The Top 100 Restaurants Near Mekong

  1. Rank 1. Mekong

    Vietnamese

    A family-run Southeast Asian restaurant tucked above a shopping street in Chur's old town, where the Phommarath family supply their own kitchen via their Asian grocery shop around the corner, which explains why the wonton and spring rolls taste like someone actually cared about the ingredients. Curries, wok dishes, and a tight lunch set round out the menu. It's the kind of neighborhood spot that runs quietly and efficiently without making a fuss about itself.


  2. Rank 2. La Brezza

    Modern New American

    Perched 1,800 meters up in the Alps inside the Tschuggen Grand Hotel, La Brezza holds two Michelin stars and takes fine dining seriously enough to offer a fully vegan tasting menu alongside its main one. The cooking is elaborate without being showy, and the sauces in particular do a lot of quiet, impressive work. Dress for a long, unhurried evening with a wine list that will not make the decision easy.


  3. A medieval castle in a tiny Graubünden village is a bold choice for one of Europe's more serious fine dining rooms, but here we are. Andreas Caminada's kitchen leans on what the surrounding region grows and raises rather than the usual luxury imports, which gives the tasting menu a rooted, specific character. Three Michelin stars and a spot on the World's 50 Best list. Guestrooms are available if you'd rather not drive home afterward.


  4. A three-Michelin-star tasting restaurant in the Swiss spa town of Bad Ragaz, where the cooking looks almost restrained until it isn't. Sven Wassmer builds dishes around Swiss ingredients with a depth that keeps catching you off guard, the kind of elegance that hides its own workings. The set menu runs six to ten courses, with optional additions, and wine or alcohol-free pairings to match.


  5. Andreas Caminada's two-Michelin-star sharing restaurant inside Grand Resort Bad Ragaz takes its name from the Romansh word for "nest," which tells you something about the intention. Set in a vaulted historic room, it runs a single elaborate creative menu where each course arrives as a cluster of small dishes meant to be passed around. A serious sommelier steers the wine list, heavy on regional bottles available by the glass. Note it's closed for renovation until late 2026.


  6. Rank 6. OZ

    Vegetarian

    Housed inside the grounds of Schloss Schauenstein, OZ takes its name from the Romansh word for "today" and runs a nine-course vegetarian tasting menu built around an estate permaculture garden. Guests sit at a U-shaped counter close enough to chat with the chefs, which gives the room a warmth that formal tasting menus don't always manage. It holds a Michelin star.


  7. The glass-walled wine cellar alone is worth a slow look. This Michelin-starred fine dining room runs on what the team calls health-and-lifestyle cuisine, meaning the menu follows the seasons closely and the chef stays in conversation with local growers about what's ready. Dishes read like a nature walk translated into a plate, and the interior echoes that instinct, with materials and colors pulled from the landscape outside. The terrace opens in summer.


  8. Rank 8. Apollo

    Modern Mediterranean

    Dark walls hung with original NASA mission photos set the mood at this Michelin-starred modern Mediterranean restaurant inside Hotel Grischa. The open kitchen puts the cooking on full display, where the team works through set menus of four to six courses that mix bold Mediterranean flavors with quiet Asian touches. Davos as a fine-dining destination sounds implausible until you're actually sitting in it.


  9. A patrician house that has been feeding St Gallen canton seriously for decades, with a Michelin star to show for it. The Nidbergstube is the cosy, wood-paneled room at its heart, where set menus run from three to seven courses of careful, classically rooted cooking. The wine list leans hard into Swiss bottles alongside a deep French selection, and the front-of-house team treats the whole operation like a family matter, because it is.


  10. Rank 10. Casa Alva

    Mediterranean

    A former parsonage in the Graubünden mountains, now a modern tasting-menu restaurant where the old stone bones of the building show through a polished interior. The chef runs a five-to-eight course "Chef's Choice" menu that pulls from French, Mediterranean, and Alpine traditions without committing too hard to any of them. Guestrooms are available if you'd rather not navigate mountain roads after several courses of wine.


