Celebrity chef Antonio Colaianni runs this stylishly designed fine dining restaurant in the Albisrieden neighbourhood with maître d' Marco Però, and it makes for a perfect complement to their Trattoria, which is housed in the same building. Born in Italy, he wows diners with Italian and French dishes, balancing tradition and innovation with finesse. This is beautifully showcased in his five-course menu featuring dishes such as "Tonno Rosso" – bluefin tuna and king crab, or "Tre Volte Manzo" – fillet, shoulder and essence of beef with Périgord truffle. Made by his mother Maria, the orecchiette

This restaurant certainly lives up to its tagline of "fine dining with arts". The creative cuisine takes inspiration from an in-house art exhibition, which changes every quarter. Chef Julien Mühlebach and sommelier Maximilian Dullinger, who met and became friends while working at EquiTable, have joined forces and opened their own intimate dining spot. The decor is deliberately pared down and minimalist, keeping the focus firmly on the food and the art. The surprise tasting menu – four, five or six courses, as well as an optional cheese course – showcases locally sourced ingredients from small-

Located in a listed post-war building that was designed by architect Dominik Burlet and built between 1957 and 1960, this pleasingly unpretentious restaurant is run with great enthusiasm by a friendly team.

This restaurant is located in a lively residential area. Plenty of Swiss produce goes into the modern seasonal dishes, which are created in the partially visible kitchen. The restaurant is just as committed to sustainability as it is to wine – selected by connoisseurs, the distinctive wine list is testament to a true passion for the grape. British-born chef George Tomlin, previously sous-chef at London's The Clove Club, expresses his creative streak in dishes such as grilled slices of elm mushroom with roasted black onions and a creamy buttermilk and roasted yeast espuma.

At Weisses Rössli, good-quality ingredients are transformed into dishes inspired by regional and Mediterranean cuisine, always prepared with a modern approach and a creative twist, including some appealing vegetarian and vegan options. Diners can compile their own set menu, selecting two to five courses – one standout is "Giulia's Ravioli Del Plin". The atmosphere is invitingly down-to-earth, and the service team is very friendly and dedicated. A terrace in the rear courtyard makes for a peaceful retreat from the street. Tip for motorists: Hürlimannareal and Sihlcity car parks are nearby.
