The 10 restaurants with the best wine cards in Zurich
This top restaurant in the five-star hotel, The Dolder Grand, impresses all round, with the view over the city, the elegant ambience, the extremely attentive service, the select drinks menu and the fine creations from the pen of top chef Heiko Nieder.
The IGNIV Bar in the restaurant of the same name shows just how exciting the craft of cocktails can be. The menu features cutting-edge creations alongside perfectly executed classics. As befits an IGNIV, there are also drinks to share. The spectacular Champagne selection is also highly recommended.
Earthy, honest and narrative - that's how things are done in this restaurant. Between four and six courses are served in the evening, with vegetarian and even vegan options available on request. Whether employee, guest or producer, the team always endeavours to ensure everyone's well-being.
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 Rechberg is located in a house dating back to 1837 - before industrialisation. The focus is on ingredients as they were back then: local, seasonal, unprocessed. The kitchen ferments, smokes and preserves. Surprise menu, plus a treasure trove of natural wines from Swiss cellars.
Anna has been one of the most popular restaurants in District 6 for a number of years now, appealing to a wide range of people with its down-to-earth and contemporary Mediterranean cuisine, modern yet cosy ambience and fine selection of wines.
The kitchen team is guided by the seasonal and regional market offerings. To guarantee freshness, the passionate chef personally goes to the market. The name of the restaurant is no coincidence: the diverse wine cellar is unrivalled.
Chez Smith combines everything the aperitif heart desires: fresh tapas, cocktails and long drinks. These are accompanied by selected wines from the more than 60-page menu, to be enjoyed at the bar, at the chef's table with a view of the kitchen or on the leafy terrace.
This bar is a hotspot for wine lovers and cocktail fans alike. The Carlton Bar specialises in vermouth and champagne-based drinks that stylishly continue the wine theme around the large wine list. Classic cocktails made from hand-picked spirits and delicious bar snacks are also served.
Natural wines, transparent production - here, only wines whose values are shared by the Silex team are served on the plate and in the glass. A tasting menu is served in the evening. Those with a smaller appetite can order à la carte. And the wine list leaves nothing to be desired.
