Didi's Frieden

Top choice in Zürich


With its unique blend of familiarity and refinement, Didi’s Frieden features among Zürich’s top tables. The look is understated elegance, with wood floors, white tablecloths and wine-glass chandeliers. Service is discreet yet attentive, while menus sing of the seasons in dishes like venison steak with wild mushrooms and red wine-shallot jus – big on integral flavours and presented with panache.

Be sure to save room for dessert to see the chef’s artistic streak. It’s worth booking ahead as it’s popular. In summer you can sit out on the ivy-draped terrace.
