"Swiss Cuisine" Restaurants in Canton Zurich
In venerable parlours with a view of the Limmat, the cuisine is based on craftsmanship and provenance. The sauces have depth, the cooking points are just right and the service is attentive. If you get a table on the terrace, you will experience Zurich at its best.
What a successful fusion of Franconian specialities (the delicacies from Sebastian Rösch's homeland), Swiss traditions (cordon bleu) and creative, contemporary gourmet cuisine with lots of fresh ingredients from the Alpine region! The picnic to go is a hit.
Not far from Winterthur, a family-run business offers ambitious cuisine: French-influenced, seasonal, but without dogma. Classicism and creativity are in balance. The service is skilful, the ambience simple - the cuisine speaks for itself.
At Gamper, Marius Frehner skilfully pays tribute to the best - often biodynamic - ingredients in Switzerland. Four-course dishes with precise flavours, a great deal of skill and no frills. Only ingredients that make sense are used on the puristically presented plates.
The cuisine in the beautiful vaulted dining room refines regional products with Mediterranean sophistication. Seasonal ingredients, fine flavours and attentive details create a gastronomic experience that elegantly combines history and indulgence.
The Bauernschänke is located in the centre of the Rindermarkt. Instead of classics, original dishes such as king mackerel with radicchio or the famous pork belly gröstl in lettuce are served - all to share or in the five-course surprise menu. The wine list includes many natural wines.
The Trübli will remain at its usual address until March 2026, when the team plans to move to a new location. Until then, there will be the usual multi-course surprise menu, including vegetarian options. The wine list is carefully curated and makes the restaurant a firm favourite.
On Lake Zurich in Wollishofen, Wöschi shows just how relaxed fine dining can be. Innovative surprise menus are served, precisely cooked and imaginatively realised. The glass front and lakeside terrace make it one of the best places to enjoy Zurich by the water.
Epsom lettuce with pickled mirabelle plums and hazelnuts in a vinaigrette. Gently smoked char with radishes, horseradish and herb oil. Quince ceviche with flamed kingfish and kohlrabi. What a smooth texture this kingfish pickled in vinegar and marinated in oil has! A pleasantly light-footed start to dinner: this is the new way to dine at the Herrliberg "Buech". A facelift is good manners on Zurich's Gold Coast from a certain age. The plastic surgeon at the "Buech": Andreas Caminada. He has done a great job. He dusted off the popular huts, gave the patina a worthy stage and refreshed the menu. The charm is back. As with the "Casa Caminada", Caminada proves that he is not only a master of fine dining. With Nicolas Schröder, who most recently worked at Zurich's "Igniv", he is once again giving a chef from his own ranks the chance to prove himself as head chef. Hostess Fabiola Reimund is supported in the background by Ines Triebenbacher, who is known as the "Igniv" hostess in Zurich: Top wine list, which includes everything from regional Pinot Noir to rare vintner's champagne, fair pricing. Pike-perch with sauerkraut, caramelized grapes and beurre blanc. Served with mashed potatoes and nut butter - a real treat. The caramelized apple with cinnamon waffle, apple butter ice cream and apple broth for dessert emphasizes once again: no fine dining, but creative compositions that you simply have to love. If you want to experience a dinner at the "Buech", you have to plan well - at the moment, almost every evening is fully booked over a month in advance!
Love, desire and passion - this is what Thomas Huber and Monika Jans epitomise. Huber is the 13th generation of chefs at the Krone Sihlbrugg and combines classic French cuisine with Asian flavours. He also has a love of baking bread and sourdough.
Surprising new interpretations of traditional Swiss cuisine are created in the stylish parlour. Vegetables from the market, lovingly homemade desserts and regional freshness combine to create hearty moments of pleasure, accompanied by selected wines from the region.
Patricia and Caesar Meyer are responsible for the warm welcome. They are the second generation to run the business and seek out the finest local produce for their guests. The fish, for example, swam in Lake Zurich and the deer lived in the Stäfner forests before being hunted.
Didi's Frieden has long been a Zurich institution. The handwritten menu changes daily, and in the evening you can choose from three- to five-course menus or à la carte. The kitchen serves classic dishes with finesse - no show cooking, but consistent quality.
The Krone sits enthroned within historic walls in the medieval upper town of Regensberg. Regional ingredients meet modern interpretations, inspired by classic French cuisine with subtle Asian touches. A gourmet destination with a panoramic view.
Host Anna Zimmermann hits the pulse of the times with Lotti. Meat tigers and vegetable fans get their money's worth here. The food is cooked on the large wood-fired grill. The dishes to share make the evening an uncomplicated pleasure. Exciting wine selection.
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.
The food here is cooked the way it tastes: hearty home cooking meets Mediterranean lightness at Rosaly's. The wine list surprises with rare Swiss wines. No fuss, just pure enjoyment. A real gem for connoisseurs who value solid and refined flavours.
The wine list lists 5000 items, making the Wunderbrunnen restaurant a land of milk and honey for wine aficionados. On the plate, guests will find dishes with a Mediterranean-Asian flavour, created from exquisite products that respect nature.
This historic guild house has been serving food since 1636. The view of the Münsterhof complements the bourgeois but not dusty restaurant perfectly. The menu features Zurich classics and creative new creations by Wojciech Grzejszczyk.
In the Pratum, you sit upstairs where the hayloft used to be. The kitchen brings garden, forest and meadow to the plate, complemented by cleverly selected ingredients from all over the world. Great seasonal tasting menus change regularly. The view sweeps over the vines and Irchel.
