Roof Garden - Piece of Côte d'Azur in Zurich
The Roof Garden on the fifth floor of the renowned Globus department store offers a relaxing break from the hustle and bustle of urban life.
The restaurant impresses with culinary refinements and a roof terrace that allows fascinating views of the vibrant city of Zurich, its skyline and the Uetliberg.
I can’t wait to come back to Roof garden again!
The interior is very stylish and cozy. It also has a terrace, but unfortunately, we didn’t use it, cause it was a bit cold.
The food was amazing, they use an interesting mix of ingredients. Also, there are unique and unusual cocktails. So next time I will definitely check the bar

Vibe
Dinner overlooking the city at Limmat, the Globus culinary center on the Bahnhofstrasse in Zurich, is breathtaking. The fantastic interior, light music, and friendly staff create a unique atmosphere. The place is also very cozy and stylish.
Food
The food was very nice! I loved the French-Mediterranean vibe. In the open kitchen, guests can follow the cooking process live from chef de cuisine Dominik Altorfer (winner of the Swiss Culinary Cup), who’s goal is to bring you on a short holiday in Nice or Cannes.
They use an interesting mix of ingredients and I loved especially sharing ‘The Mese’. Also, there are different kinds of Middle East plates to share, so we took: hummus, aubergines, and falafel. A few plates for 4 people is enough. And we had a starter dish like salad or tartare each. Even without taking the main dish, we were pretty full.
They also have a very good wine selection to complement the food.
Service
They were very attentive to details, explained every dish properly, replied to all our questions, and gave advice. We also had such a great time, that we were staying quite long with our friends and the whole staff was very nice, cause they didn’t disturb us and didn’t even try to hint us to leave. When we were leaving everyone was saying goodbye and wishing all the best.
Prices:
They have plates to share and starters, which are reasonably priced. Among starters, you can find such dishes as beef tartare, salads, soup of the day… And you can easily take them as the main dish, but if you want to go for a main dish like a beef stake or fish, then the price will be quite high.
For drinks and wines, the price is similar to everywhere else in Zurich.
We had shared Mese, large beef tartare, soup of the day, and 2 glasses of red wine. The bill was approximately CHF 100.
Conclusion
It’s a great place for any occasion, if you’re doing your shopping or having meetings in the city it’s a nice place to have lunch or meet with friends or business partners.
As well as it’s a very cool place to spend an evening, dinner, or drink at the terrace or bar after a long working day. So I would be definitely back for different occasions. And I still need to test the terrace and unusual cocktails.
It’s one of the places which combines good and delicious food. As well as a very cozy and stylish environment.
