Ideally situated in the center of Switzerland, Zurich is within easy reach of the
surrounding Alpine landscapes as well as the very best of Europe. It’s a dynamic
destination with a charming Altstadt (Old Town), tranquil lakefront, and vibrant culture—
not to mention an outstanding food scene. Spend your days exploring the city or venturing
out on day trips, then return for evenings of culinary indulgence at restaurants ranging
from fine dining temples to historic taverns and pop-up eateries.

Traditional Tastes

Sample authentic Swiss cuisine in a

rustic neighborhood tavern or at one of

the city’s landmark restaurants. Kaiser’s

Reblaube is housed in one of Zurich’s most

beautiful medieval buildings dating back

to 1260. Enjoy Zürcher Geschnetzeltes, a

traditional Swiss speciality, at the legendary

Kronenhalle. Hosting the city's elite since

1924, the renowned eatery boasts framed

works by artists such as Picasso and Chagall.

Panoramic Views

For a relaxing lunch accompanied by

marvelous views of the city, lake, and nearby

Alps, reserve a table at the Jules Verne

Panorama Bar, just below the Urania

observatory in the center of town. Join the

city’s trendsetters at Clouds, situated on

the 35th floor of the Prime Tower in the

fashionable Zurich-West area, for an elegant

evening of fine dining amid panoramic

views. On a hill overlooking the city, Die

Waid boasts two unique dining concepts:

Seasons Restaurant, serving classic

European cuisine, and WOK Bar, serving

Asian-inspired specialties. And let time drift

away while enjoying the views over Lake

Zurich from Restaurant Buech’s romantic

terrace.

Lakefront Elegance

The banks of Lake Zurich are ideal for dining

alfresco, with a breathtaking backdrop of the

shimmering lake and snow-capped peaks.

Choose from a host of waterfront restaurants

including Pumpstation, a lively open-air

eatery serving classics like grilled sausages

and potato salad; Fischers Fritz, a casual

spot serving fresh fish from the lake; and

Sonnengalerie, an elegant fine-dining

restaurant in the Romantik Seehotel Sonne.
