When it gets cold and dark outside, it’s finally time for fondue season! To help you find the best spots for hot cheese, we have compiled a list of restaurants in Zurich.
Raclette Factory
If you’re in a hurry, the Raclette Factory is the place to be: Here you can find everything from smoky and spicy raclette to the classic cheese dream, more or less on the go or for a quick bite. From ten francs you are in.

Rindermarkt 1, 8001 ZH
Swiss Chuchi Restaurant
The menu lives up to its name: In the Swiss Chuchi, you can enjoy all kinds of Swiss specialties, including fondue and raclette. How about the version with Prosecco? Or would you prefer the version with truffles or morels? It’s accompanied by ice-cold schnapps – let’s say for better digestion.

Rosengasse 10, 8001 ZH
Le Dézaley
At Le Dézaley we find Vaud specialties as well as our beloved cheese fondue! Whether with morels, black truffles or a version based on an old family recipe, you can spend a cozy evening with friends within these charming, traditional four walls.

Römergasse 7/9, 8001 ZH
Fribourger Fonduestübli
In the Fonduestübli, the forks are busy stirring! There are caquelons on every table, and hungry faces sit all around with their skewered pieces of bread. Here, the kitchen is devoted entirely to fondue fribourgeoise. We can choose between pure Vacherin and moitié-moitié: limited choice makes life easier!

Rotwandstrasse 38, 8004 ZH
Raclette parlor
In the raclette parlor, we don’t just enjoy the delicately melted cheese: Fondue fribourgeoise and valaisanne enchant us just as much! While we wrap the potatoes in the cheese, we are accompanied by exquisite wines and special cherry brandy. So if you are looking for a successful Swiss dinner, you have found the perfect place in the Raclette Stube.

Zähringerstrasse 16, 8001 ZH
Chalet Züriberg
We like to spend our evenings in this cozy chalet. If you don’t fancy the raclette cheese from Zurich, there are also various fondues available here! Creations such as crispy bacon cubes with onions or a fondue with chili for hot-blooded people await you at Chalet Züriberg.

Orellistrasse 21, 8044 ZH
Gmüetliberg
Things are pretty relaxed on the Uetliberg. Their fondue assortment warms us up comfortably while we enjoy a breathtaking view! Wild garlic, saffron or garlic fondue are on the menu alongside other varieties. If not only our stomachs but also our hearts are beaming with joy, we have undoubtedly made the right decision.

Gratstrasse, 8143 ZH
Winter magic
In the open air you can enjoy hot mulled wine, sweet churros and delicious raclette! The highlight? The rings of fire! Standing around a hot ring with friends, watching the cheese slowly melt and feeling the cool air in your lungs at the same time – a unique experience! And it is precisely this winter magic that you can experience on the Uetliberg from November to February.

Älplerstube
From November to the end of January, cheese fondue is melted in the courtyard of the Hotel Glockenhof! Between all the wood and the warm decorations, we feel like we’re in a little parlor in the Alps. Now all that’s missing is the right cheese accompaniment and the evening can begin!

Sihlstrasse 31, 8001 ZH
Chäsalp
At the Chäsalp, cheese is enjoyed in a very special place: The Tobelhof farm, which is a listed building, boasts 500 years of history. The wide selection of cheese fondues is particularly good to eat here. But if you prefer raclette, you can choose between mild, peppery or with garlic. A dream come true for cheese lovers!

Tobelhofstrasse 236, 8044 ZH
Mrs. Gerolds Winterstübli
From October to March, Mrs. Gerold opens her doors again: between decorated fir trees and fairy lights, we take a seat in the warmed garden room. In the fresh air and with plenty of space, we enjoy the steaming cheese in front of us. There’s no doubt that we get into the Christmas spirit here!

Geroldstrasse 23/23a, 8005 ZH
Valais jug
With just one step, we find ourselves in the Valais mountains: the dark wood harmonizes wonderfully with the furnishings, which have been selected with noticeable passion: At the Walliser Kanne, we not only feel at home, but also enjoy an extensive selection of raclette and fondue.

Lintheschergasse 21, 8001 ZH
Haldenegg restaurant
Swiss cuisine is very important in the Haldenegg restaurant! In addition to numerous Swiss specialties, we also have fondues of all kinds! Straight from the Splügen dairy in the canton of Graubünden, the cheese soon lands in the pot and we swing our forks through the organic fondue.

Leonhardstrasse 1, 8001 ZH
Strozzi’s beach house
At the beginning of November, the beach house is transformed into a fondue house! We spend wonderful evenings in his tent directly on Lake Zurich and choose between meat and cheese fondues. The cheese version is available either with morels and leek straw, truffles and champagne or with fresh chilies!

Seestrasse 146, 8704 Herrliberg
Jura view
Something for hikers: the Jurablick on the Uetliberg can only be reached on foot! So if you want to try the delicious fondue, you have to get your feet moving. As hiking alone is pretty boring, it’s best to take a partner with you – because you can only have Jurablick’s fondue with a minimum of two people. Fondue fun is most enjoyable in company anyway.

Jurablick 1, 8143 Uetliberg
Cheese fondue boat – ZSG
From October onwards, we dream under the stars and on Lake Zurich: in the fondue boat, we plaster the melting cheese and enjoy the view of Zurich at night. Raclette and fondue are served with hot tea or matching wines. And if you need to cool off, you can simply go on deck.
