The 10 best modern restaurants in Zurich
The creations that Heiko Nieder presents to his guests are characterized by an impressive spectrum of aromas. He finds the ingredients and inspiration for his six- or eight-course tasting menu all over the world. Of course, the wine list is also spectacular.
In one of the city's most outstanding gourmet restaurants, contemporary elegant design meets gastronomic art at the highest level. Stefan Heilemann's culinary art captivates with high-quality produce, exotic flavours and a great willingness to experiment.
The Pavillon, designed by star architect Pierre-Yves Rochon, is worth a visit not only because of its location in the park of the Baur au Lac. Top chef Laurent Eperon's cuisine combines classic French and modern elements to create an elegant and contemporary whole.
At Hotel Marktgasse, Andreas Caminada designs a new Igniv with tried-and-true elements: historic atmosphere, classic bar, and, as usual, a sharing menu. Chef Zeindlhofer cooks with his own signature; accessible but refined.
At EquiTable, sustainable gastronomy is celebrated at the highest level. Almost everything on offer here comes from the region and is sourced directly from the producer. Add to that an exciting wine list and attentive, unobtrusive service - what more could you want?
Maison Manesse stays true to its moto of "Fun Fine Dining." Under chef Benjamin Plsek, seasonal ingredients become works of art on the plate, with surprising twists. Despite the double star, service is casual, informal, and cordial.
The Neue Taverne in the Old Town offers a neighbourhood atmosphere and contemporary plant-based cuisine in a sharing menu concept of the highest standard. The nature-based wine list and emphasis on vegetables make the Neue Taverne a delightful experience for all.
At the club restaurant in Kreis 5, changing dishes are served on small plates for sharing. Whether homemade ravioli, guinea fowl with fennel carpaccio, or flambéed sturgeon: At Josef, every dish impresses with its balance and flavour.
Silex is named after the legendary wine of Didier Dagueneau. This creates expectations for the wine list that are not disappointed. The cuisine is also excellent: the best produce, mostly from the Zurich area, are combined in an innovative way.
