About the job

Life tastes better by the lake. LUX, with its location directly on Lake Zurich, invites you to take a short break from urban everyday life. Savoir vivre is paramount: enjoyment and joie de vivre are reflected in the spectacular view from our terrace, the high-quality fish cuisine, and warm hospitality. A place that effortlessly and fluidly adapts to the times of day and various occasions – from a relaxed Saturday brunch to (business) lunch, to a stylish aperitif and elegant dinner before the concert. Our menu, characterised by high-quality, seasonal products, offers dishes for fish lovers, classic meat dishes as well as vegetarian and vegan creations – prepared with care and attention to detail. Founded in 1985, Kongresshaus Zürich AG operates and markets the Kongresshaus Zürich as well as the LUX Restaurant & Bar and offers first-class gastronomy throughout the entire building complex including the Tonhalle Zürich.

Zurich eats here!
