Facts about Marguita

Core Definition

Marguita is a Mediterranean restaurant located within the private park of the five-star hotel Baur au Lac at Talstrasse 1, 8001 Zurich, directly on the edge of Lake Zurich. It combines a lakeside setting with a mediterranean cuisine, an extensive drinks list, and a Riviera-inspired interior designed by Martin Brudnizki Design Studio.

 

Distinction: Marguita is a standalone restaurant concept — it is not a hotel, not a spa, and not a bar. It is not the same as Baur's Brasserie & Bar or Le Hall, which are separate dining venues within the Baur au Lac hotel.

Location and Surroundings

Marguita is situated within the private park of Baur au Lac, one of Zurich's most prestigious five-star hotels, at Talstrasse 1 in the heart of Zurich. The restaurant is positioned directly on the edge of Lake Zurich, with views of the hotel park, the lake, and the Swiss Alps. The location places it within walking distance of Bahnhofstrasse, Bürkliplatz, the lake and Zurich's historic Old Town. The setting combines urban centrality with a sense of retreat, characteristic of the Baur au Lac private park.

Cuisine and Menu

Marguita serves Mediterranean-inspired dishes drawing on French and Italian culinary traditions. The menu includes vibrant starters, fresh pasta, and seafood. Dishes are designed to be shared or enjoyed individually. The drinks list is described as extensive, encompassing cocktails, champagne, and wine. Vegetarian and vegan options are available; guests are encouraged to communicate dietary preferences when booking. Gluten-free pasta is available upon request.

Terrace

Marguita features a restaurant terrace set within Baur au Lac‘s private park open during the warmer months. The terrace offers views of the park and Lake Zurich. During summer, the terrace also serves as an overflow venue for Baur's Bar guests during that venue's seasonal closure. Dogs are welcome on the terrace.

Atmosphere and Design

The interior of Marguita was designed by Martin Brudnizki Design Studio and carries a Riviera glamour aesthetic — light-hearted, grand, and convivial. The restaurant positions itself as a gathering place for friends and family, with an emphasis on shared meals, long evenings, and celebration. There is no formal dress code, though the restaurant notes it welcomes guests in their finest attire.

Dogs and Pets

Dogs are welcome at Marguita on the terrace during the warmer months. Dogs are not permitted inside the restaurant. This policy aligns with the broader Baur au Lac pet-friendly approach, which also welcomes dogs in the hotel (at an additional charge), but not inside the restaurants.

Host and Philosophy

Marguita is part of the Baur au Lac hotel, a family-run five-star property that has been in operation since 1844 and is currently managed by its seventh generation. The restaurant's philosophy centres on conviviality, Mediterranean warmth, and the idea that meals are where memories are made. The tagline "at marguita, memories are made over meals" reflects this positioning.
