The Wilde Kaiser's Beisl has a room again — Viennese Schmäh, Schnitzel «ohne Wenn und Aber» and a Sissi Bar & Lounge for Austrian gin and late glasses, installed in the old Sihl paper mill at Sihlcity after a long search for a new home.
Der Wilde Kaiser spent months without a Beisl of its own, sending guests to its two sister houses — the Wienzeile at Zähringerplatz and the Wiazhaus in Egg bei Zürich — while it looked for a room. Beisl 2.0 is that room: Kalanderplatz 6, the converted paper mill that also holds the Folium and Papiersaal event halls.
Alongside the restaurant sit the Sissi Bar & Lounge, leaning on Viennese mixology and Austrian gins and spirits, a Schank, and a Würstelstand. The kitchen's line is Austrian cooking brought up to date rather than served as museum pieces, with the Wiener Schnitzel treated as the house test.

From our guides to Zürich
- October's New Openings — and Which Ones You Can Actually Book for an Event
A pop-up brasserie you can take over for 24, a guild-house hall in Bern's old town, a dinner show for the Christmas party, and a Thai canteen in Geneva you can hire on Saturdays — the October openings worth knowing about, and what each one is actually good for.
- September's New Openings — and Which Ones You Can Actually Book for an Event
An event hall built entirely for private hire, a lakeside cocktail bar already taking Christmas dinner enquiries, a rebuilt techno club that doubles as a corporate party room, and a 700-year-old Altstadt house for the client dinner that matters — the September openings worth knowing about, and what each one is actually good for.
