The MICHELIN Guide Switzerland 2025 celebrates three new establishments with two Michelin Star status

Michelin is pleased to reveal today the restaurant selection for the MICHELIN Guide Switzerland 2025. Unveiled at a ceremony held at the EHL Hospitality Business School in Lausanne, this latest edition highlights a vibrant trend: of the 145 starred restaurants, 114 have one star, 27 have two stars and the four three‑star restaurants maintain their distinction.

In Switzerland, more and more chefs are focusing on highlighting regional, seasonal produce and working closely with local producers to deliver cuisine rooted in its terroir and aligned with contemporary expectations. Perch from Frutigen, farmed salmon from Lostallo, salt‑water basin‑raised prawns, trout and char from small farms, organic Engadine lamb, free‑range poultry, and responsibly‑produced rapeseed oil: these carefully selected ingredients illustrate a genuine commitment to quality, traceability and respect for resources.

This local anchoring also shows in the conviviality of many restaurants, which offer lunch “dish of the day” menus — an accessible formula that stays true to authentic, engaged cuisine. Traditional addresses have also been retained in the guide despite changes in direction, with a renewed shine, in particular Le Pont de Brent (Brent) and Talvo (St Moritz). Moreover, the trend for modern, high‑end gastronomic bars continues, such as Minamo (Lucerne) and Rosmarin (Lenzburg).

The four three‑Michelin‑Star restaurants retain their distinction
The new Swiss selection confirms the exceptional level of excellence in the Swiss gastronomic scene. Proof of this: the four restaurants awarded three stars last year keep their distinction, a testament to their remarkable consistency in quality, creativity and commitment at the very top level.

• Memories at the Grand Resort Bad Ragaz (SG), with Sven Wassmer’s team

• Cheval Blanc by Peter Knogl in Basel (BS), with Peter Knogl as head chef

• Restaurant de l’Hôtel de Ville in Crissier (VD), with Franck Giovannini in the kitchen

• Schloss Schauenstein in Fürstenau (GR), with Andreas Caminada and Marcel Skibba at the stove

Three new restaurants achieve two MICHELIN Stars

Among the 27 restaurants awarded two stars this year, three make their entry, illustrating the dynamism and continuing excellence of the Swiss culinary scene.

• At IGNIV by Andreas Caminada in Andermatt (UR), young chef Valentin Sträuli, pupil of Andreas Caminada and former chef of Schloss Schauenstein, delivers an exceptional performance. The original “Sharing Experience” concept by Andreas Caminada earns this newly‑selected restaurant two MICHELIN Stars.

• Ecco at the Hôtel Giardino in Ascona (TI) also attains two stars. Reto Brändli, who distinguished himself at the Lorenz Adlon in Berlin, presents refined cuisine that masterfully blends tradition and modernity using top quality ingredients.

• In Savièse (VS), Gilles Varone advances from one to two MICHELIN Stars. The chef‑owner of the eponymous restaurant offers precise cuisine founded on carefully selected Swiss seasonal produce.

Eighteen new restaurants earn their first MICHELIN Star

The new edition of the MICHELIN Guide Switzerland 2025 features 18 new restaurants awarded one star. They join the 96 existing one‑star establishments for a total of 114. Among the newcomers:

• LA in Basel (BS), led by chef Matthieu Juden­ne, charms with modern, pared‑back cuisine centered on seasonality and full of surprises.

• Le Pont de Brent in Brent (VD), whose new owner/chef Joeffry Fraiche has quickly earned a star for his regional, seasonal cuisine which cleverly combines classic craftsmanship with modern ideas.

• Fiescherblick in Grindelwald (BE), where chef Aurélien Mettler and his team offer a modern “Chef’s Choice” seasonal menu that highlights regional produce.

• Felix Lo Basso in Lugano (TI) is worth the detour: he offers creative Mediterranean cuisine with a focus on high‑quality ingredients.

• Corso in St Gallen (SG), whose owner/chef Markus Schenk presents dishes with seasonal, alpine‑region ingredients; the result is a menu that is both bold and grounded in simplicity, where the product takes center stage.

• Talvo in St Moritz (GR) also deserves mention: Kevin Fernandez has succeeded Martin Dalsass and continued his long‑standing success. His Mediterranean cuisine, built on carefully selected produce and combining classicism with personal inspirations, immediately earned a first star for this house rich in tradition.

MICHELIN Special Awards celebrate three talented professionals

This year, three talented professionals are honoured with a Special Prize for their know‑how and their desire to provide memorable gastronomic experiences while raising standards in the restaurant industry. In addition to the traditional distinctions, these awards highlight the diversity of professions that contribute to this ecosystem.

• MICHELIN Service Award (presented by Pernod Ricard): awarded to Nadine Baumgartner of the restaurant MATOS in Lucerne, itself awarded a star this year for the creative cuisine of Oscar de Matos. She is recognised for greeting guests with warm hospitality, authentic charm and flawless professionalism, offering a dining experience that is both pleasant and memorable.

• MICHELIN Young Chef Award (presented by Blancpain): awarded to Benjamin Geisser, a very young chef at the restaurant Soleil d’Or by David Geisser, whose sophisticated and well‑thought‑out cuisine wins over gastronomes.

• MICHELIN Sommelier Award (presented by Swiss Wine): awarded to Charline Pichon, head sommelier at Restaurant de l’Hôtel de Ville in Crissier. She stands out for her deep wine‑knowledge and her hospitality, in perfect harmony with Chef Franck Giovannini’s cuisine.

Five restaurants distinguished with the Bib Gourmand

In this year’s selection, the MICHELIN Guide awards the Bib Gourmand to five establishments. In total, the selection counts 104 addresses with this distinction.

The Bib Gourmand is awarded to restaurants that offer an excellent price‑quality ratio and delight their guests with tasty, refined yet accessible cuisine, often anchored in regional produce. The newcomers: Le Dorian in Geneva (GE), Au Vieux Nendaz in Haute‑Nendaz (VS), Château Attisholz – Brasserie la Source in Riedholz (SO), La Scarpetta in St Moritz (GR), and Freilager La Trattoria in Zürich (ZH).
