seeking a central room for a focused gathering. NZZ Bar’s combination of light cuisine, an aperitif-friendly drinks offer, station access and dedicated meeting space makes it especially useful when convenience and a composed setting need to work together.
