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. The wine pairi

After relocating within the city centre, the restaurant still draws diners with its seasonally inspired cooking. There is a choice of a five-course "Chef's Choice" menu (with fish and meat or vegetarian) as well as appealing à la carte options such as "cured char, rapeseed", "smoked tofu tempura, chard, kimchi" or "lamb, parsnip, spring herbs". The house-baked sourdough bread served at the start of the meal is wonderful. A carefully curated selection of wines is also available. Warm, attentive service is the icing on the cake.

Steeped in tradition, this restaurant in the Oberwinterthur district has received a modern makeover thanks to the couple at the helm: Markus Burkhard and Flavia Hiestand. In a pleasingly relaxed and informal atmosphere, diners are treated to attentive and friendly service and seasonal cuisine. The three- or four-course set menu crafted from select Swiss ingredients is composed according to your personal preferences – the leek stuffed with chicken, served with an excellent chicken broth, for example, is a real treat. The precise and highly skilled craftsmanship of Markus Burkhard, who made a na

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.

The journey out to the countryside is well worth it for the experience of cuisine cooked with heart and passion. The menu ranges from lobster and wild boar entrecôte to classics of regional cuisine such as house-made Kalbshackbraten (veal meatloaf) and beef fillet stroganoff. Plump for the set menu or dine à la carte. In both the simple Wirtsstube (ground floor) and the more upmarket Pratum (first floor), the atmosphere is cosy – the latter also has a pretty terrace for summer days; it is converted into a fondue parlour from November to February. Tip: Their Wyberg Shop has lots of tasty treats

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.

This restaurant is steeped in tradition, and much sought after for its excellent seasonal cuisine. The chef's expertise and his knack for preparing select ingredients with real flavour are evident in dishes such as spicy smoked trout tartare with dill mustard and marinated apple and beetroot salad, and braised veal cheek, Bramata polenta and green beans with dried bacon. At lunchtime, you can order à la carte or opt for one of four three-course set menus. In the evening, there is a tasting menu in addition to an à la carte selection.

This charming restaurant serves regional cuisine prepared with high-quality ingredients – the chef has a particular passion for risotto. Offal dishes, such as tripe or liver, are also available. The Gourmet Galgenspiess flambiert (flambéed hanging skewer) and the Chateaubriand have to be ordered in advance and are served to the whole table. The rustic downstairs space makes for a cosy setting; the upstairs room is a little more elegant. With her friendly, outgoing manner, the proprietress brings a personal touch to the service. The peaceful rural location, about 25km from Zurich, is a draw in
