The Nest

The Nest is the rooftop bar of Storchen Zürich, set above the city with views towards Zurich, the Limmat and Lake Zurich. Its character is shaped by the elevated setting, open outlook and a relaxed atmosphere suited to drinks, daytime dining and leisurely occasions.

The offering centres on cocktails and culinary dishes rather than a single defined cuisine. The bar works as a place for a drink with a view, while lunch provides a more substantial daytime option. A smart casual dress code gives the setting a polished feel without making it formal.

During the day, the rooftop position creates a broad city panorama. On clear views from the venue, Zurich’s church towers and the course of the Limmat form part of the scene, with Lake Zurich extending beyond the city. The setting also reaches towards the Glarus Alps, particularly during the venue’s Sunday breakfast event. The combination of skyline, water and distant mountains gives The Nest a distinct sense of place.

The bar also hosts Lazy Sunday, a breakfast occasion held twice each month. It combines an extensive breakfast with a glass of champagne and the panoramic rooftop setting, making it appropriate for a slow start to Sunday rather than a quick morning meal. The event suits pairs, small groups and anyone looking for a more leisurely breakfast experience above the rooftops.

The Nest’s rooftop setting makes weather and temperature relevant to a visit, and operating arrangements can change accordingly. Lunch table bookings are available during the week, while evening tables are handled on a first-come, first-served basis. That distinction makes the daytime service easier to plan, while evenings retain a more spontaneous bar atmosphere.

Located at Weinplatz 2, The Nest is a suitable choice for cocktails, lunch, a panoramic drink or a Sunday breakfast event. It appeals to visitors seeking an elevated setting, relaxed service and a view-led experience, with enough culinary choice for more than a simple stop for refreshments.
