"Mediterranean Cuisine" Restaurants in Switzerland
Right on the lake, Olivo serves Mediterranean cuisine with an Italian accent. Fish, pasta and antipasti become little holiday moments with a view of the water and mountains. An extensive wine list rounds off the experience - Lucerne can feel very southern here.
The lake view is just the beginning. Chef Fragnito, born into a family of restaurateurs, reinterprets Italy: classics meet cosmopolitan accents. Contemporary, unpretentious cuisine with depth. The wine list impresses with an excellent selection.
In this beautiful restaurant in the centre of Bellinzona, head chef Lorenzo Albrici creates perfectly crafted gourmet cuisine that perfectly combines international elements with the traditions of Ticino cuisine. The huge selection of wines by the glass is superb.
The Ackermannshof combines historical architecture with award-winning cuisine. The dishes are well thought out and creatively composed without being overloaded. The quiet inner courtyard and the carefully designed restaurant create a fitting setting.
Given the name, the view is, of course, a real treat - you have the lake and mountains in your field of vision. However, Diego Della Schiava's cuisine can hold its own both visually and in terms of flavour. His elegant creations mix Mediterranean, Asian and local flavours.

Werner Tobler only uses fresh produce from selected suppliers in his kitchen. He doesn't let anything dictate his cooking, except the season. His down-to-earth cuisine is somewhere between the Alpine region and the Mediterranean - the main thing is that it tastes good.
At Gambrinus, homemade pasta dreams - such as wafer-thin oxtail ravioli or fillet steak - transform classic cuisine into a flavourful experience. In the parlour or on the terrace under the awning, every course simply tastes like a holiday.
Le 3C restaurant creates a holiday atmosphere. This is partly due to the fantastic view over Lake Geneva and partly due to the modern interpretation of international and Mediterranean dishes, which are perfectly prepared with great attention to detail.

Klingler's in Lucerne is a classic upscale Italian restaurant that places great value on quality. At the weekend, sushi is added to the menu - a bold second signature that brings variety without contradicting the philosophy of the establishment.
All the dishes for which we love the south so much are perfectly prepared at Marguita. Fritto misto and bouillabaisse are just as popular as the pasta. A touch of the sea and dolce vita right on Lake Zurich. Very fairly priced wine selection.
Casa Ferlin - that's tried and tested Italian comfort. City-famous, excellent home-made ravioli, veal fillet refined with citrus and meltingly heavenly chocolate mousse. Elegance and reliability characterise this family kitchen with tradition.
Just outside the city centre, Da Angela conjures up authentic Italian cuisine with great attention to detail and good produce. Guests are warmly welcomed both inside the beautiful restaurant and on the marvellous terrace.
With its yellow sandstone façade, the former brewery would actually fit perfectly into the cityscape of Neuchâtel. However, the "Maison du Prussien" is located a little out of town. Chef Jean-Yves Drevet welcomes his guests personally. The glassed-in conservatory with its view of autumn-colored trees quickly creates a cozy atmosphere. A delicate bricelet with rosemary is served with the champagne, accompanied by a delicious cheese mousse. The tomato and basil jelly tastes good, but we are less impressed by the consistency. The seven-course menu picks up noticeably from the first plate onwards. The cheese soufflé with mushroom jus and crispy cracker is a surprisingly large amuse-bouche. This is followed by a playful combination of langoustine and peach in different variations: as a jelly, marinated, as a sauce and cracker. The vegetable course that follows impresses with crunchy beans and tomato and basil ice cream on a cracker with confit onions. The sous-vide-cooked salmon with carrots and eggplant seems unusual at first, but is harmonious on the palate - especially thanks to the lime cream, which the waiter tells you to taste at the end. The smoked veal is perfectly cooked, while the artfully folded courgette cube is more of a visual gimmick. A charming interlude: moitié-moitié fondue as a mousse in a mini caquelon, served with a cherry jelly pearl on a spoon - a matter of taste. The dessert, on the other hand, is a hit: melon in the form of cheesecake and mousse. A chocolate cookie on a toothpick, espresso and amaretto round off the evening. Au revoir, "Maison du Prussien"!
At Cavigilli, a Graubünden jewel dating back to the 15th century, history meets gastronomic poetry. Seasonal creations put regional products centre stage. Whether on the idyllic garden terrace or in the pretty parlour, it's always a very cosy place to eat.
