«Sala of Tokyo», Zürich

The oldest Japanese restaurant in Switzerland is an institution. Since 1981, the “Sala of Tokyo” on Zurich's Bahnhofsstrasse has been the culinary embassy of an increasingly popular cuisine.

«La Trattoria Freilager», Zürich

We will have to wait a little longer for the opening of Antonio Colaianni's fine dining restaurant in Zurich-Altstetten. The “La Trattoria Freilager - La Cucina Colaianni” is already open and should not be missed.

«Jägerhof», St. Gallen

The “Jägerhof” is St. Gallen's gourmet temple of good humor. And because it also cooks at a very high level of creativity, it is one of the most popular fine dining addresses in Eastern Switzerland.

«Fleuri», Bern

A summer oasis that needs to be found first: In the middle of the Botanical Gardens of the University of Bern, known as “Boga” for short, with a view over the River Aare, the crew of the “Strunk” event venue run a small café bar.

«Didi’s Frieden», Zürich

Whether on the terrace or in the winding restaurant, “Didi's Frieden” is a place where you can relax over lunch. 

«La Casetta», Ascona

The restaurant with its elegant terrazza is located directly on Lake Maggiore. The view and ambience? Stunning. Cuisine and cellar? Delightful.

«Ornellaia», Zürich

The ristorante on Bahnhofstrasse, including the garden bar, is open seven days a week. When the weather is fine, you can eat outside under the trees, even in the afternoon. GaultMillau rating: 15 points.

«The Dining Room», Cham

Living room atmosphere and first-class cuisine: Christopher Knippschild & Johanna Hagen are the hosts.

«Maimin», Bern

Thai noodle soups (“Guay Tiew”) that taste as if a Bangkok street kitchen, complete with cooks and inventory, had moved to Bern’s old town!
