So close and so good! If you ask us, this is the best Take Away ever. You can order "pinsas" (very recommendable, our evergreen is the "Nerone"), focaccias, small salads or home-made tiramisù!

Drinks & Nightlife
Volta Bräu
30 VoltastrasseA trendy brewery in walking distance.
In summer, stroll along the river and buy a drink at a so-called "Buvette". My favourite is the Oetlinger-Buvette (near the Johanniterbrücke), there you can even grill your own sausages.
