The Black Cat is far from being a bad omen! The talent is in the plate, with succulent bites of the world and the Swiss soil. Don't miss the tasty bites of Satay chicken, scallops, lamb keftas accompanied by a wonderful Geneva wine (the cellar is of high quality). The cocktail menu offers particularly creative elixirs. There is a bar area, relocated and revamped, and in the extension, a room with 200 seats and a smoking room.

Right in the heart of the bustling city, Tao's is an exotic (and posh) oasis in Zurich. The setting is intoxicating: a beautiful wooden terrace under the trees in the summer, a trendy neo-Asian decor with subdued lighting and warm tones inside. On the menu, a fusion menu faithful to its Asian-European mix, like the Chinese ravioli with truffles and the tagliolinis with beef and red curry sauce. The adjacent bar, designed in the same trendy spirit, will delight cigar and refined cocktail lovers.

Zurich West is the birthplace of the city's most avant-garde restaurants, and Josef is one of them!

The wine list is very tempting. The attentive staff will make sure you have a delicious time.

Tired of Swiss fondues and fond of healthy food? Don't wait any longer and run to the Ona Poké restaurant! Originally from Hawaii, the poke bowl was all the rage in the United States before arriving in Zurich. Here, the poke bowls are to be composed by yourself: the base is diced raw fish (or tofu) with raw vegetables, fruits, seeds and exotic garnishes (mango, edamame, coriander...). The poke bowl is the latest trend in healthy eating and it's easy to see why. A treat for the body and the taste buds!

At the Intercontinental, how about brunch on a summer's morning, in a setting made of bamboo - in China, it's a symbol of longevity - or on the terrace? Here, the cuisine is "seasonal and local". The cuisine offered by Woods is refined and prepared with fresh, local produce, and the menu is redesigned every week to reflect the flavors of the season. The setting is superb, especially the garden. Don't miss the green wall, a hymn to nature, and above all, the Zen-inspired garden and pool, the perfect place to recharge your batteries.

One of Lugano's trendy establishments, Mauri Concept is an eye-catching concept store: designer boutique, beauty salon and café-restaurant all in one. Under beautiful arcades surrounded by plants outdoors, or indoors in a designer decor, it's a good choice for a breakfast surrounded by businessmen gulping down their coffee. The pastries, both French and Italian, the wide range of teas and the quality snacks (salads, tartars, bagels and a weekly menu) are well worth the detour.

In an ethnic atmosphere, the Lounge bar stands out from the other more traditional establishments in the resort. It's nice to come and enjoy a homemade cocktail and relax in the comfortable design of the sofas. Both felted and contemporary, it's a good idea to go out on Leysin.
