The best restaurants Switzerland

Located on the first floor of the Mix Shop, opposite the upper entrance of Fnac, the Petit Thaï is an excellent address for eating at a low price: Ginger chicken chicken, matsaman curry beef, cashew shrimp, cashew shrimp and many more. The service is very fast and the friendly staff. Non-smoking room.

Behind a pretty blue and white window, rather discreet, lies the best historical in Lausanne! You can choose between three choices of sauce, not at all piquant. Oriental pastries are also delicious.

Ma-Jong is an Asian fast-food restaurant that breaks away from the Swiss norm, with takeaway boxes of Chinese noodles or more elaborate on-site dishes. Excellent pad thai and hearty ramen! The place has opened a second floor that doubles as a sushi bar and karaoke bar (Thursday, Friday and Saturday). The owner, who worked with Japanese for ten years, has decided to offer traditional sushi at affordable prices. Also worth trying: Asian beers such as Tsingtao. A well-known address among regulars.

Located on the grounds of the Vidy campsite, this restaurant offers a friendly, relaxed setting. With its large lakeside terrace surrounded by trees, Les Berges de Vidy is the ideal place to stop for a meal or just an ice cream. Under Orangina umbrellas, you can enjoy delicious perch fillets or simpler fare such as cheese crusts and pizzas. The Breton pancake bar also serves excellent buckwheat pancakes. Flip-flops and pétanque atmosphere guaranteed all day long!

Another dimension, this time from the lake. It's an exploration not to be missed, a cruise aboard one of the Belle Époque boats on the lake. The cruise offers beautiful panoramic views of the Lavaux terraces and the Swiss Riviera, and the Alps on the French side. CGN offers a wide variety of gourmet cruises, including the "festival des fondues" (cheese or wine fondues), or "lunches on the lake", or chef's suggestions. Consult the site for timetables, itineraries and menu components, which vary according to date.

When cuisine becomes an art in itself, an empire of the senses, in terms of flavors, colors and presentation, it's called Crissier for regulars. This three-Michelin-starred restaurant has held on to its title of nobility for over a decade now: it's one of Switzerland's finest tables, and well worth the trip. Excellent and sublime when each dish, combining flavors, texture and art of presentation, constitutes a masterpiece of culinary art.

When you come to the Auberge de la Cergniaulaz, you will find yourself in a typically decorated chalet, planted in the middle of the mountain pastures and overlooking the Riviera. A la carte, an elaborate market cuisine, whose main speciality is rabbit à la tessinoise, served in a small pot. The fine choice of wines and above all the warm welcome are appreciated. In the summer, a shady terrace is very pleasant at any time of the day. It is also the starting point for beautiful walks.

The Museum is an institution offering the full range of unmissable Swiss specialties. Admittedly, it's not the best value for money in town, but you'll enjoy it in a Vaudois atmosphere. The setting is pretty and rustic, with red and white gingham tablecloths for the meat specialties, such as beef tenderloin heart fondue, charbonnade and entrecôte (from 200 to 500 g!), all served with the cellar's gratin, made with ten kinds of cheese. A real treat. The Charbonnade is excellent, and the service is good.

A building with typical regional architecture, set back from the hustle and bustle, but easily accessible from the town. In a traditional pint décor, meat dishes are served mainly as rump steak from our mountains, "Café de Paris" butter or veal kidneys with Meaux mustard, oriented towards local cuisine. Friendly and relaxed atmosphere, in a cosy dining room, with fireplace, or also on the terrace.

When we compare recipes to musical notes, we can recompose them together to give birth to thousands of other ideas and create new compositions. It's a real poem, and it works! The pizzas are good and tasty, and the welcome and service are excellent. In short, the atmosphere is one of Italian gastronomy, and you'll never tire of enjoying it. A recommended address if you're craving pizza.

This time, it's a golden-yellow house clinging to the terraces of Lavaux, a location worth its weight in gold, as always, facing the lake and the Alps, a sublime panorama of which one never tires, whatever the light or the season. Everyone fights to have lunch on the lake side, so much so that the managers warn: reservations? According to the recorded chronology, by telephone. You've been warned. Fillets of perch, pike-perch, trout, risottos, sauerkraut, papet vaudois... Traditional and tasty dishes to savor.

It's a little pink house perched on the terraces of Lavaux, a pretty winegrower's house in Aran-Villette. Its chef, Denis Velen, prepares gastronomy based on creativity, inventiveness, color and the inspiration of the moment. He creates "whims of the moment" menus. A great deal of research goes into flavors, the blending of products and the surprise of taste. On sunny days, you can enjoy a splendid view from the terrace. We also offer cooking classes on Thursday and Saturday mornings, followed by a tasting menu (check website).

A house of character in the pretty village of Cully, l'Auberge du Raisin is an elegant address. Under the inlaid ceiling of a late 14th early 15th century room decorated with still lifes, you can enjoy gastronomic cuisine, good spit-roasted meats such as the "Boucherie Nardi" rib of beef, creamy tarragon butter, or the whole roasted Swiss cockerel on the spit, with Meaux mustard sauce. The fish dishes are finely cooked. Several areas, bar, cellar, brasserie, restaurant, reading room and hotel.

