The Sprüngli Cafe & Restaurant at Zurich’s Paradeplatz has undergone a makeover, both architecturally and in its menu offerings. Chef Patrick Senn and his team have taken advantage of this time to refresh the menu while still keeping popular classics. The breakfast menu now starts an hour earlier at 7:30 am on the first floor of the Sprüngli building. One highlight is the “Crispy Egg,” a panko-crusted egg with a runny yolk center served with creamy potato mousseline, pureed peas, pickled radishes, and a dollop of salmon roe. For those with a sweet tooth, the “Smashed Croissant” is a delightful option with vanilla cream, berry compote, and caramelized almonds on a flattened croissant, beautifully arranged for a picture-perfect breakfast.
For lunch, the “Apéro-Bites” offer a selection of delicious bites, including Flûtes filled with addictive flavors like beet horseradish, Roquefort with quince, and truffle-madeira. Another standout is the breaded chicken praline with celery cream and poultry jus. The lunch menu also features a classic favorite, Pastetli with Brätkügeli, a homemade pastry filled with veal, pistachios, apricots, and a Port wine aspic. The dish is served with Cumberland sauce and Waldorf salad, adding a perfect balance of flavors.
Vegetarians can enjoy the cauliflower in tempura batter with sesame seeds on a bed of Venere rice with a tamarind mango sauce. Meat lovers can indulge in the Blätterteig-Pastetli with Brätchügeli in a creamy sauce with mushrooms and seasonal vegetables. The lobster roll with homemade brioche is a new addition to the all-day menu, featuring perfectly cooked lobster meat, lime mayo, salmon roe, pea shoots, pickled onions, and Salicorne.
The Sprüngli restaurant offers a modernized dining experience with a view of Paradeplatz. Guests can enjoy the Lobster Roll and other dishes from the all-day menu until 6:30 pm. The Lobster Roll is served with a side of fries, making it a satisfying meal. Whether for a quick snack or a leisurely brunch, the Sprüngli offers a variety of options to cater to different tastes and preferences.
The combination of traditional favorites and innovative new dishes makes dining at the Sprüngli a delightful experience for guests looking to enjoy a delicious meal in a stylish setting. With a focus on quality ingredients and creative presentation, Chef Patrick Senn and his team have successfully elevated the dining experience at the Sprüngli Cafe & Restaurant.
