  • 1. Restaurant Bel Étage

    $$$ | Altstadt

    The formal Bel Étage showcases chef Michael Baader's masterly culinary inventions, with seasonal dishes using a mix of Swiss and international ingredients; for the best sampling, try one of the tasting menus, with well-thought-out wine pairings. The restaurant takes up four rooms of the historic Teufelhof hotel and is jazzed up with modern art on the walls, plus there's a lovely terrace for when the weather's fine. In the on-site wine shop, you can buy bottles of the wines you liked best to take home. Don't miss the fantastic cheese trolley for dessert.

    $$$ | Altstadt

    This much-loved establishment has been serving up a selection of the finest Piedmont cuisine for more than 70 years and is well-known for its antipasti and wonderfully decadent desserts. Don't come here for modern Italian food—the menu is quite traditional, with a fine selection of classic pasta, fish, and meat dishes. The elegant atmosphere is quite traditional, too, though has been gently refreshed by the new owners in 2020. Dine while enjoying the view of the Rhine from your white-draped table. Riverside terrace seating is available.

  • 3. Schlüsselzunft

    $$$ | Altstadt

    This extremely popular historic guildhall has been transformed into an airy and elegant dining room, and is famous for its traditional and beautiful ceramic stove. Though the Swiss-international food can hold its own, many visit just for the atmosphere: arched doorways, beamed ceilings, mural-covered walls, and a charming courtyard. It draws a crowd with its business lunches, and dinner features well-executed seasonal cuisine with plenty of vegetarian, fish, and meat choices livened up with interesting sides and sauces.