  11. Rank 11. Torkel

    New American

    The restaurant takes its name from the old wooden wine press that anchors the dining room, a hulking relic that somehow feels at home alongside the contemporary fit-out. In the conservatory, the walls fold back and the Rhine Valley fills the frame. The kitchen turns out modern, produce-led cooking, scallops and grilled fish kept clean and uncluttered. The wine list runs to around 850 labels, the floor team knows it well, and the place holds a Michelin star.


  12. Tucked into castle grounds in tiny Fürstenau, this restaurant from Andreas Caminada keeps things rooted in Graubünden, where the regional produce tends to upstage everything around it. The room has high ceilings, warm wood, and a terrace that makes you forget you had other plans. Country cooking is the register, seasonal and local, with Graubünden classics alongside whatever the kitchen's suppliers turned up that week. The in-house bakery next door is worth a detour on the way out.


  13. The name says it all: terroir is the whole point here, a cozy Alpine restaurant in Lenzerheide where the kitchen grows or sources nearly everything from the surrounding Graubünden valleys. The menu is mix-and-match, so you build your own path through whatever the season offers, local char, Grisons lamb, wines pulled from nearby. Staff will walk you through the sourcing story unprompted, which feels genuine rather than rehearsed. Book ahead.


  14. Aperitifs are served inside the kitchen itself, which tells you something about how this two-Michelin-starred restaurant in the remote Vals valley wants the evening to feel. The cooking is pared-back and precise, with a chef who coaxes contrast from very few elements on the plate. A vegetarian Menu Surprise runs alongside the main tasting menu, and the wine list leans heavily Swiss, Italian, and French, with Bordeaux vintages that reward the curious.


  15. The dining room is inside a private hospital's side wing, which sounds like a punchline until the food arrives. This seasonal restaurant in Fläsch earns a Michelin Bib Gourmand with a concise, ingredient-driven menu that rotates around what's regional and what's ready. Lunch is the main event, the terrace tables fill fast, and the open kitchen faces a mountain view that makes the whole setup feel a little surreal in the best way.


  16. The dining room of this fine dining restaurant in Lenzerheide occupies a centuries-old cow byre, its ancient timber bones now sharing space with sleek contemporary design and a soaring ceiling. The kitchen leans hard on Swiss sourcing, running two set menus alongside à la carte. Before dinner, the bar downstairs earns its own visit, and the panoramic terrace makes a strong case for arriving while the light is still good.



  17. The dirndl-clad servers are not a gimmick; they match the old-school dining room perfectly in this Swiss bistro that has been feeding Mels for what feels like forever. The Kalberer family runs the room with the kind of unhurried warmth that makes a weeknight dinner feel like a Sunday occasion. Braised veal cheeks and the classic meat patties anchor a menu that leans into regional tradition without being dusty about it. The Michelin Guide awarded it a Bib Gourmand.


  18. Capuns and tripe on the same menu as Mediterranean dishes sounds like a contradiction until you're sitting in the old Stube watching locals fill every table. This restaurant in the Surselva valley earns a Michelin Bib Gourmand for food that draws on Graubünden tradition and southern Europe in equal measure, with offal done with real commitment. A garden terrace opens in summer, and a daily lunch menu keeps things affordable.


  19. An old stone house sitting alone among the Graubünden vineyards, Alter Torkel is a regional restaurant built around wine in a way that goes beyond a list on the wall. The menu rotates its glass pours constantly, so the food and the wine change together by season. The kitchen leans into local and seasonal cooking, the hosts are the genuinely welcoming kind, and in summer the terrace opens onto a long view of the valley.



  20. A sleek, contemporary dining room in Bad Ragaz where the kitchen leans on whatever the season is handing over, running it through a tasting menu format of three to six courses or à la carte. The front-of-house team is the kind that actually knows the wine list rather than just carrying it around. Guestrooms are available if the meal turns into an evening.


  21. The chef shakes every guest's hand personally, which sets the tone for the room before you've even sat down. This is a cozy, wood-paneled regional restaurant in wine country Maienfeld, where the ceiling beams and rustic chairs look like they grew there. The kitchen leans into hearty Alpine cooking, lamb ragout with creamy bramata polenta, chicken, cordon bleu, and plates sized for sharing when the mood calls for it.



