Gasthof zur Sonne
Swiss, Traditional Cuisine · Bib
€€
This 500-year-old heritage-protected inn is run by Patricia and Cäsar Meyer, who represent the second generation of their family here. He has a penchant for fish caught in Lake Zurich, just a stone's throw away – you can't get any fresher or more regional than that! Meat and vegetables, too, are sourced from the immediate vicinity. Besides the whitefish and perch, the Stäfa venison is especially worth trying, such as the overnight-braised shoulder with Pinot Noir sauce. This commitment to regional ingredients underscores the kitchen's sustainable approach. Food is served on the first floor of

Gasthaus Löwen
Classic Cuisine, Modern Cuisine · ★ Michelin
€€€€
Dating back to the 16C, Löwen is a lovely traditional inn that has been run by Tanja and Franco Körperich since 2019. She takes care of the service in the charming and elegant wood-panelled dining space on the first floor, and Franco is at the helm in the kitchen. Diners sit at elegantly laid tables to savour a surprise menu comprising four to eight courses, with vegetarian options available if pre-ordered. Top-quality ingredients go into classic dishes that draw on modern and international influences. A shining example is the gently barbecued and mildly spiced king prawn, accompanied by light

Löwen - Apriori
Mediterranean Cuisine, Seasonal Cuisine · ★ Michelin
€€€€
You can sense the dedication of hosts Rita and Domenico Miggiano-Köferli, who, since 2000, have been running this lovely inn that is steeped in history. As well as having tasteful, individually decorated guestrooms and Gaststube (their everyday restaurant), Löwen is home to Apriori, a fine dining restaurant that has held a MICHELIN star since 2018. The setting is modern and elegant, with warm tones and elegant design details shaping a refined interior. The small private dining area, with just five tables, offers a wonderfully intimate atmosphere. Chef-patron Domenico Miggiano puts his heart an

Sihlhalde
Classic Cuisine, Seasonal Cuisine · ★ Michelin
€€€
The journey to this idyllic little hamlet is well worth it, for Gregor Smolinsky has a special talent: his ability to strip things down to the bare essentials. The focus is squarely on the produce. His style of cooking is classic and clear-cut; nothing distracts from the superior quality of the ingredients. Take, for example, the thick and fleshy freshly caught John Dory, served with a grainy mustard sauce and Catalogna. Only a few components are used, and they are always brimming with intense flavours. Tip: Try the brasato ravioli or soufflé – they have almost cult status! It's no wonder that

Zum Pflugstein
Traditional Cuisine, Swiss · Bib
€€
Considered the largest erratic boulder in the canton of Zurich, the Pflugstein is located just above this distinguished half-timbered house dating from 1750 and lends its name to this idyllic restaurant 550m above sea level. The interior comprises an attractive wood-panelled space and a room with a fireplace; outside, the terrace beneath the boughs of plane trees comes into its own in the warm seasons. The service team overseen by the charming Jeannine Meili also deserves a mention. The kitchen prepares classic, regional and seasonal dishes made from fresh ingredients – à la carte or as a set m

Eder's Eichmühle
Farm to table, International
€€€
A superb destination that fully deserves its popularity! One of its greatest assets is its picturesque hillside setting, complete with a beautiful garden and lake views – needless to say, the terrace is a big hit in summer. But the interior of the long-standing Eder family inn is every bit as charming; tables are laid out in cosy traditional parlours and the airy, modern conservatory. The service is friendly and professional with a personal touch. Top-notch ingredients go into sophisticated dishes that are served à la carte or as a set menu. The extensive and very well-curated wine list deserv

Wöschi
Modern Cuisine · ★ Michelin
€€€
This restaurant is located right on Wollishofen harbour and boasts a magnificent view of the "Zürisee", as the locals call Lake Zurich. The kitchen team, led by David Klocksin, serve up punchy dishes. The four- to five-course surprise menu reflects this with pleasingly pared-down yet full-bodied creations, such as the vegetarian baked cauliflower with curry and peanut. However, the more "conventional" options, such as the Valais pike-perch or Zurich beef, are just as delectable. A vegetarian version of the set menu is also available. Feel free to add wine or alcohol-free pairings. This is a tr

The Restaurant
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.
