Mostly everybody outside of Switzerland only knows Fondue and Raclette. My personal favorite dish is „Züri-Gschnätzlets with Rösti or Fries (and no mushrooms and intestines)“. In summer time I love „Fischchnuschperli“, fried fish filets, together with a salad it makes an excellent meal. If we are heading towards autumn I enjoy a hearty feast with game, Spätzle, steamed apples with cranberry sauce and chestnuts in caramel sauce. (I’m not a fan of red cabbage).
Albis Restaurant

From local fish from Lake Zurich to not so local Lobster. However, great food, nice atmosphere and I appreciate the En Soie elements from next door.
Kronenhalle

Kronenhalle is an institution in Zurich, an establishment of the rich. It’s pricey but the Züri-Gschnätzlets is great.

My favourite dish at Rosal’y is there Chäs-Spätzli. But of course I also already tried the Züri-Gschnätzlets as well.