  22. Rank 25. Adler

    Modern French

    Wood-panelled walls and a wine cellar running to over 800 labels set the tone at this cosy inn tucked into the village of Fläsch. The chef brings a South Tyrolean sensibility to modern French cooking, sourcing from the region and building menus that stretch from a four-course set to a nine-course "Full Story," with a vegetarian path alongside. The chef's partner runs the floor and handles the wine, which keeps the whole operation feeling like a very well-organized dinner party.



  23. Sleek contemporary finishes sit under old Graubünden ceiling beams in this brasserie tucked into Laax, open from mid-afternoon onward. The menu moves between regional Graubünden dishes, brasserie classics, and seafood, which is apparently where the chef's heart actually lives. The terrace is the kind you linger on longer than planned, which in the Alps is saying something.


  24. Rank 28. Gufer55

    Austrian

    A village restaurant in the Vorarlberg mountains that swings from Tafelspitz and Wiener schnitzel to Thai curry without anyone flinching, which tells you something about the mood of the place. The menu is long and genuinely eclectic, built around fresh produce and regional staples. Cosy and modern inside, with a terrace for summer. The Michelin Guide awards it a Bib Gourmand, and the service is the kind that makes a long lunch feel like the obvious choice.


  25. Wood-panelled rooms in a centuries-old farmhouse in an idyllic Graubünden village set the tone: this is country cooking done with real care. The menu runs up to nine courses of modern regional cuisine, with local char from the Val Lumnezia and a famous slow-cooked egg that regulars apparently plan their visit around. In summer, the terrace earns its own following. House-made liqueurs and herb salts are sold to take home, which tells you something about the kitchen's priorities.


  26. Rank 30. Gasthaus Höhwald

    Alpine Austrian

    A mountain dining room above Klosters where the terrace view does half the work before the food arrives. This is a warmly run Alpine restaurant, husband and wife front and back, with a menu that moves through the seasons and drifts toward Austria when the mood strikes, particularly on Mondays when a classic boiled beef lands on the table. Hot meals run all day, which the slopes crowd tends to appreciate.


  27. A restored timber farmhouse sitting high in the Graubünden Alps, Berghuus Radons is a mountain restaurant with guestrooms, reachable only by permit on narrow roads, which is either a romantic detail or a logistical headache depending on your mood. Inside, dark old wood meets quietly modern touches. The seasonal menu leans regional, with provenance printed on the menu and half the evening options vegetarian, built into a three-course format with a short à la carte alongside.



  28. The painted ceiling and herringbone floor of the Traubensaal do most of the talking before the menu arrives. This is a classic dining room inside an old inn, the kind of place where seasonally driven contemporary cooking meets a wine list with one of Switzerland's more serious Champagne selections. Local sourcing runs deep, with fish coming from named farms nearby. The staff know the cellar well and seem genuinely pleased to prove it.


  29. The Braustube is the laid-back sibling to the more formal Traubensaal next door, a regional German gasthaus where the kitchen takes the same care either way. Pork cheeks braised in apple with mashed potato and bacon-fried Brussels sprouts is the kind of dish that makes you stop talking mid-sentence. The wine list runs deep, with a champagne selection that surprises for a room this unfussy. In summer, the garden terrace fills up fast.


  30. The cutlery here was forged by a local blacksmith, which sets the tone for a Michelin-starred tasting menu restaurant that takes its Alpine roots seriously without taking itself too seriously. The compact dining room is lined entirely in Swiss stone pine, and the chef, who came up through Hong Kong's fine dining scene, turns out precise, pared-back plates that nod to the surrounding Engadin valley. Guestrooms upstairs mean you don't have to rush.


  31. The chef forages his own herbs, ferments his own ingredients, and has named his tasting menus in Italian, which tells you most of what you need to know about the vibe at this one-Michelin-star fine dining room in a handsome Engadine chalet. The cooking is rooted in the alpine region but resolutely modern in technique. Warm local wood and clean lines keep the room from feeling fussy, which is a minor miracle given how elaborate the plates get.


