Clouds

Clouds occupies the upper levels of Prime Tower at Maagplatz, placing dining, drinks and weekend brunch high above the city. The venue combines several formats under one roof, making it suitable for different occasions rather than a single style of visit. Clouds Kitchen provides the fine-dining setting, while the Bistro offers a more relaxed approach to seasonal cooking. The Bar & Smokers Lounge focuses on drinks, atmosphere and cigar culture.

Seasonality, quality and flavour are central to the kitchen’s approach. The food offering ranges from refined dining in Clouds Kitchen to more accessible specialities in the Bistro. Weekend brunch adds another option, with a broad selection that includes brunch classics alongside seafood, sushi and roast beef, as well as individually ordered dishes. The brunch format also includes provisions for children, making it relevant to family outings as well as leisurely weekend meals.

The setting is a defining part of the experience. At around 120 metres above ground, the restaurant looks across Zurich, the lake and the Alps. Large-scale city views shape the atmosphere without replacing the food and hospitality as the main focus. Daytime visits work for brunch or a business lunch, while the evening lends itself to fine dining, cocktails or a drink in the bar.

Each area has a distinct character. Clouds Kitchen is the choice for a more formal gourmet meal, the Bistro suits a less ceremonious meal, and the Bar & Smokers Lounge provides a dedicated setting for drinks and cigars. A separate Privé area is also available for occasions requiring a more exclusive setting. The venue’s gin programme adds another point of interest, with tastings built around selected gins, tonics and drinks prepared at the bar.

Clouds suits diners looking for a meal with a high-rise setting, colleagues arranging a business lunch, couples planning an evening out and families considering a weekend brunch. Its combination of seasonal cuisine, several dining formats and views over the surrounding landscape gives the venue a broad appeal while keeping the atmosphere polished and contemporary.
