  2. Rank 2. Mikuriya

    Contemporary Japanese

    Eight seats at a counter inside a converted hotel suite, where chef Atsushi Hiraoka runs a Japanese omakase for guests who are met at reception and escorted in, as if arriving at a very civilized secret. The room is minimalist and spare, the pace unhurried, and the sake list exists for a reason. The Dolder Grand provides the address; this quietly does its own thing inside it.

  5. Rank 2. tsuru tsuru noodlebar

    Japanese Noodle Shop

    A compact noodle bar tucked into central Zurich that feels like it was airlifted in from a Tokyo side street, right down to the service and the sake. Thick udon, rice bowls, and small sharing plates keep things simple and focused. The room fills fast and the vibe runs warm, which makes the hot sake on a cold Swiss evening feel less like a menu item and more like good timing.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
