It's the highest building in Zurich. Beautiful view especially by night, good also during the day. Just make sure you don't check in your coats. The entrance is in the back of the building. The Bistro does not require reservation. Don't go to the bar, it has no view! Bistro also has nice meals.

It's probably the best restaurant in Zurich considering the price, location, aesthetics, and workers. If you go there between 4pm-5pm, Mon-Friday, you get a super discount on the food from the buffet!
