After a successful stint at two-star restaurant 7132 Silver in Vals, Mitja Birlo has made the move to Zurich. In an impressive building next to the main train station – a prime city-centre location – he presents a cosmopolitan culinary concept that is truly one of a kind. In a relaxed, modern and elegant setting, diners take their seats on comfortable bar chairs at the counter right next to the open kitchen to observe the numerous exciting delicacies comprising the surprise menu being created – with the dishes explained by the chefs themselves.

In this restaurant in the upper reaches of the city, a rather elegant yet relaxed atmosphere awaits you. The kitchen team showcases in-season regional produce in really delicious dishes. While Ronny Zipfel presides in the kitchen, maître d' Nicolas Schumnik heads up the experienced front-of-house team. In summer, head for the leafy terrace. Tip: It is easy to get here by taking the no 10 tram or the Funicular Rigiblick.

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.

This trendy, urban restaurant and bar is located in the middle of a residential area in Kreis 5 (Zürich's fifth district). The atmosphere is lively and bustling, and in light of their interesting concept, it comes as no surprise that the place is well frequented: they serve tasty modern European cuisine with dishes in starter-sized portions (four is a good number to order). Mouthwatering options include the likes of veal shank ragout with mashed potatoes, confit garlic and Trevisano. Alternatively, there is a five-course set menu – available in omnivore and vegetarian versions. Good wine list

A fun dining experience is guaranteed at this delightful restaurant with its inviting decor – the wine-glass chandeliers are certainly original! In the evening, there is a set menu comprising three, four or five courses, featuring dishes such as Appenzell mountain lamb and meat patties, served with green beans and chanterelles, thyme jus and Ribel polenta with mascarpone. There are also regular daily specials. Authentic Swiss cuisine based on craftsmanship, free from showmanship or trendy gimmicks – it resonates with locals and tourists alike. Well-curated wine list.

The modern, urban setting is inviting, with its fair-faced concrete, decorative paintings and striking pendant lights – as well as exposed ventilation pipes on high ceilings – create a distinctive aesthetic. A terrace is set up outside the floor-to-ceiling windows during the summer months. Service is led by the charming, cordial and accomplished hostess. The chef celebrates his heritage with Mediterranean-inspired cuisine, incorporating plenty of Swiss produce in the process. The quality and freshness speak for themselves – be sure to try the ravioli! Options include an à la carte selection an

This place has all the makings of a cherished favourite restaurant! Tucked away in a courtyard, it has a pleasingly vibrant and laid-back atmosphere. Closely spaced tables and Turkish background music add to the bustling feel. In the open kitchen, modern Turkish dishes are prepared: expect dishes packed with bold flavours and sometimes with a touch of heat. Shining examples of dishes made using the grill and wood-fired oven, which play a major role, include mini lahmacun (freshly baked bread with lamb, yoghurt cream and onions) and manti (potato ravioli with yoghurt, salca butter and parsley).

This gem of a restaurant is somewhat tucked away in a narrow alley in the city centre. In a historical dining room with a cosy, rustic atmosphere, diners are served modern cuisine rooted in French culinary tradition. The concept is designed with sharing in mind. The "Tavolata" stands out: a three- to five-course surprise menu to be enjoyed in company. Alternatively, there are à la carte options such as hand-cut beef tartare with brioche, or pan-seared scallops with Jerusalem artichoke, beurre blanc and hazelnut.
