Creative, Modern Cuisine · ★★ Michelin

€€€€

The Dolder Grand (formerly "Curhaus", dating back to 1899), one of the city's most exclusive hotels, boasts an idyllic location above Zurich, providing a magnificent setting for this chic and elegant fine dining restaurant. If possible, book a table near the window so you can savour the magnificent view while you eat. The huge glassed-in wine cabinet also draws the eye. Chef Heiko Nieder's elaborate and creative cooking is built on classical foundations but peppered with exotic Asian accents – think Breton lobster with green curry vinaigrette, avocado and herbs or "hot and sour" langoustine.

Widder Restaurant

In the chic fine dining restaurant of the luxurious Widder boutique hotel, chef Stefan Heilemann and his team skilfully bridge the gap between classic and modern, drawing on international influences. Thoughtful preparation and precise technique go into the elegant dishes. The set menu starts as it means to go on, with a veritable explosion of flavours, in the form of light bites such as a fluffy bao bun filled with pulled goulash and amuse-bouches including tender, delicately sweet Algarve prawns with a refined cauliflower foam and crispy frosted herb pearls. The culinary delight continues wit

The dining experience is centred on sharing – three to four dishes from the seasonal menu per person is about right. The flavoursome dishes are made with carefully selected vegetables, such as aubergine with miso, wasabi sesame and cashew, or Pizokel (buckwheat dumplings), Périgor

In the centre of Zurich, right next to the Münsterhof square, this compact restaurant is tucked away in a side street.

The cuisine is Asian, with an emphasis on seafood. Shining examples of dishes include "golden garlic oyster royale – hint of chilli", "langoustine broth with corn harmony" and Peking duck. A choice of sake, wine or alcohol-free beverages complements the food. Hostess Lin Wang is always on hand and will
