Flavors of the Alps
Swiss cuisine is rich and comforting, with clear influences from its German, French and Italian neighbors. However, it has developed its own identity based on the exceptional quality of its local products, especially its cheeses and dairy products. Each region has its specialties, but there are iconic dishes that have crossed all borders.
Must-Try Dishes
Cheese Fondue
The national dish par excellence. It consists of a mixture of Swiss cheeses (such as Gruyère and Vacherin Fribourgeois) melted with white wine and Kirsch (cherry brandy) in a ceramic pot called 'caquelon'. It is eaten by dipping pieces of bread.
Raclette
Another social dish focused on cheese. Raclette cheese is melted and shaved over cooked potatoes, accompanied by pickles, pickled scallions and other pickles.
Rösti
A type of omelette or cake made of grated potatoes and fried in butter until they are golden and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It can be served as a main dish (often with a fried egg and sausage) or as a side dish.
Zürcher Geschnetzeltes
A typical Zurich dish. They are thin strips of beef cooked in a creamy white wine and mushroom sauce. Traditionally, it is served with Rösti.
Älplermagronen
Known as Alpine Shepherds' Macaroni, it is the Swiss version of macaroni and cheese. It is a gratin of pasta, potatoes, cheese, cream and onion, which is traditionally served with applesauce.
Bündnerfleisch
A dried meat cured in the air, typical of the canton of Graubünden. It is cut into very thin slices and served as an appetizer or on a charcuterie board. Its flavor is intense and delicate.
Typical Drinks
Swiss Wine
Switzerland produces excellent wines, especially whites, which are rarely exported. Don't miss a Chasselas from the terraced vineyards of Lavaux (UNESCO Heritage Site) on the shores of Lake Geneva.
Rivella
Considered the national drink of Switzerland, it is a carbonated soft drink made from whey, herbs and fruits. It has a unique flavor and is very popular throughout the country.
Schnaps/Kirsch
Fruit spirits, known as 'Schnaps', are popular digestives. The most famous is 'Kirsch', a cherry distillate that is also used to flavor fondue and desserts such as Zug cherry pie.
Apple Juice (Apfelsaft)
It is often served in its cloudy, natural version ('naturtrüb') or mixed with sparkling water ('Shorley' or 'Gespritzter Apfelsaft'). It is a refreshing and widely consumed drink.
Traditional Sweets
Swiss Chocolate
More than a dessert, it is a national treasure. The quality of Swiss chocolate is recognized worldwide thanks to inventions such as milk chocolate or the conching process. It is a souvenir and a mandatory pleasure.
Bündner Nusstorte
Also known as Engadine walnut tart, it is a dense pastry with a shortcrust pastry filled with caramelized walnuts and cream. A hearty and delicious sweet, perfect for replenishing energy.
Meringues with Gruyère Cream
A specialty of the Gruyère region. Crispy, light meringues served with an incredibly thick and delicious double cream from the region. A simple but heavenly combination.
Zuger Kirschtorte
A cake from the city of Zug. It consists of layers of hazelnut meringue and sponge cake soaked in 'Kirsch' (cherry brandy), held together by a buttercream. It is an elegant dessert with a distinctive flavor.
