Bohemia restaurant



One of the few places in Zurich, that does a good brunch (with pancakes) is the bar/restaurant Bohemia. It is well located , very near the Kunsthaus. It is warm and inviting. A favourite amongst the expats here. Where you can spend a lazy weekend reading the papers over your coffee and breakfast.
And on Saturday nights there is a salsa evening.
