We are venturing into new territory: lunch at Parki, with a weekly brunch buffet starting in October. We also have exciting kitchen takeovers and other culinary surprises planned.

We serve lunch on Thursdays and Fridays between 12 noon and 2 p.m. It is always vegetarian, and we also take vegans and gluten-intolerant people into account when planning the menu. You can always find the current menu here and on Instagram every Monday. One menu is simple and inexpensive, the other a little more sophisticated but still not expensive. Bring your Kulturlegi and benefit from a 3.- discount.

You can find the current menu here.

Every Saturday between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m., there is now a decadent brunch buffet at Parki. For only 25.-, you can feast to your heart's content. There are (tofu) scrambled eggs, various homemade spreads, fresh bread, pastries, fruit and a variety of hot dishes. If there are any leftovers, they will be served on Sunday at the Leftover Brunch from 11 a.m., with prices varying depending on what is on offer.

LUNCH MENU 2.10/3.10

Blumenkohl-Frischkäse Pasta mit Zitronen und Salbei v/v+ 15.-

Artischoken aus dem Ofen auf Polentaschnitte an Vinaigrette v&gf 19.-

Saisonale Suppe/Salat 5.-/11.-

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.

PS: Thanks Totalbar for the inspiration.