In Vevey's pedestrian street, the Aladin restaurant is a well-known address among local residents. In a magnificent setting worthy of the Arabian Nights, Ahmad Bahadli has been serving Moroccan, Lebanese and even Iraqi specialities for twelve years. By day, the atmosphere is friendly and sunny. In the evening, candles on the tables make for a more intimate atmosphere. After a starter of hummus and couscous or tagine, there's nothing better than settling down on a pouffe with your hookah and enjoying a light digestion.

A stopover of choice in the charming village of Saint-Saphorin and along the cantonal road. Le Café du Raisin offers a wide choice of fish: Arctic char, fera, perch fillets (from the lake, depending on arrival) and fish soup, but also other dishes such as a tournedos with pinot noir or a rib steak with green pepper. In autumn/winter, the menu also features beautiful game dishes. The welcome is charming and the atmosphere is family friendly. Pleasant high terrace for a coffee break in the afternoon with a view of the lake.

Excellent value for money on a budget. The menu features chicken in all its splendor: on the spit, in sauce, in soup, minced. The 1/2 chickens are excellent, served with fries or salads, and this is one of the best places to eat on a budget in Geneva. Simple but very good meals! the menu: always the same yellow and green color scheme, reminiscent of wheat fields and green pastures. An interesting concept, which can be found in the Old Town, Petit Saconnex and Saint Gervais

Since 2007, Heidi and Fabrice Bischoff have welcomed us to one of the town's oldest residences, dating back to 1445! In a cozy setting with antique furniture, wood panelling and a small oriel window, you can savour meticulously prepared local cuisine with a French accent (the chef, Mr. Bischoff, is of French-speaking origin). You'll feel right at home! In fine weather, the terrace and its pergola are a real plus where you can enjoy delicious seasonal dishes. Specialties include game meats. Very friendly service.

On the edge of Scherrer Park. One could choose to come to Morcote only for this address, as the cuisine and the welcome are so extraordinary. In the summer, you can relax on the terrace overlooking the lake, surrounded by fruit trees. In autumn, we take refuge by the fire in a cosy atmosphere. There is a menu, but the best is to rely on the suggestions of the Chef, a lover of good products, who proposes different seasonal recipes every week. The desserts are divine! Excellent wines too.

Open since 1861, this beautiful wooded brasserie has not lost its old-fashioned cachet (old bistro counter). Well-prepared French and Italian dishes are served, such as asparagus ravioli gratin or Gotteion trout filet, and of course game dishes in the fall. In the afternoon, you can enjoy the warm and relaxed atmosphere of the terrace. In the evening, you can attend concerts, DJ evenings or football matches on the big screen. It is a real institution in Fribourg.

In the heart of Baden is Hirschli, an elegant restaurant offering excellent modern and inventive cuisine. The chef's inspirations are diverse, with hints of French, Italian, Japanese... A masterful fusion cuisine that brilliantly blends flavors. This establishment is much appreciated for the quality of its menu, the products selected and the choice of wines, but also for its cosy atmosphere and interesting clientele. In summer, the garden and string lights add a pleasant atmosphere to the restaurant. A warm welcome.

In a country and bucolic atmosphere, the Auberge des 4 Vents offers a choice of dishes. Of very high quality, the dishes are chosen according to the season. In autumn, we appreciate the hunting menu with candied deer cheeks, in summer the vegetables and fish. The recipes are homemade and you can see the love of cooking in every bite. In the summer, the veranda opens onto the beautifully flowered park and you can enjoy a long lazy day while finishing your meal with a coffee and a good dessert. To keep the pleasure going, the hotel welcomes you.

Welcome to the trendy concrete jungle of Zürich-West! This former warehouse is always full of life. A sudden craving for moules frites? A flammekueche?

This restaurant, located in a quiet area west of Zurich, honors French cuisine. Escargots, filet de boeuf, sole meunière, escalope de veau, côtes d'agneau... the menu recalls the flavors of our good country (as does the wine cellar). Specialties include "Café de Paris" entrecôte served with sauce and fried matchsticks, and charbonnade (roast beef with olives, pearl onions, peppers and five different sauces) served for two only in the evening. Reservations are recommended for dinner.

This classic Italian trattoria sells out every night, weekdays and weekends. And it's not just because it's located on one of Zurich's most touristy streets. Reservations are therefore highly recommended, especially in the evenings. It's easy to understand why the place is so popular once you're inside: every table is perfectly laid, the service is always impeccable and the plates are each more beautiful than the last. When the weather's nice, there's a terrace where you can soak up the sun with a good pizza.

It is said that an Italian restaurant must be run by transalpine people. Well, the Celia restaurant proves us wrong! Here, although the whole menu smells of olive oil, there is not a single person from the boot in the kitchen or in the dining room... and this does not prevent the pizzas from competing with any of the competitors from Naples, Milan or Rome. Note: this is one of the few restaurants open on Sundays in the neighbourhood to welcome you in a warm and friendly atmosphere. To discover.
