Confiserie Honold
On the Rennweg since 1905
About Confiserie Honold
Confiserie Honold has made pralines and pastries on the Rennweg since 1905 and is run by the fourth generation; its classics include Pain de Gênes, an almond sponge to a family recipe. While its house at Rennweg 53 is completely renovated, it sells its specialities from a small temporary shop, “Le Pavillon”, by the Hercules Fountain at the corner of the Rennweg; Zurich Tourism expects the renovation to be finished in the second quarter of 2027.
