The Restaurant

★★ Michelin€€€€Creative, Modern Cuisine

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.

Located in the sleepy town of Wangen, this pretty inn successfully combines the old and the new. A dedicated couple have been plying their trade here since 2005 – Matthias Brunner is in charge of the kitchen, while Bettina Brunner-Schill oversees the friendly front-of-house team. The cuisine has classical leanings with modern influences. Diners can choose between a seasonal and a vegetarian set menu (each with up to seven courses, featuring dishes such as "kingfish, pumpkin cannelloni, lemongrass" or "radish and tonburi ravioli, calamansi"), as well as a smaller "classics" menu.

Set in a beautiful terraced garden on the third floor of a modern annexe, this outdoor restaurant is a highlight of The Dolder Grand luxury hotel.
