Winterthur · Old Town
Warm. Honest. Obergass.
Hearty Swiss classics in the heart of Winterthur's old town. For generations, a place to arrive, linger and return.
Welcome
“Between old stone walls and a seasonal kitchen — a piece of Winterthur, the way it has always been.”
On Schulgasse 1, in the heart of Winterthur's old town, stands a house where generations before us have eaten, laughed and clinked glasses. The Obergass is a true Swiss tavern: grown over time, well kept, honest.
Inside, a warm dining room awaits you, in front of it our pavement café right in the middle of the old town — and on the first floor, our quiet terrace above the lane. We look forward to having you.