  32. Rank 37. Brasserie Leonis

    Austrian French

    Warm Alpine wood meets clean brasserie lines inside this elegant hotel dining room in the Montafon valley, where the floral arrangements are bold enough to make a statement without trying too hard. The menu moves comfortably between Wiener schnitzel and quail coq au vin, with steaks coming off a Japanese Yakiniku charcoal grill for good measure. The sommelier runs the floor with quiet confidence, and the wine list leans heavily Austrian.


  33. The only Veuve Clicquot champagne cellar in Switzerland sits beneath this Michelin-starred creative dining room in the Engadin valley, which feels like a flex the Alps earned. The hotel's family runs their own joinery, so the warm wood everywhere is genuinely theirs to claim. An eight-course surprise menu leans on local Alpine produce, and a cheese trolley and 700-label wine list fill whatever gaps the courses leave.


  34. The paccheri alla Vittorio arrives looking almost too composed, and then it disappears quickly. This two-Michelin-starred Italian fine dining room sits inside the Carlton Hotel with views across the lake, open through the winter season only. The chef comes down from the Lombardy flagship each year, bringing the signature dishes with him. Aperitifs first in the lounge, then precise, produce-led cooking with a wine list long enough to require commitment.


  35. Rank 40. Colani Bistrot

    Regional Mediterranean

    Pale wood paneling and a terrace facing the Alpine village set the mood at this laid-back bistro inside Hotel Colani. The kitchen leans Mediterranean with a local Graubünden accent, running daily ravioli and a rotating cut of venison or veal that gives regulars a reason to come back mid-week. Desserts get their own moment too. The Michelin Guide awarded it a Bib Gourmand, and the service feels like the hotel actually meant it.


  36. Rank 41. Ecco St. Moritz

    Modern French

    Inside the Giardino Mountain hotel, this two-Michelin-star fine dining room is where the Engadine winter gets its proper send-off. The chef's French-rooted cooking has a seriousness of purpose that the alpine setting only amplifies. A pâté en croûte filled with venison, pork, and goose, served alongside red wine mustard ice cream, tells you the tone immediately. The front-of-house team runs the room with the kind of warmth that doesn't feel rehearsed.


  37. Rank 42. Talvo

    Mediterranean

    A 17th-century Engadine farmhouse that somehow makes a convincing case for Mediterranean cooking in the Swiss Alps. Talvo holds a Michelin star and operates at the fine-dining register, candlelit and unhurried, with a mezzanine and a tucked-away "Balkönli" balcony where two small tables sit apart from the room. The kitchen leans on pristine ingredients and clean flavors, the kind of cooking that doesn't need explaining when the plate arrives.


  38. A Vorarlberg village inn that's been in the same family for three generations, sitting beside the parish church with wood-panelled rooms and a terrace shaded by old trees. The menu leans hard into the region, with seasonal ingredients sourced almost entirely nearby, and a vegetarian set menu alongside the à la carte. The Michelin Guide awards it a Bib Gourmand. Book ahead, because the locals already know.


  39. A converted farmhouse in a quiet hamlet near the Austrian border, Weinlaube is a country restaurant where open-fire cooking anchors the menu: a barbecue, fire ring, and smoker all sit outside the kitchen. The dining rooms lean into Stube-style coziness, and the terrace makes a case for good weather. The cooking is seasonal and honest, with the occasional international detour, and the wine list runs deeper than the setting might suggest.


  40. The road to Betlis only opens for five minutes on the half hour, which keeps the crowds thin and the terrace gloriously quiet above Lake Walen. This organic farm-to-table restaurant leans into its setting: wooden interior, small plates of pickled vegetables and herb quark alongside proper main courses, plus a three-way set menu in meat, vegetarian, or vegan form. It feels less like a destination than a corner someone quietly kept to themselves.



  41. A boutique hotel restaurant in Feldkirch's old town that takes its regional sourcing seriously, pulling ingredients from nearby farms and folding them into dishes with a broader international sensibility. The menu runs both set and à la carte, with a shorter version at lunch for the less committed. Around 250 Austrian-focused wines back it all up. The kind of place where the room feels quietly considered and the cooking matches it.



