Traditional Sweet Dishes
Swiss chocolate
Zurich's chocolatiers helped perfect the silky, refined textures Swiss chocolate is famous for, and many shops age and temper their bars like fine wine to highlight delicate flavors.
Zürcher Krapfen
The Zürcher Krapfen is a fried, jam-filled pastry that became a carnival favorite in Zurich, often dusted with powdered sugar and enjoyed during Fasnacht.
Nidelkuchen
Nidelkuchen takes its name from 'nidel', the Swiss German word for cream, and delights with a caramelized, custard-like topping over a buttery base.
Traditional Savory Dishes
Zürcher Geschnetzeltes
Zürcher Geschnetzeltes is thinly sliced veal in a creamy white wine and mushroom sauce, invented for city diners and traditionally spooned over Rösti.
Rösti
Rösti began as a farmer's breakfast and evolved into a Swiss signature, prized for its crunchy golden crust and soft interior and frequently served as the perfect bed for meat dishes.
Fondue
Fondue turned a humble winter peasant meal into a national social ritual, where friends dip bread into a shared pot of molten cheese using long forks.
Traditional Beverages
Rivella
Rivella is a uniquely Swiss soft drink made from milk whey, giving it a faintly creamy, tangy taste that is unmistakable compared with cola.
Swiss wine
Most Swiss wine is drunk at home, which makes bottles from Zurich's small urban vineyards a rare and prized find for visitors.
Kirsch
Kirsch is a clear cherry brandy used in cooking and fondue, it carries floral, almond-like notes from the cherry stones the spirit is distilled with.

Avoid restaurants around Bahnhofstrasse, walk two blocks east for lunch prices half as much with same quality.
Weather was unpredictable, sun one minute, rain the next. Pack layers and an umbrella, you can still enjoy outdoor cafes.
Buy the Zurich Card for 24 or 72 hours, it covers most trams, boats and discounts, saved us money on museums and transit.
Only stayed one day and felt rushed. Would go back for longer, especially in late spring or early fall when it's less crowded.
Felt safe and orderly, trains run like clockwork. A bit too polished for my taste, wished for more gritty local spots.
