Shooting star Robert Steuri brings a breath of fresh air to the historic Maihöfli: his menus combine precise craftsmanship with a fine sense of flavours, whether classic or vegan. In the stylish old building, the cuisine is so innovative that the city of lights is taking notice in gastronomic terms.
The Marktküche is considered a pioneer of plant-based cuisine in Zurich. Here, imaginative menus are created that put vegetables in the leading roles and also impress meat eaters. As popular as ever - if you come in the evening without a reservation, you'll need a lot of luck.
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.
The Glacier in Grindelwald focuses on modern design and ambitious cuisine. Finely balanced courses bring out the best in local produce. The alpine backdrop and the creative signature make the Glacier a place for contemporary gourmet enjoyment.

Plant-based cuisine at a high level, characterised by Zizi Hattab's clear signature. In the small, quiet room, menus are created that PLAY with textures and flavours and show how exciting vegan food can be - without dogma, but with a great deal of artisanal finesse.
You shouldn't take the name "Brasserie" too seriously, because in the centre of Zermatt, the food is really cooked up. Head chef Luis Romo conjures up a tasting menu to suit every whim, with a range of dishes to match. This also applies to the wine list with mature Bordeaux à gogo.
Luciole is both a restaurant and a philosophical approach. Sustainability and dishes without animal products take centre stage here. The flavourful menus, which are rethought and cooked every month, show how well this can work in gastronomy.
The Pinot is quietly located on the edge of Fläsch - a place for fine dishes, served in a relaxed atmosphere. There is a new menu every day at lunchtime and a gourmet evening every Thursday. The focus is on regional wines, with the herb garden providing fresh produce.

Elegant restaurant with a beautiful terrace by the lake. The cuisine is creative and contemporary. The flavour combinations are sometimes daring, but always harmonious. The wine list, which is not particularly large but has been compiled with expertise, will also delight connoisseurs.
The food at the Pony is seasonal and clean. There are terrines, soups, fish or roasts, plus vegetables from the surrounding area. The pavilion is bright and quiet, while the neighbouring pub is smaller and down-to-earth. The garden is in bloom and the view stretches far over the Lucerne hinterland.
Elegant Swiss cuisine is celebrated at the romantic Hotel Bären in the picturesque Emmental valley. The kitchen team of the host family Beduhn creates classic dishes from regional products or enjoys inventing new creations, also for vegetarians and vegans.
Right on the edge of the castle park, the Landgasthof Wartegg invites you not only to eat, but also to celebrate: a kitchen party with hunter's fare, a Martini Goose Weekend and an evening with Magician & Dinner are all part of the regular programme here. Very superior cuisine.
Lots of wood, little noise, no meat. At Lauch, the cooking is plant-based, but without dogma - sometimes fermented, sometimes fried, sometimes raw. The ingredients are sourced locally, of course, and the glass is sometimes filled with naturally cloudy beer. If you like things calm, thoughtful and different, this is the place for you.
High above Winterthur, the Taggenberg serves garden-fresh food with a guaranteed view. Vegetables play first fiddle here, with meat and fish playing only a supporting role. Small menu, big ideas - and a terrace that is one of the most beautiful in Switzerland.
Hip, relaxed and completely meat-free: at Concordia, sharing plates full of precisely interpreted vegetable dishes take centre stage, such as gyoza, kohlrabi noodles or miso asparagus. Kombucha and hand-picked wines are served with a lot of heart and expertise.
