What to expect

  1. Old Town
    30m
    Get ready with us to live an experience across Swiss traditional flavours! During this walking food tour you will discover some hidden gems of Zurich cuisine, but also regional and national delicacies, with the help of our Local Expert.

  2. Niederdorf
    45m
    We will start your culinary journey in Niederdorf, a lively neighbourhood of the Old Town, near the shore of Limmat river. Here, you will see where the locals go shopping, discover adorable artisanal boutiques full of various products, and of course enjoy some local cuisine!
    At lunch, we will start with a staple of Germanic cuisine: the iconic bretzel, a heart-shaped bread with a knot at its center, symbolizing union. You will try it plain or in a typical Zurich style - with some butter inside!
    At dinner, get inside one of these local boutiques and indulge in a sweet tasting of traditional honey-flavoured biscuits, called Tirggels, and discover their (festive) history! And after that, you can't miss a tasting of another Swiss product that doesn't need any presentation: Alpine cheese, in different shapes, flavours and textures!
  3. Bellevue Square
    45m
    Literally meaning "Beautiful Sight" in French, Bellevue Square is one of the most important nodal points for Zurich transportation, where locals can enjoy a stunning view on thw lake or a show at the city Opera theatre, that's right near this square.
    During our morning tour, in this district you will live an authentic Zurich lunch break in a local grill restaurant. Have a seat and enjoy a delicious sausage - grilled right in front of your eyes - with fragrant bread and a refreshing beer.
  4. Grossmunster
    1h
    Grossmünster is the ancient cathedral and one of the four major churches in town, the place where Protestant reformation started in Zurich and still nowadays you can admire its beautiful, Medieval Romanesque style.
    And right nearby, you will have a seat in a traditional restaurant, where you will try some local main dishes in a charming atmosphere.
    At lunch, discover Swiss cheese while eating a hot, creamy fondue with bread or a crispy potato Rösti with some melted cheese on top.
    At dinner, enjoy a typical Zurich dish: potato Rösti served with a creamy mushroom sauce and veal or with a delicious grilled sausage and an amazing onion gravy on top. Of course served with a glass of house beer!
  5. 30m
    Banhofstrasse is probably one of the most iconic streets in town, also known as the Zurich Fifth Avenue, thanks to its luxury boutiques along its entire lenght.
    But you won't find only watches and jewels here! In fact, we will end on a sweet note with two unmissable delicacies: the renowned Swiss chocolate and a treat from an historical chocolate and pastry shop, whose name has been officially registered. Can you guess what will it be?
