As a sixth-generation family business, Sprüngli has combined its pioneering spirit and innovation with professionalism and tradition for almost 190 years, and it continues to evolve. Its aim is to always provide customers and guests with the highest level of quality and excellent service. It is with this in mind that the traditional Café&Restaurant in the Sprüngli House on Paradeplatz will undergo a full renovation and completely renew its infrastructure over the coming months. In addition to the physical space, the menu will also be given a makeover – with a particular focus on a culinarily diverse lunch menu. Besides the new, refined creations, the popular Sprüngli classics will naturally be given a place of honour on the menu.

When David Sprüngli and his son Rudolf bought land in 1859, on what is now the Paradeplatz and which used to be called the Neumarkt, no one could have known that just a few decades later, a trade and business centre would emerge on what would soon become the city’s most important shopping street. When the building was renovated in the Jugendstil design style in 1909/10, the Sprüngli House took on its current form. The Café&Restaurant, in the style of a Viennese coffee house, became a popular meeting place for locals and tourists, including professionals and famous celebrities, and the Sprüngli House became one of the city’s landmarks with worldwide appeal. It has continued to make a significant contribution to the attractiveness of the Bahnhofstrasse and Paradeplatz right up until today. The last fundamental renovations to the Sprüngli House took place in 1930/31. Thanks to its solid construction and timeless architecture, no significant changes – besides a few gentle updates and maintenance work – have been required over the decades since. With the upcoming renovations, Sprüngli aims to lay the foundations for the next chapter in the tradition-rich history of the Sprüngli House.
