Gasthaus Zum Guten Glück

Gasthaus Zum Guten Glück combines a café, lunch restaurant and bar in Wiedikon, Zurich. Set on Stationsstrasse in a former transit corridor that now feels quieter and residential, the venue has a relaxed, neighbourhood character. It works across the day, from morning coffee and lunch through to drinks and Dutch snacks later on.

The food draws on Dutch comfort cooking while keeping the daytime offer broad. Hearty pancakes, waffles and changing midday menus are served alongside drinks. Later in the day, the menu turns towards familiar Dutch bar food, including bitterballen, patat and frikadellen. Vegetarian versions are also part of the selection, giving the snack menu an option beyond meat-based classics.

The bar is defined by a substantial tin counter made through Zurich craftsmanship. It provides a distinctive centre to the room and suits the venue’s informal café and bar style. Beer and wine are available with the evening snacks, while the overall setting remains straightforward and sociable rather than formal.

Zum Guten Glück also includes a small pension with nine rooms. The rooms are simply but stylishly furnished, with each one given an individual character. They provide an option for short trips and for guests who want to stay close to the café, restaurant and bar. The accommodation adds a practical residential element to a venue otherwise focused on food, drinks and neighbourhood hospitality.

The venue suits several types of visit. It can serve as a casual daytime stop for coffee, pancakes or lunch, a place for a relaxed meal, or a bar for Dutch snacks and drinks. Vegetarian diners have dedicated choices, while the changing midday menu gives regular visitors some variation. The combination of daytime café service, informal dining, evening snacks and pension rooms makes Gasthaus Zum Guten Glück a versatile Wiedikon address without a formal restaurant feel.
