Café & Kleinhotel Weggen

Once a month, my female-colleague organizes a lunch get-together for the ladies on our floor
at work and I always look forward to that day. She knows Zurich very well, actually better than
real "Zürcher" (people originally from Zurich) and she knows so many nice restaurants and cafés!
This time, we went to Café & Kleinhotel Weggen, a small, quaint, cute café located in an alleyway of the old town nearby Limmat river.

When we arrived at around 12:30 there were only 2 ladies sitting at a table who left soon after we arrived.

We were surprised because it was lunch time and all the cafés and restaurants in Zurich are

usually packed but I guess this café is hidden too well and it is a secret place for those who were

lucky to find it...

 

 

 

During lunch time, they serve a bowl of soup (barley with green curry) together with some slices of bread (around CHF 15.00), Bircher Müsli and I think 4 or 5 different set menu with a small salad (CHF 19.00 ~ CHF 24.00). I forgot to take a picture of the lunch menu… but as far as I can remember they had sandwiches, ham-and-cheese-toast, tortellini, steak tartare and Riz Casimir (a yummy Swiss dish with rice and curry with chicken and warm fruits) on it.

The paintings hanging on the walls are all on sale. They are all light-colored and makes the light and bright café with the high ceilings and the big mirrors even friendlier.

 

The lady who served us – I assume the owner of the café and hotel - Mrs Renate Strähle – was very friendly, welcoming and attentive.

If you like a quiet, private and personal café that is not too busy and packed, Weggen is the perfect

place. I haven't seen the hotel rooms (the smallest hotel in Zurich) but I assume they have similar characteristics like the café. :)
