Seerose

In summer months, many of the city's fashionable boating crowd head to this chic lakeside hotspot, right on the shores of Lake Zurich. Book well in advance to ensure a table on the attractive lakeside deck, where there are giant nautical-striped parasols. The waiting staff can be a bit snobbish and brusque at times, but the top-notch cuisine more than makes up for any shortfalls in service. The mouth-watering beef tournedos is the signature dish here, although the fish dishes also come highly recommended, especially the grilled sole. The daily two-course lunch menu is a good value at CHF31.50, or you can opt for the Seerose's latest craze, an "anti-aging menu" for CHF36.50.
