Dining
Gasthaus Zum Guten Glück operates as a cozy café and restaurant during the day, serving hearty pancakes, wonderful waffles, and a daily changing lunch menu. In the evening, the establishment shifts to a casual bar atmosphere complemented by traditional Barfood from Holland, including Bitterballen and Frikadellen. The venue has an impressive handcrafted bar made of pure tin, created by some of Zurich's finest artists.

“Gasthaus Zum Guten Glueck impressed me as a practical base in Zurich, especially for train travel given its proximity to the station. The shared bathroom setup seems well-maintained, judging by reports of cleanliness, which is a definite plus for budget-conscious stays. I imagine ending the day at the bar downstairs adds to the charm.”
