Primitivo Sonnendeck Holiday atmosphere on the Limmat

Relaxed sunbathing and casual enjoyment, chilling out and chatting in a cosy atmosphere - this is exactly the summer atmosphere offered by the Primitivo cocktail bar on the banks of the Limmat with its colourful parasols.

Here you sit on benches made of metal wire and garden chairs as well as directly on the concrete steps by the river or on the sun deck, enjoying balmy summer evenings with a delicious cocktail, a glass of homemade lemonade, or of course, fine wines and local beer.

It's also delicious on the plate. Primitivo serves a variety of antipasti, Thai-style dishes such as glass noodle salads with chicken, prawns or vegetarian versions, as well as satay skewers and an aromatic Yellow Thai curry. Of course, a proper BBQ and summer salads are not to be missed, as is the legendary Primitivo Burger. This convinces with its juiciness and is exotically spiced and accompanied by a fresh leaf salad.

Whether for lunch, a quick coffee or a relaxed after-work drink, when the weather is nice, the Klubhaus Primitivo is as relaxing as a short holiday trip. High up on the sun-drenched sun deck, the view of the sometimes sluggish, sometimes faster-flowing river is a delightful setting for a little everyday time-out in the middle of Zurich's summer heat.
