Old Inn

Old Inn is a contemporary pub and restaurant set inside Zurich’s distinctive Chachelihuus, a building known for its Jugendstil architecture. The setting gives the venue a strong sense of place, while the food takes a modern approach to familiar flavours. The result is a dining style that feels creative and playful without losing the comfort associated with a relaxed pub and restaurant.

The menu is built around sharing. Plates are intended to move around the table, allowing diners to explore different combinations and discover several flavours during one meal. Chef-led cooking gives recognisable ideas an unexpected turn, with an emphasis on creativity rather than rigid formality. The format suits social meals where conversation and shared plates are part of the experience.

Old Inn’s atmosphere balances an informal restaurant character with the easy sociability of a pub. The venue is suitable for diners looking for food with a little more imagination than standard pub fare, while still offering an approachable setting for an unhurried meal. The sharing format also gives groups flexibility in how they order and enjoy the menu.

The bar follows the same considered approach as the kitchen. Wines, craft beers and cocktails are available, giving the drinks list enough range for different styles of dining, from a meal centred on shared plates to a more casual drink at the bar. The overall character is thoughtful but not ceremonious, with contemporary cooking, a relaxed setting and a menu designed to be explored together.

Old Inn is located at Bleicherweg 47 in 8002 Zürich, within the Chachelihuus. It works well for diners seeking a sociable restaurant experience, creative interpretations of familiar flavours and a setting that combines historic architectural character with a current culinary style.
