The Milchbar is tucked into Kappelergasse, a small side street off the Bahnhofstrasse close to Paradeplatz. Baristas make the coffee in the café-bar, which looks onto an inner courtyard; the delicatessen sells cheese, sausage, bread, pickles and smoked fish to take away, and the restaurant upstairs adds hot dishes and wines. It opens Monday to Friday 6:30–22:00, Saturday 8:00–22:00 and Sunday 10:00–20:00. Its one hotel room goes to the highest bidder.
