Two recommendations:. Didi's Frieden, very good, on the expensive side but worth it. Reservation a must. Also Haus Hiltl, vegetarian restaurant open since 1898. Expansive buffet, charges by weight, but reasonable.

It will be very hard to find “pocket friendly” restaurants in Switzerland!

I can give you a few recommendations in Zurich that I have been to:

• Zeughauskeller for authentic Swiss/German food
• Hiltl as dayhikers recommended for fully vegetarian options.
• Chäsalp for fondue
• Volkshaus for cheaperäish Swiss food
• Cafe Schober for an amazing cafe in old town.

Hi Lucas…can’t seem to reply to Nidhi.

The absolutely best food in Luzern is usually at the Palace Hotel. Dress well, and bring lot and lots of Swiss Franks. And, then , lots more CHF. Did I say expensive?

Switzerland is a sophisticated country, small. close knit, with excellent communication networks. If there is a restaurant that has not fine-tuned it’s prices to match the quality, I’d be amazed.

A way to judge restaurant quality, perhaps one cut below the Michelin Guide Rouge ( which is the most reliable and “official” authority; buy it when you arrive or check on line) are Gault-Millau points. I have never checked their website (if the have one) but they are good at rating restaurants, cover a lot of places, and when I have eaten at restaurants that they review, I agree with their ratings.
