Summer is my absolute favourite season in Zürich and there is nothing better than eating out when the sun is out.

Below you’ll find a list of my favourite lakeside restaurants in Zürich and around the lake - all of the restaurants listed below are places where you are right by the lake and can enjoy the breeze and maybe a little dip before/after lunch.

I have finally come around to doing the guide for my home town - Lugano - below you’ll find where to eat, drink and sleep in this charming city in the south of Switzerland. It was definitely not easy to list my favourite restaurants as there are really a lot of great places where you can eat or snack. The best part of a trip to Lugano is combining something a bit more fancy with an evening at a “Grotto” to see everything the city has to offer.

Gelato holds a special place in my heart as one of my favorite desserts or snacks, especially during the summer. It's no secret that I can easily indulge in an ice cream treat every day. With that in mind, I decided it was about time to compile a list of my preferred gelato pit stops in Zürich. Let me tell you, it was no easy task to arrange them in order of preference, but Gelateria Oro managed to win me over this year and rightfully claims the number one spot. That being said, all of these gelaterias are equally delightful in their own way.

At first sight, Zürich wouldn’t strike you as a typical Burger city but the options and the quality of the burgers is bound to surprise you. After all, Switzerland is known both for its great meat quality and yummy cheese so how can they go wrong? After trying almost every burger in town I made the following selection for you to choose from, making sure that there is at least one vegan or vegetarian option available! The Bite and Stamped are the definite winners for me along with Himalaya Burger which is an absolute must try!
