Lunch is served at Parki every Wednesday to Friday from 12–2pm. Every day, we offer two vegetarian menus: one is always a pasta dish — simple, comforting, and affordable. The second menu changes weekly and is usually a bit more refined, while still staying reasonably priced. We always keep vegan and gluten-free options in mind when planning our meals.

You can find the current weekly menu here and on Instagram every Monday. And if you have a Kulturlegi card, you’ll get CHF 3.– off your lunch.

On weekends, we serve a small and cozy breakfast. Join us on Saturdays and Sundays for fresh bread, homemade spreads, pastries, coffee, and changing extras — perfect for a slow start into the day.

From 6pm onwards, we serve dinner every single evening at Parki. Rainy summer nights, cold winter evenings, or sunny afternoons turning into late nights — our kitchen is open every day, not just when the weather is nice. Come by for a warm meal, a drink at the bar, or simply to spend the evening together.

In summer there's fried food to fill your belly and sparkling aperitifs to quench your thirst, and in winter there's soup and warming drinks and sometimes dinner.

You can also borrow boules balls or ping-pong rackets, roll around in the sandpit, water the plants or mop the pitch. Come around!

Tables can be reserved for groups of 8 people or more.

We prefer cash at Parki. Why?

Card and twint payments are increasingly becoming the new normal and there are fewer and fewer places where you can pay with cash.

We find this development problematic. There are people who cannot have a bank account in Switzerland: Asylum seekers, undocumented migrants, people with no fixed abode or those affected by poverty in precarious living situations. These people will be even more excluded from social life as a result of this development.

Restricting cash transactions also means that our payments and therefore our movement profile can be more easily controlled and monitored. With every payment we make, we leave behind electronic footprints that can be used to track our (consumer) behavior.

Not least, with every electronic payment we help a financial service provider to make more profit. Companies such as Twint and Visa want to make cash payments seem inconvenient in order to promote their alternatives. The result: high profits for financial service providers, fewer and fewer opportunities to pay in cash and more and more exclusion of precarious people. We don't want that.
