Roof Garden

Roof Garden is a restaurant and bar on the uppermost floor of the Globus department store at Bahnhofstrasse. Its elevated position gives the dining room and rooftop terrace a broad outlook across the city, with views towards the Uetliberg and the Limmat area. The setting combines the polished atmosphere of a fashion-focused department store with a relaxed rooftop address, making it suitable for a meal, a drink or an unhurried pause above the busy streets of Zurich.

The kitchen follows a French-Mediterranean direction, with dishes presented as light, refined fare rather than heavy restaurant cooking. The menu changes across the day, with separate offerings for lunch, the afternoon and dinner. Seasonal ingredients feature in the selection, including freshly prepared vegetable-based options, while tartare is another part of the restaurant’s culinary identity. The overall style is urbane and accessible, with enough range for a daytime meal as well as a more leisurely evening.

The bar adds a curated wine selection and a menu of elegant drinks and cocktails. It works equally well as a destination before dinner or as a place to settle in for an evening on the terrace. As daylight fades, the rooftop position brings changing views over the city, while the interior provides a more sheltered setting for dining and drinks. The atmosphere is contemporary and fashion-conscious without losing the ease of a casual rooftop stop.

Roof Garden suits diners looking for French-influenced cooking in a central retail setting, as well as guests seeking an afternoon drink or an evening table with an open outlook. The terrace is particularly suited to mild-weather visits, while the restaurant and bar remain useful when the weather calls for an indoor setting. Its location also makes it practical for combining a meal with time around Bahnhofstrasse and the nearby city centre.

Lunch, afternoon service and dinner give the venue a flexible rhythm throughout the day. Evening guests can still enter after the department store has closed, using the side entrance at Löwenstrasse and Schweizergasse. Reservations can be made online, and the venue also handles enquiries for occasions. Public transport is the simplest way to reach the area, with Löwenplatz and Zürich Hauptbahnhof named as nearby arrival points. Drivers can use the paid Globus car park.
