The best seafood in Switzerland, according to the experts: the Michelin Guide has weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Le Cigalon comes out on top, and the good stuff runs deepest in Geneva and Zürich.

Fischerstube and Badalucci hold the next two places.
-
Rank 1. Le Cigalon
Seafood French
The fish on the menu reads like a Brittany postcard, which is the point: this Michelin-starred French seafood restaurant in the Geneva suburbs sources direct from the Roscoff and Audierne fish markets, with diver-caught scallops from Norwegian waters. The cooking is precise, the portions generous, and in good weather the terrace opens up. Book the kitchen table for five if you want the full theatrical version.

Rank 2. Fischerstube
Seafood
A vaulted cellar you can book for private dinners sets the tone at this old-school seafood restaurant on the Weesen market square. Fish does most of the work on the menu, with a handful of meat and vegetarian dishes alongside, all leaning seasonal and unfussy. The Michelin Guide awarded it a Bib Gourmand. Set menus run from three to six courses, or you can go à la carte in a classically dressed room with attentive service.

Rank 3. Badalucci
Seafood Italian
The seabass tartare arrives with cold spaghetti, which sounds like a dare and turns out to be the point. This is an old-school Italian seafood restaurant, slightly outside the centre, run by a chef with roots on the island of Procida. Fish and seafood carry the menu, with meat dishes and vegetarian options alongside. The wine list leans hard into champagne, which pairs nicely with the olive oil they treat with the same seriousness as everything else.

Rank 3. Fiskebar
Nordic Seafood
The open kitchen faces the lake, which tells you something about the confidence level here. Fiskebar is a Scandinavian seafood restaurant inside Geneva's Ritz-Carlton, leaning into fermentation and smoking with enough Mediterranean ease to keep it from feeling austere. The fish and shellfish come through short supply chains, the wine list runs toward biodynamic bottles, and the room mixes raw materials with something sleeker.
