Restaurants in Zurich
Expats eating in Zurich benefit from Switzerland’s most international city and its range of cuisines. Naturally there are strong offerings of French, German and Italian cuisine.
The closest you will come to a local dish is probably Zürcher Geschnetzeltes, veal stew with mushrooms, cream and white wine and Swiss favourite Rösti. The best eateries can be found on left bank and right bank areas. Reservations should be made well in advance and a tip of 15% is normally included within the bill.
