Roof Garden, French rooftop restaurant with terrace in central Zurich, Switzerland.
Roof Garden is a French restaurant occupying the fifth-floor terrace of the Globus department store, serving Mediterranean-influenced dishes. The outdoor seating area offers views of Zurich's buildings and the surrounding mountain backdrop.
The Globus department store on Bahnhofstrasse has deep roots in Zurich's retail history, and this rooftop restaurant represents a later addition. The terrace shows how traditional shopping buildings have evolved to include dining and leisure spaces.
The name reflects a desire to blend the outdoors with dining, even though the setting sits above a busy shopping district. Guests find themselves eating in open air while surrounded by the city's energy below.
Access is through the department store itself, so plan your visit during regular shopping hours. Visitors driving can use the paid parking facility located within the building.
Despite sitting above a busy shopping district, the rooftop creates a sense of being removed from the commotion below. This contrast between an elevated refuge and the urban center below makes the dining experience feel distinctive.
