About Bar Le Philosophe

Bar Le Philosophe hides in one of the winding lanes of the Old Town, on the Nägelihof close to the Grossmünster. It is a small, classic French-style bar for cocktails, a good glass of wine and étagères of snacks, and its courtyard feels like a town in the south of France. Monday to Friday 17:00–24:00, Saturday and Sunday from 15:00.