  42. A Michelin-starred Alpine restaurant in the ski village of Madesimo, Il Cantinone stays rooted in the mountains while quietly letting the wider world in. The kitchen works with buckwheat, venison, trout, and truffles, then folds in ideas picked up on travels abroad, a combination that earns the place its star without feeling like it's trying to. Family-run, warm, and never stuffy.


  43. The dining room is a former cowshed, which sets the theme before you've even sat down. This cozy fondue and raclette spot inside a hotel in Brail leans hard into its heritage: cheese fondues, raclette, capuns, and fondue chinoise fill out a menu that has never once pretended cows aren't the point. Cheesemaking demonstrations run some evenings, and there's a shop if you'd like to carry the enthusiasm home in wax-sealed form.


  44. Rank 51. La Scarpetta

    Contemporary Italian

    Bare wooden tables, rustic floorboards, and an assortment of wall clocks that probably tell different times set the tone at this cozy Italian trattoria in the heart of St. Moritz, where the crowd skews more pasta-and-carafe than fur-coat-and-tasting-menu. The team runs the room like a dinner party they're hosting, and the down-to-earth cooking, fresh and unfussy, fits that energy exactly. The wine list punches well above the price point. A Michelin Bib Gourmand.



  45. Inside the Cresta Palace Hotel, this is where the chef's Levantine heritage meets Engadin produce: think baharat-spiced lamb or deep-fried local trout with sumac nage, sitting alongside mezze and a tabbouleh that comes with a grandmother's name attached. The room is chic but relaxed, the kind that forgives you for ordering one of everything, which the sharing menu quietly encourages anyway. The wine list travels as far as the cooking does.


  46. Rank 54. Langosteria

    Contemporary Italian


  47. Vintage sledges hang from the ceiling, which tells you this is Saint Moritz dining done with a wink. KCC by Mauro Colagreco is a relaxed restaurant beside the ice rink, where Mediterranean instincts meet local Alpine produce over open flames and embers. Sharing cuts like lamb shoulder are on the menu, pasta sits alongside the mains, and live music or vinyl sessions fill the room. The terrace is a strong argument for summer visits.


  48. Peruvian cooking inside a grand St. Moritz hotel, where a vaulted ceiling adds just enough theater to a room that somehow stays cheerful. The chef, Claudia Canessa, runs a kitchen that takes ceviche and corn-based dishes seriously, folding sharp, bright flavors into a setting where you might have expected fondue. The front-of-house team is the kind that remembers things without being asked, which in the Alps counts for quite a lot.



  49. Some dishes still arrive raw and leave flaming, which tells you something about where Le Restaurant and Le Relais sit on the formality dial. Both are the classic fine-dining rooms of Badrutt's Palace in St. Moritz, all white-glove service and carefully sourced ingredients. Breakfast comes with lake and mountain views, which is either restorative or unbearable depending on how your evening went.


  50. Rank 59. Grand Restaurant

    Seasonal French

    Stucco ceilings and valley views through tall windows set the tone at this formal fine dining room inside the Carlton hotel. The kitchen leans on regional ingredients and something the menu describes as nutritional principles, which sounds more austere than it tastes. A plant-based tasting menu sits alongside classic French preparations and a few showpiece dishes for two. Aperitifs by the fireplace next door, with a pianist, is the sensible move if you arrive early.



  51. Rank 61. Hide & Seek

    Swiss Mediterranean


  52. A centuries-old house on the road to the Basilika Rankweil, with shady plane trees shading the terrace and a vaulted tapas bar running Thursday through Saturday. The kitchen does surprise menus only, with diners choosing the number of courses, built around leaf-to-root and nose-to-tail principles. It's a regional, seasonal restaurant with rustic bones and modern instincts, and the wine list doubles as a shop.



  53. Swiss stone pine panelling lines the walls of this elegant hotel dining room in Pontresina, giving the place the warmth of a mountain lodge with the table manners of something considerably grander. The kitchen works a quiet line between classic French and Italian, with set menus or à la carte, and the pressed duck, carved tableside for two, is the kind of dish that makes ordering anything else feel like a missed opportunity.


