Veltlinerkeller

Veltlinerkeller is a traditional restaurant in Zurich with a strong sense of history and a setting built around an old cellar atmosphere. The venue occupies a historic house that has stood for roughly seven centuries, giving its dining rooms a distinctive connection to the city’s past. Inside, the character is cosy and informal, with the sounds of conversation, clinking glasses and shared meals forming part of the experience.

The restaurant’s offering includes lunch and dinner menus, as well as seasonal game specialities. A dedicated wine cellar is central to the venue’s identity, with wines presenting a range of aromas from around the world. The wine list makes the restaurant suitable for occasions where the selection in the glass is as important as the meal on the table.

Several rooms give Veltlinerkeller a flexible layout for different kinds of visits. The main restaurant accommodates up to 40 people, while the La Gatta Stube provides a smaller room for groups of up to 28. The Colani Stube and Segantini Stube are intended for particularly small gatherings, with space for up to 12 or 14 people. These separate rooms preserve the intimate feel of the historic building while allowing groups to dine privately.

The venue caters for a range of hosted occasions, including weddings, business events, Christmas dinners and private celebrations. Lunch bookings suit daytime gatherings, while dinner provides a more relaxed setting for evening meals and social occasions. The atmosphere is traditional without being presented as formal, making the restaurant appropriate for diners seeking a historic interior, a substantial wine selection and a setting with room for conversation.

Veltlinerkeller is best suited to guests who value an established restaurant setting, seasonal specialities and the character of a historic cellar. Reservations are available for individual tables and private rooms, with booking handled directly through the restaurant’s online reservation service, telephone line or email.
