Sihlhalde

★ Michelin€€€Classic Cuisine, Seasonal Cuisine

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

Bib Gourmand€€Traditional Cuisine, Swiss

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

A real gem! The restaurant of the elegant Alex Lake Zurich hotel is laid out over two levels, right by Lake Zurich – the setting is modern and lively, with large windows affording unobstructed views of the water.

A restaurant with a special atmosphere! Cosy, colourful and packed with art – a tastefully eclectic blend of styles and highly individual decorative details. In addition, the service is pleasingly laid-back and professional. Classic cuisine with Mediterranean influences is served in the form of a three- to eight-course set menu. To accompany it, choose from the nicely curated wine list, which has a particularly good selection from Switzerland and France. There is a set lunch menu Wed-Fri. In summer, it is pleasant to sit in the small garden behind the restaurant. Tip for anyone looking for a v