  54. The building has been around forever, a former courthouse with old wood and historical details spread across five dining rooms that lean into the atmosphere rather than fight it. It's a classic restaurant in the traditional sense, where the cooking follows suit with high-quality ingredients and careful preparation. Come summer, the chestnut-tree garden earns the "romantik" in the name without any extra effort required.



  55. The old soapstone stove in the corner has been doing its job since long before anyone reading this was born. This is a cosy, wood-panelled dining room in the heart of Graubünden, serving the regional dishes that this corner of Switzerland has been eating forever: capuns, maluns, saffron soup. The cooking is hearty and unfussy, the prices are fair, and a Michelin Bib Gourmand keeps the locals company at the tables. Book ahead.


  56. Rank 68. Wirtschaft Traube

    Alpine Austrian

    The host has been known to pull up a chair and sit with you, which tells you a lot about the mood of this wood-panelled Alpine dining room. The chef hunts, forages, and mills his own corn, then folds the results into a short seasonal menu you can take à la carte or as a set. The cooking is rooted deep in Vorarlberg, with mountain cheese and foraged herbs doing most of the talking.


  57. Rank 69. Truube

    Modern Mediterranean

    A traditional Appenzell farmhouse holds a Michelin-starred restaurant where the menu runs four to seven courses and exists in both vegetarian and non-vegetarian form, which is a rarer courtesy than it should be. The chef draws on classic technique with Mediterranean and occasional Middle Eastern leanings; her husband runs the floor and steers a wine list focused on Switzerland, France, and Italy. Unhurried and quietly polished.


  58. Dinner here begins with aperitifs downstairs in a small parlour before guests move up to a horseshoe counter of bar chairs, which sounds casual until you notice the two Michelin stars. Chef Julian Stieger's tasting menu is modern and precise without being showy, the kind of cooking where a slice of black pudding bread with apple and truffle shavings makes a quiet, confident case for itself. The service is warm rather than stiff, which helps considerably at that altitude.


  59. A fireplace in winter, a garden terrace in summer, and a Michelin-starred kitchen threading lake fish and Lombardy tradition through a quietly modern lens year-round. The Tonola family has been feeding this corner of the province for generations, and the current setup pairs a young chef's deft hand with parents who run the room and the wine list with the ease of people who've never needed to think too hard about either.


  60. Rank 72. Löffelspitze

    Alpine Austrian

    Named for the mountain looming above it at nearly 2,000 meters, this intimate restaurant inside Hotel Alpenstern serves a single eight-course menu built around seasonal and Alpine ingredients. Only a handful of tables keep it feeling close, and amuse-bouches arrive in the bar before you're shown to your seat. The wine list runs to over 2,000 labels, which is quietly absurd for somewhere this small, and cocktail pairings are on offer too.


  61. The floor-to-ceiling windows frame the Vorarlberg Alps so completely that the mountains feel like a design choice. This is a proper Austrian restaurant inside a mountain hotel, and the menu leans into regional classics: Wiener schnitzel, goulash with sour cream, Bregenzerwald cheese spätzle, Kaiserschmarrn. The terrace, when weather allows, makes the view even harder to ignore.


  62. Rank 74. Stüva

    Modern French

    The wood paneling at this fine dining room inside Hotel Yscla keeps things grounded while everything else quietly signals serious ambition. Benjamin Parth holds two Michelin stars and works in spare, precise plates where a few components carry most of the weight. A set menu runs four to seven courses, and the sommelier on the floor knows her cellar well enough that you should probably just ask.


  63. The Sieberer family has been running this Michelin-starred fine dining room inside Ischgl's Trofana Royal for long enough that father and two sons now share the kitchen. The cooking is contemporary alpine, rooted in classical technique, and the menus run anywhere from four to ten courses depending on how the evening shapes up. Dark wood, candlelight, and the kind of service that anticipates the question before you ask it.


