Decked out in chalkboards, pendulum lamps, and toolbox cutlery holders, this workshop-inspired eatery in Luzern’s modish Neustadt quarter serves global cuisine with a creative twist (think: coconut-crusted salmon drizzled in peanut sauce or salad in a pumpkin-mustard dressing). It also offers various cookery and cocktail workshops.

The lunch-and-tearoom set (ladies with poodles, Brits in tweeds, fashionistas in Gucci) regularly descends on Zurcher, the irresistible confiserie on Montreux's main drag. A green salad, the potage du jour (soup of the day), and a chocolate torte make a great quick meal. The café is closed on Monday.
