Pay de Rêve – or art in the Kronenhalle.

Hardly any other restaurant in the world is rather more renowned for its exquisite art collection than for its culinary offerings or stylish atmosphere than the world-famous Kronenhalle in Zurich.

On its website, the restaurant, which has become an institution, refers to its former patron Gustav Zumsteg, who, as a “passionate mediator and lender … sent his own paintings to international exhibitions for decades.” From the early 1940s onwards, he repeatedly hung works from his art collection, with a focus on French modern art, in the brasserie and dining rooms of the Kronenhalle. “To this day, you can dine beneath a village scene by Marc Chagall, gaze upon suns and moons by Joan Miró, encounter the southern light of Pierre Bonnard, or marvel at the dynamic skies of Georges Braque.” the website continues.
