The self-service restaurant and associated section of the terrace with its very own fireplace offer a quick and easy experience. The generous sun terrace is located directly on the Aare. There’s no better place to relax with an aperitif, an after-work drink, or a small snack than under the impressive and shady chestnut trees, and the integrated play corner makes it perfect for families as well. Insider tip: if you’re lucky, you can watch the playful Dählhölzli racoons get into all kinds of trouble just a few steps away from the restaurant.

Every Sunday from September to December, for CHF 49, the Restaurant at the Dählhölzli Animal Park serves an all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet packed with Swiss classics: the mandatory Bernese «Züpfe» (plaited loaf), meat and cheese platters, Birchermüsli, fruit salad and cereal and other gourmet treats, including hot dishes such as scrambled eggs, bacon, rösti and roast of veal shoulder with jus.

Be it for a family celebration, a company event, or a meeting: the Dählhölzli is a great, unique venue for banquets, conferences, and gatherings of all kinds.
