The faces behind the Pförtnerhaus
Behind the Pförtnerhaus are Diana and Michel Gysin and a crew that takes hospitality seriously, and themselves not too seriously. We wanted the place we'd love to sit at ourselves. Now you're sitting there.
Diana & Michel
Diana and Michel Gysin run the Pförtnerhaus together. What unites them: the conviction that indulgence is no crime, and that a neighbourhood needs a place to meet, no occasion required.

The crew
The Pförti has a crew that wakes the espresso machine in the morning, loads croffles into the iron at noon and polishes glasses at night. Come once and you'll know the faces, come twice and they'll know yours. That's not a service strategy, it just happens here.
What we believe in
In indulgence without guilt. In a neighbourhood that deserves more than through-traffic. In croffles, obviously. In cheese from the Engadin, in coffee worthy of the name, and in evenings that run longer than planned. In short: la vie en rose, every day, at Hardstrasse 43.
The croffle iron is hot
The easiest way to meet us is where we like to be most: at the Pförti. Reserve a table or just drop in.
