Re: Best Outdoor Bar /Cafe in Zürich

I knew you would come through with a few suggestions. The Grieder store has an elegant range though its clientele are not preferred company...there must be quiet a few rooftop terraces with undiscovered bars in the area though...

Ill certainly check out the bar near the Zoo for more suitable company. I was up at the Dolder last week. Its still a mess. God know what they are doing adding such monstrosities to an elegant building.

Oh, on a slightly different topic there is a book out called Cool Restaurants Zürich or something, which is a pretty book but contains little hardcore facts...

The Grieder store on the Bahnhofstrasse / Paradeplatz has a nice cafe terrace on the top floor where you can pick up middle aged+ women, no sweat. Wouldn't buy the clothes there, though. Is this what you were looking for?

The Hotel Züriberg, up near the Zoo, has a great terrace with city and mountain views.

Soon enough the Dolder Hotel will reopen (designed by M'Lord Foster, zzz) and they're sure to have something whizz-bang.

My favourite is the cafe El Greco at Limmatplatz, next to the Migros building. Sun, sandwiches and easy views. Champion.

If you like the Pump House (I don't), walk a little further to the Züri Horn and try the Kiosk - you'll know it, it's multi-coloured and next to a Henry Moore sculpture. Great place for morning coffee in the sun.

The Gran Caffe on Limmatquai is kinda old-fashioned but nice location.

For the price of a coffee and Schoggi-Gipfeli, I'd be happy to show you the sights!
