Rooftop, Rooftop restaurant in Limmatquai, Zurich, Switzerland
Rooftop is a restaurant with a roof terrace in the Limmatquai area, sitting on the upper level of a building with views toward the lake and city skyline. The space provides outdoor seating and can be adjusted depending on the season.
The building originally served as a water pumping station in central Zurich before undergoing extensive renovation. Following this transformation, the restaurant with its roof terrace was established there.
The restaurant blends Swiss cooking traditions with contemporary European approaches, reflecting the cosmopolitan character of modern Zurich. Visitors experience this mix in both the cooking style and the dishes served.
Access to the roof terrace is straightforward since the restaurant sits on a single level and is reachable from the ground floor. Opening hours vary by day and season, with extended times typical on weekends.
The restaurant features a retractable glass sliding roof that covers the terrace during poor weather. This allows diners to sit under open sky or protected, depending on conditions throughout the year.