  64. Rank 76. Schlossherrnstube

    Contemporary French

    Five tables inside a warm-wood dining room tucked inside a luxury Alpine hotel: Schlossherrnstube is about as intimate as fine dining gets. The kitchen runs a single set menu of French-influenced cooking, and a Michelin star hangs above it all. The sommelier doubles as maître d' and steers the evening with the kind of calm authority that makes a long tasting menu feel like a gift rather than an endurance sport.


  65. Rank 77. Griggeler Stuba

    Modern Japanese

    A wood-panelled fine dining room inside a ski resort in car-free Oberlech, which sets the tone: this is somewhere people arrive on foot, already in a good mood. The chef weaves a quiet Japanese thread through Alpine ingredients, landing two Michelin stars for the trouble. A sommelier navigates a cellar running to some 4,500 labels, and the kitchen sends out each set menu's raw ingredients for inspection before cooking begins.



  66. Rank 79. La Fenice

    Alpine Mediterranean

    A Michelin-starred fine dining restaurant tucked inside Hotel Arlberg, reached through its own entrance so it feels like a destination rather than an afterthought. Warm wood, painted ceilings, and upholstered armchairs set a quietly ornate tone, and the staff have clearly been here long enough to remember your preference for still water. The kitchen runs an Alpine-Mediterranean tasting menu across five to eight courses, with a wine list that runs past a thousand labels.


  67. A summer terrace and a Michelin star in a small Swiss village feels like a happy accident, but this is a polished classic-cuisine restaurant that earns the detour. The chef's cooking is pared back and precise, letting market produce do the talking without fuss or flourish. Front-of-house runs with the same quiet confidence. Book ahead and leave the evening open.



  68. The shingle facade blends into the Vorarlberg hillside as naturally as the wood and stone inside, where a regional restaurant runs a serious evening tasting menu alongside a lighter lunch set and a more traditional à la carte. The terrace looks straight onto the ski slopes, which keeps the mood grounded no matter how composed the plate gets. A solid reason to linger in a village that most people drive straight through.



  69. On the fifth floor of Hotel Einstein, this two-Michelin-star fine dining room runs a tight international set menu of four to six courses, no gimmicks, just clean, precise cooking with serious ingredients. The front-of-house team keeps things warm without getting stiff, and the sommelier works from a vaulted limestone cellar holding around 3,000 labels, Swiss rarities included. Book ahead and mention if you eat vegetarian.


  70. Rank 85. Ullrs Gourmetstube

    Alpine New American

    Four large tables in a room of pale wood and green tiles set the stage for a Michelin-starred tasting menu that mashes up Alpine, Japanese, and Nordic ideas with a straight face. The kitchen inside St. Anton's Ullrhaus hotel works at a precise, confident clip, balancing shellfish with citrus acidity or pigeon with plum umeboshi in ways that feel considered rather than clever. The wine list leans Austria, Italy, and France, and the service knows exactly when to talk.


  71. Rank 86. Téa del Kosmo

    Alpine Italian

    Four tables around a central fireplace, walls clad in reclaimed timber: this intimate gourmet tasting-menu room is tucked behind the livelier Kosmo Taste the Mountain, reachable by lift from the car park below. The chef, Apulian by birth but clearly seduced by the Alps, builds creative menus around mountain ingredients and a kitchen garden, and his vegetable dishes, a celeriac study or a plate called "100% carrot," have a way of outlasting everything else in memory.



  72. The terrace hangs high above St. Anton, which sets the tone before anyone's opened a menu. This two-Michelin-star fine dining room inside a boutique Alpine hotel pairs mountain luxury with cooking that takes classic technique somewhere more unexpected, the kind of contrasts where braised apricot and saffron hollandaise end up on the same plate as veal sweetbreads and it all makes sense. Around 600 labels on the wine list, and a set menu that sounds like a gap year but eats like a tasting menu.



  73. The two-storey architecture and an imposing bar that stops you in the doorway set the tone for this Michelin-starred creative restaurant in Sankt Gallen. Warm wood, gold accents, and deep dark tones frame a set menu of five or six courses built around a rotating theme, with the kitchen drawing from the region while keeping one eye on the wider world. House-made cocktail pairings, including alcohol-free versions, are a genuine differentiator.


