Zurich Food Tour

Zurich is an incredibly scenic destination as you’ll discover from the moment you arrive. The city hugs the serene Lake Zurich where beautiful historic buildings and homes clamour for the best vantage points.

This historic city centre (Altstadt) is wonderfully walkable, an ideal location for indulging in the city’s culinary delights.

Unfortunately, Zurich doesn’t offer a typical food tour with multiple stops and tastings like you might be hoping to experience. However, there are a number of popular food-related tours that you might find interesting.

Top Pick
Sightseeing and Gourmet Tour with Cheese Fondue

Duration: 4.5 hours.
Tastings: 4-course cheese fondue meal including dessert and a drink.
Suitable for vegetarians: Yes (advise when booking).
Recommended for vegans: Not recommended as the cheese fondue is the main highlight.
Allergy-friendly: Possibly (advise when booking).
Limited mobility inclusive: No

This popular tour is more of a Swiss food experience rather than a food tour. The guide takes you on a tour of Zurich that includes a quick visit to the Lindt chocolate shop and is followed by a meal at a Swiss restaurant. You’ll arrive at the restaurant via a cable car where you’ll have incredible panoramic views of the surroundings. The 4-course meal includes an appetiser, drink, salad, all-you-can-eat cheese fondue and chocolate cake for dessert.

Pros: An experienced guide will present the main sights in Zurich and a small town outside of the city.

Cons: This isn’t a typical food tour but a Swiss meal with an all you can eat cheese fondue.

After almost 20 years of living and travelling in Europe, I created these guides to share my food experiences. Over the years I’ve taken many food tours, attended gourmet festivals, enjoyed the occasional cooking class and drank a hell of a lot of coffee. I hope these guides will help you do the same.
