Dating back to 1497, this historical townhouse in Zug's old town is a lovely location. The friendly service and relaxed atmosphere here are appreciated by locals and tourists alike. Diners can choose from the selection of classics such as cordon bleu, Lammhacktätschli (lamb patties) and beef roulades, and there is also a seasonal menu. The tables on the gorgeous terrace in front of the building in the cobbled pedestrian area are coveted. Tip: Just a stone's throw away, the lakeside is perfect for a stroll.

Here, you won't want to miss out on the Austrian specialities such as Backhenderl (breaded fried chicken), Tafelspitz (prime boiled beef) or Topfenknödel (curd dumplings)! Available in a large or small portion, the Wiener schnitzel is a real highlight. Be sure to ask about the fish of the day, freshly caught from the adjacent Lake Zug. As well as the good food, diners can look forward to professional and attentive service in a cosy and stylish setting – the Austrian charm of the decor is the perfect match for the cuisine. The lakeside location provides a lovely backdrop. The nearby multi-store

Johanna Hagen and Christopher Knippschild are your congenial hosts here – she is an attentive maître d' with an easy charm; the chef, who has experience at some top-flight establishments (including Gustav and mesa in Zurich and Maaemo in Oslo) under his belt, cooks up modern, seasonal cuisine.

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

This gorgeous building, which started out as an inn in 1708, boasts an idyllic location just a few metres from the shore of Zugersee. Run by a mother-and-son team, the restaurant serves classic cuisine, with fish from the lake playing an important role, for example. A fine dining menu is also available, and in summer the charcoal barbecue is put to work. The service is charming and professional, and the atmosphere in the dining area is cosy. The fantastic terrace is understandably popular – it's wonderful to sit in the shade of the large trees and drink in the view of the lake!

In this gorgeous inn, a winning father-and-daughter team conjures up modern takes on classic dishes. They propose a surprise menu – slightly cheaper at lunchtime than in the evening. Incidentally, they smoke the salmon themselves. If you would like a vegetarian menu, please indicate this when making your reservation. Well-stocked wine list. Tip: Across the road, there is a terrace shaded by plane trees, right by Lake Zug and with a view of the Rigi – in fine weather the sunsets are magical!

They will also prepare a creatively inspired set menu if you order in advance, and a children's menu is available as well. Anticipation builds from the moment you arrive: freshly baked bread