  74. Perched over a thousand meters up and reached by a steep, narrow road, this wood-panelled mountain inn holds a Michelin star alongside views of peaks and lake that do most of the convincing on their own. The kitchen follows the seasons with a certain alpine unpretentiousness, and the wine cellar runs to tens of thousands of bottles, which is quietly absurd for somewhere this remote. Overnight rooms mean you can stay and make a full day of it.


  75. Rank 92. Corso

    Alpine Austrian

    Franz Ackermann's artwork hangs against a minimalist interior just off the old town, and the open kitchen makes it clear this is a serious dinner destination. Markus Schenk holds a Michelin star for his Alpine cooking, a five-course evening menu that leans on seasonal ingredients without losing its footing in something recognizable. Lunch is a quieter, simpler affair for anyone with a meeting to get back to.


  76. A Michelin-starred fine dining restaurant tucked inside a family-run Alpine hotel in St. Anton's quieter St. Jakob quarter. The room is small and warmly decorated, the kind of place where the wood feels like it means something. The chef leans hard on Tyrolean ingredients and builds menus around contrast and regional produce. The wine list is unusually unpretentious for a room at this level, which the regulars have clearly noticed.


  77. The bread rolls come from the chef's mother, which tells you something about how this Michelin-starred restaurant in Sankt Gallen operates. It's a modern fine dining room, warm tones and clean lines, running three- to eight-course seasonal menus that pull from the surrounding region and beyond. The truffle course has been a fixture for years. The sommelier works the room quietly, and house-made chocolates arrive with coffee. Lunch is a gentler affair.


  78. Rank 95. Magdalena

    Modern New American

    Floor-to-ceiling windows frame a valley view that does a lot of the heavy lifting before the food even arrives. Magdalena holds two Michelin stars and runs on a "raw, rugged, regional" philosophy, which in practice means a vegetarian surprise menu built around small Swiss producers and a bread-and-butter combination that reportedly causes immediate regret about the courses still ahead. The kitchen skews seasonal, fermented, and quietly ambitious.


  79. Rank 96. Anker

    German

    A first-floor dining room in the Appenzell hills, low ceilings and wood panelling doing exactly what low ceilings and wood panelling are supposed to do. This is a traditional Swiss restaurant with a Bib Gourmand, running a menu of veal liver, rösti, and Chateaubriand for two, with the meat coming from the restaurant's own butchery. The tram to St. Gallen stops nearby, which is either convenient or a reason to stay for one more round.


  80. A Bib Gourmand dining room inside a small village hotel in the Lower Engadine, where the kitchen leans hard into regional cooking without any of the alpine-rustic theater. Local produce does the heavy lifting, the wine list is priced like someone thought about it, and lunch runs shorter than dinner. The building also happens to house a Giacometti collection, which is either a bonus or the actual reason you're in Sent.


  81. Rank 98. Segreto

    Mediterranean

    A one-Michelin-star Mediterranean restaurant tucked into a business park, which is either an incongruous surprise or a very Swiss statement. The conservatory opens up in summer so it nearly reads as a terrace, and there's a lounge for aperitifs overlooking the garden. The cooking strips dishes to their essentials without losing depth, and the front-of-house team runs a digital wine list they clearly take seriously. A separate pizza and pasta spot, Al Covo, runs on weekends.


  82. Rank 99. Heimatbühne

    Tyrolean Austrian

    Warm wood paneling, a handful of tables, and a direct view of the ski slope set the scene at this cosy Austrian restaurant inside Hotel Trofana Royal. The à la carte menu leans into the Tyrol hard, with highland beef, local trout, and Alpine cheese doing most of the heavy lifting. It skips the formality of the hotel's fine dining room in favor of something you'd happily collapse into after a long day on the mountain.


  83. Rank 100. Mammertsberg

    Creative New American

    The view stretches all the way to Lake Constance, which sets the tone before you've looked at the menu. This is a fine dining restaurant holding two Michelin stars, where Silvio Germann works alongside Andreas Caminada to produce cooking that sounds simple on paper and lands anything but. The wine cellar runs to over a thousand labels, the service is the kind that anticipates you, and the terrace in summer makes a strong case for arriving early.
