Embrace the lightness of summer with the delicious creations from our new seasonal menu. Enjoy a sophisticated blend of Italian and French influences alongside traditional cuisine—complemented, as always, by an exceptional selection of vegetarian and vegan dishes.
Our service team delights guests with an extensive range of beverages. A special recommendation for hot summer days is our Arctic Lemon—a refreshing combination of gin, lemon sorbet, and tonic water, also available as a non-alcoholic version. Wonderfully cool and refreshing.
The starter Salmon / Avocado / Caper Dip / Tramezzini is a true work of culinary art—almost too beautiful to eat. To keep you cool during the summer heat, we serve a chilled potato and leek soup, inspired by the classic French Vichyssoise, prepared with our own creative twist.
Our pasta highlights this season include Anelli with summer vegetables, leek sauce, and Pecorino, as well as Ricotta Ravioli with basil, lemon, and broccolini. Another favourite is Tagliarini with salmon cubes, Pastis sauce, and green asparagus—the personal menu recommendation of our marketing colleague, Fiona Trapp.
Meat lovers will appreciate the grilled pork chop, served with pan-fried vegetables, mashed potatoes with olives, and classic Café de Paris butter—the famous herb and spice butter whose original recipe dates back to the Café de Paris in Geneva in the 1930s. Another standout dish is our slow-cooked Wagyu beef from Wemlighausen, accompanied by horseradish sauce, seasonal summer vegetables, and potatoes.
Seafood enthusiasts can choose between salmon or Atlantic wolffish, served with sweet potato and chickpea ragout. Our vegetarian and vegan option features smoked tofu, a protein-rich meat alternative, also paired with sweet potato and chickpea ragout. Returning favourites include the CAPITOL Bowl and our signature Wemlighausen Wagyu Beef Burger.
As the credits roll—a tribute to the cinema heritage of the Neues CAPITOL—treat yourself to Popcorn Ice Cream with marinated strawberries or our chef’s special recommendation: Cheesecake CAPITOL Style, an elegant and creative dessert crafted by the CAPITOL kitchen.
