About Restaurants in Zurich
There are plenty of good restaurants in Zurich.
We mention only a few
that might be of particular interest to conference attendees. The selection is entirely subjective.
Reservation is strongly recommended for most restaurants.
Tipping is not mandatory (and some people prefer to give nothing since service is nominally included by law).
However, we suggest a tip on the order of 5% (and rather more in top places) if you are happy.
