Switzerland's cuisine takes on the flavours of its neighbours, which means you'll sample the best of Germanic, French and Italian traditions, woven into unique regional dishes. Swiss food tends to be simple, wholesome and unfussy, making the most of quality local produce. Rich in cheese and potatoes, Swiss cuisine is also the ultimate in clean, comfort food.

Traditional Swiss dishes include the world famous fondue, a molten cheese served with dipping bread, as well as potato rostis and raclette. For dessert indulge in strudel, pies, tortes and of course, one of the country's most famous exports; Swiss chocolate. In the cities, and even some of the ski resorts, there is a progressive haute cuisine movement, resulting in a high concentration of Michelin-starred restaurants.
