Swiss to the Core 12 inns serving authentic Swiss cuisine with character
Intro
Swiss cuisine draws on an exceptionally rich repertoire of regional recipes. What is served depends very much on where you are – on Lake Constance, in the Graubünden Alps, around Zurich or in Valais – with local traditions and ingredients shaping each cuisine. The best country inns and city restaurants bring these traditions into the present, giving time-honoured dishes a contemporary touch without losing their original character.
Culinary traditions do not stop at Switzerland’s language borders. Influences from German-speaking Switzerland, French-speaking Switzerland and Ticino often meet in unexpected and rewarding ways.

The taste of Switzerland: enjoying local specialties in traditional restaurants is like taking a culinary journey – straight from the plate.

Carefully selected Swiss wines and spirits round off the experience.

The best traditional inns know exactly where their ingredients come from and often work closely with producers nearby. Local farmers, fishers and hunters, after all, tend to eat where authenticity is not simply promised, but genuinely lived.
