Capet: New Neo-Bistrot

Eat & Drink

A new neo-bistro called Capet has opened in the trendy District 3 of Zurich. Behind it is the trio from the successful restaurant Silex: restaurant manager Julia von Meiss, head chef George Tomlin, and sommelier Jean-Denis Roger. Their new concept stays true to Silex’s philosophy but is a bit more relaxed and designed to be an everyday spot. The menu changes regularly and is based on the best seasonal ingredients the market has to offer.

Zurich in full bloom

Sightseeing & Activities

Every year during Holy Week, the fountains of Zurich’s Old Town burst into full bloom. From April 12 to 21, the city shows off its most colorful side: thousands of rose heads adorn the fountains, transforming the alleyways into a vibrant sea of flowers. This tradition was initiated in 2021 by the Old town Churches of Zurich as a symbol of hope. Since then, the event has brought Zurich into full bloom every Easter.
