Limmathof Baden - Boutique Haus & Spa

The trip out here into the countryside is definitely worth it! Clad in Swiss hardwood, the building housing this restaurant stands directly adjacent to a recreational area and close to the Reuss River. Chef Manuel Steigmeier presents bold, sophisticated dishes that are prepared with remarkable precision and distilled to their essence. Guided by the philosophy "Locally rooted, globally inspired", his set menu, which is based on outstanding ingredients, comprises modern interpretations of classics (eg "cappelletti, tomato, cheese, celery") and original creations such as "kohlrabi, wasabi, ginger

Following its relocation within Lenzburg, Rosmarin entices diners with a cool concept: The modern setting allows for up to 12 guests to sit at a counter right by the open kitchen, where chef-patron Philipp Audolensky prepares a creative surprise menu comprising five to seven courses (vegetarian or vegan options are available by prior arrangement). Appetisers and pastries are prepared by Céline Huber. The tartare of premium Bremgarten salmon trout, enhanced with finely chopped kimchi for juiciness and a gentle spicy kick, and finished with a delicate, intensely aromatic chive mayonnaise, is a f

At this exceedingly well-run establishment dating from the 19C, you have the option of dining in either a snug tavern or an elegant restaurant. The shady terrace to the rear of the building is delightful in summer! Adept service comes courtesy of a friendly and laid-back front-of-house team. The cuisine emphasises regional and seasonal elements. Among the menu classics, the Wiener schnitzel clearly stands out. In the evening, order à la carte or opt for a six-course set menu. Lunchtime options are more limited and budget-friendly.

Steeped in over 200 years of history, this building makes for a really delightful setting: Bärenstube and Orangerie are full of charm and attention to detail. The garden is also attractive – a truly idyllic spot! The seasonal food has regional and Mediterranean influences. You will feel right at home in the pretty guestrooms.

As well as drawing on fairtrade and organic produce, the chefs source ingredients locally wherever possible. The result is bold, flavour-rich dishes replete with interesting culinary combinations. Chef Julian Marti showcases his signature style in creations such as his wonderfully creamy risotto-style spelt with smoked eel, Swiss chard and dill – fantastic! The food takes the form of a four- to seven-course set menu – a vegan version is available by prior arrangement. In keeping with the modern cuisine, the dining space of this small restaurant on a corner plot has an appealingly minimalist de

Tucked away in an inner courtyard is Franz (the name is derived from the female-forward concept of "Frauen im Zentrum"), a space dedicated to culture, work and food. The latter is to be had here at Wirtschaft im Franz, in the form of a cleverly devised surprise menu comprising four, five or six courses. Modern and seasonal dishes such as "Beetroot, leek, mustard seed, horseradish" are pleasingly pared back and creative without being fussy. The emphasis is on the quality of the produce, with vegetables taking centre stage. Information on the ingredients used and their provenance is listed on th

Zineb ("Zizi") Hattab offers something truly out of the ordinary in her charming pub-style eatery. Not only is her creative modern cuisine entirely vegan, but it also draws on fascinating Moroccan and Mexican influences. The dishes are straightforward and unfussy; here, it is all about flavour and soul. The chef – born in Spain and the daughter of Moroccan immigrants – grew up on the Costa Brava. Originally an engineer, she followed her passion for cooking and cut her teeth working with the likes of Andreas Caminada in Switzerland and at the Mexican restaurant Cosme in New York. In the evening
