Delicacies from Zürich

Discover the recipe that represents Switzerland

Züri Geschnetzlets has always fascinated me because of the mere fact that when you order it in a good restaurant in Switzerland you normally get 2 plates of it. It is the one dish I love so much that I will eat both plates. It really reminds me of Zurich and romantic dinners out.

Local gastonomy

Apart from Züri Geschnetzlets, Swiss food has a lot to do with cheese. 
Anyone visiting Switzerland has to try a good cheese fondue or raclete  as well as Züri Geschnetzlets. 
However most importantly don’t forget to make time for a touch of chocolate discovery!
