    Steinbock

    While there are dozens of phoney and/or overpriced Swiss restaurants lining Höheweg, this humble tavern is one in which locals also eat. Another good option for Swiss food is the Hirschen.

    West End

    Amuse yourselves with the wine list and remember that good things come to those who wait, as you survey the incongruous Swiss interior of this buzzing, congenial Italian restaurant. Many of the pasta and other dishes are freshly homemade and can take a while to arrive at your table, but when they do, they're usually delicious.

    Benacus

    Super-cool Benacus is a breath of urban air with its glass walls, slick wine-red sofas, lounge music and street-facing terrace. The TV show Funky Kitchen Club is filmed here. The menu stars creative flavours like potato and star anis soup and Aargau chicken with caramelised pak choi.

    Belvédère Brasserie

    Yes it’s attached to the boring-look Hapimag, but this brasserie has upbeat modern decor and a terrace with appetising Jungfrau views. It serves international favourites such as veal in merlot sauce, alongside a handful of Swiss stalwarts like fondue and rösti.

    Goldener Anker

    Even fussy eaters will find tastebud pleasers at this beamed restaurant, which, locals will whisper in your ear, is the best in town. The globetrotting menu tempts with everything from sizzling fajitas to red snapper and ostrich steaks. It also has a roster of live bands.

    Sandwich Bar

    This crimson-walled snack bar is an untouristy gem. Choose your bread and get creative with fillings (our favourite is Bündnerfleisch, sundried tomatoes and parmesan). Otherwise try tasty soups, salads, toasties and locally made ice cream.

    Schuh

    Schuh is a Viennese-style coffee house with can’t-stop-at-one pastries and pralines. Skip dinner, however, as the tinkling, Barry Manilow–style piano and sickly pink interior can feel like being trapped in a 1970s B-movie.

    Pizzeria Horn

    Exposed brick, chunky tables and photos of Don Camillo set the scene at this inviting piz- zeria. Find a cosy nook to feast on antipasti and delicious wood-oven pizza. There’s alfresco dining on the garden terrace in summer.

    Welcome India

    Decorated like a true curry house with carved wooden statues and a garish mixture of black, orange and yellow, this is the best of several local Indian restaurants. The menu includes Punjabi and northern Indian specialities.

    Top o’ Met

    For coffee and cake, or a cocktail, try Top o’ Met on the top floor of the Metropole Hotel, which has stellar views.
