Restaurants in Zurich
Expats eating out in Zurich benefit from an impressive range of cuisine that rightly accompanies the city's reputation as 
Switzerland’s most international metropolis. Naturally, there are strong offerings from the French, German and Italian culinary scenes.
The closest you will come to a local dish is probably Zürcher Geschnetzeltes, veal stew with mushrooms, cream and white wine.
The best eateries can be found on the left bank and right bank areas. Reservations should be made well in advance, and a tip of 15 percent is normally included within the bill.
